Your post got me thinking about the dust or chips thing and I never did get that one and still don't! haha... A chainsaw is a cutting tool is it sharp? dull /rocked out? need a rub?:confused: ****ed if I know better look at the chips to find out? haha..
Makes me wonder how a butcher knows if his knives are sharp? maybe you ask for a T-bone and he hands you a bag of mince? along with a ****ed if I know whats going on look haha, or your soon to be wife goes to pick up her wedding dress and the Seamstress hands her a bag of rags and says sorry about that I didn't know my scissors were blunt? :crazy2: ....

????um I think them XXXX's were working well last night to come up with an assumption like that.
I do see the point tho, carry on.

Well well well Matt, no notifications gives you tonnes of reading to catch up on.....
Here's a roundup of what you've missed......
We have a new engine builder on the block (chippy)
Vince's tachometer battery's went flat, tryin to keep up with the 35,000rpm ozito.
"Rogue" has a beaut sounding saw running your favourite chain "404 not cutty cutty "
Neil is flat out destroying white ants homes.
Will is upto NO Good!;)
I'm sick of working.
John is.... Well just John
Snowy is camouflaging his saws"cause they're that awful orange n white colour"
And the professionals amongst us are still building Chinese hot saws !
Ya didn't miss much at all really!;););)

Well that sums things up.


Someone revisited one of bobbies old threads last night(came up in my alerts) so I had a re read, still get a little chuckle from it.

he could certainly get attention and keep it going , I will give him that.
 
Count me in for a stubby holder. Make that two.
As far as forward facing exhaust ports on a work saw I think some of the US builders need to run saws in the middle of our summer in big hardwoods logs in sustained cuts. Keep a fire extinguisher handy :) I've caught bark alight dozens of times even with stock exhausts.

Matt, drilling the second extra hole in the front of the exhaust port will be fine.

The bar I am using on it I bought it from you and it prefers to cut sideways and around corners and is not straight enough to cut anything that's in front of the saw.

I'm not some backyard redneck porter you know.

PS. Send me those 029 Supers to spruce up....seals just add friction and slow a saw down.....I'm developing a new system that completely eliminates the need for those seals. I'll be using a combination of high tech homeopathic and magnetic resonance solutions
 
Well after up teen dozen attempts to tune these saws I bloody well give up.

The clamp meter decided to jump around too much and appeared generally to give me an okay reading but couldn't be sure...


They sound alright to me the 461 doing a bit over 13,000 rpm wot....bit over 2 turns out on the h

The 029 super have given half a turn more out on the h

I suspect they are a tad rich and will check the plugs by wot and the killing the saw in the cut and see how they look now...

Vince...I reckon I'm going to need that Tacho...
 
The past 2 wk ends I've come across 2 very poorly installed carby kits, now today I find a bodgy crank seal.
It's the clutch side of a little Stihl 028.
The seal has a small dent in the main body, causing the rubber lip of the seal to pull away from the crank.
There is some bogus repairs goin on round the traps!!image.jpg
 
surely you jest chippy it ain't that hard

The 029 was easy...I could hear it go into a run lean situation and I could bring it back easy and into too rich and set it spot on.

The 461 with the Rev limiter doesn't work like that.....no lean run situation by sound.......I hate tuning this saw....I need the Rev limiter gone or a decent reliable tacho so I know exactly what revs I'm tuning it to......

I'm old skool and rev limiters are too high tech for me....

Off to find something else to drill a hole in......

Looks like it might have been installed with a bent drill bit...

Wasn't me, honest..
