Just need some snow. Ron

I agree. Tired of rain and then right back to the 90s.

must be a Brit metric ratio woodchip.

So night Hunter, I'm more intrigued. Hints of a bigger saw....I know you plan to do some milling.... You've got (2) ms660..... It's go big or go home time I guess!

yeah I suppose but how can you pass up a brand new 880 with with a 48" bar for a genuine €600 when they retail at €1750 and its straight from the dealer as Well ?

 

[James Miller]

12” was on the 011, 250 has 16”.

Hope that's 16" of pico chain cause 16" of 325 makes for a turd of a saw on the 250.

33:1 liter is probably 50:1 gal. You’re right, probably a Brit thing.

Got my 490 set up today for the 3/8 lp, once the monsoon passes I can give it a try out.

I thought you were going for the red and black one, someone scoop it up before you could make it happen.
Congrats on the 441cm, smooth saw and I really like the sound of them cutting with a longer bar.
I never had a problem with my early standard carb or cm versions, always fired right up .

Yeah I really thought about dolmar but I like the mtronic-auto tune. I still would like to try a dolmar 7910 sometime though. I read a lot about the 441, something I noticed was about 90% of the people that didn’t like them and recommended people to not get them had never ran one. And about 90% that had ran them really liked them. Some said 441 feels heavy-bulky compared to 044-440, doesn’t seem that way to me at all. Defiantly runs a little stronger than a stock 440. I like it. Because of positive things said by you, Mike, and turnkey helped me to know it would be a good saw.

Joe, (Rarefish), A local seller on theoutdoorstrader has several Savage 99s for sale, different caibers, different prices. Here is a link to one listing. https://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/t...igh-power-caliber-lever-action-rifle.1767046/
Inherited from his father, I think he said. i just bought a handgun from him.

Thanks, checking right now. Think I'll pass on that one. I saw at least 5 extra screw holes from a side mount and an odd no longer made top mount. 1913 was the second year of production so it is an early one. I have a 1912 with a Malcolm scope, and a letter from the Savage Historian confirming the rifle was sold to Malcolm. Thanks for thinking about me, much appreciated.

I knew that; I even looked up stats & forum conversations on the worthiness of the 011 saw. I wasn't familiar with an 011, and didn't wish to look like a chump handing out advice on a saw I knew nothing about. I did know my old 009 has no trouble with a 16" bar.

Not sure how that 250 got typed in there. ​

Not sure what you are suggesting. Oil ratio is the same, whether Metric, Imperial, or Mauritian.

I think you'll like it. The nose sprocket on my poulan bar locked up the other day. So mines going back to the 325 16" setup and hitting the road some time this week. The 250 will be my small saw for awhile till I pick up a 501 to replace the 490.

I modified an Echo 400 18”, A041, to work on the 490.

where were you 30 pages ago when i was complaining about it? Yes, I quote form the manual
Mixing ratio
1:50 (2%) with HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil.
1:33 (3%) with oils class JASO FB or ISO EGB formulated
for air-cooled, two-stroke engines
for info, stihl red and green is jaso fb. So I'm now using 33:1...and will be regularly cleaning the spark arrestor on the ms180.

 

[Cowboy254]

Cheers Jeff, yes I ran a tank and a half actually and blocked, noodled and bucked a huge pile! Far far more than I expected to for so little fuel. I'm gonna need more wood.

Correct. Just remember .

For a long time, I had a bias against the 441. When I needed new tyres one time, the Stihl sales rep more or less caned the 441. Walked out with the 460 instead. Make no mistake, I have been delighted with the 460. Ever reliable and does great in Aussie hardwood with a 20in bar. But I realise that the 441 wasn't the lemon the rep made it out to be. IIRC, it was an m-tronic version and he didn't rate it.

Are you just using up the stihl oil then switching to husky oil?

Auction saleing again today. There is a $50 wood splitter sitting there beside the chipper. Bought a router and a bunch of bits for it too. And took my grandson, spilt yogurt and all with me. Already sold the blade and delivering it tomorrow morning. Chipper should go quick too. Might have to get that 441 soon.

Wonder what kind of material Stihl uses in their saws that allows them to run on 50:1 with their oil? Lol. Just kidding. I use Stihl and Husqvarna oil interchangeably depending on where I am geographically when I need oil. I run 50:1 no matter which oil in which saw. Including my poulan which calls for 40:1 and the ancient homelite that probably calls for 16:1 with 30w. If you’re worried about it, go get some husky oil and/or run 40:1 but 33:1 is too much oil in my opinion.

I beg of you, PLEASE NO! Don’t start another Oil controversy.
