The official CT Autumn GTG (07 November 2015)

Btw Randy the 262 didn't disappoint Saturday. Ran it at about 14000 to be a little conservative. Bucked up a few logs for Dan and put an edge on it to race drf255 but out of logs and the day was over. Next time!

Next time I'm flying Randy up here. Mark your calendar mastermind... I've got airline miles to burn and a place for you to stay.

That would be too cool.

 

[malk315]

We'll see what magic we can make happen for the next one. I think the attendance would go up even more if the boys knew Mastermind may make an appearance! A photo of you and all saws wearing MMWS stickers would certainly be in order!

A celebrity appearance!!! Funny, I was thinking we should have flown him up also, a lot of his shirts & saws were there.

And yes, I am still talking about the good time we all had, was really nice.

Unfortunately, with a much bigger crowd, it would be a lot less personal.

What was real nice about this one, is with about 15 people, everyone got to meet and talk to everyone else, no one got lost in the crowd. Everyone's contribution to the event was noticed and appreciated. That said, I would really like the opportunity to meet Randy in person.

 

[Boozer]

Good idea Eric! I will kick in too! Get him up to our neck of the woods!

 

[Mastermind]

I wish you fellers could see this little shack I work out of. Celebrity appearance my hind end.

 

[MustangMike]

Hey didn't you just build a new shack err, I mean workshop, last year!!! (and the former carpenter claims to work out of a shack!!!)

 

[Mastermind]

It's not finished.........just got it dried in. No time.

 

[redray46]

An air filter with a hole, and outboard oil? Sonds like you are doing your best to kill the saws?

I just took a Stihl 032 down off the shelf,that I bought new in about 1982,put new fuel lines,a carb kit and gave it a good cleaning to.Pulled the muffler and checked the P&C,looked great,blowing 145 PSI,all it ever saw was TCW2&3 OUTBOARD OIL!!I still buy gallons of it,for the boat, and use it when I need to in my saws!!1

I can vouch for the monkey. That shop is so small it takes one person walking outside so the other one can turn around. Lots of miracles happen in such a small spot. Lol

Yes, I believe Randy has stated its just 200 square feet. That's about the size of a parking space for your car. All I can think is it must smell terrible if you fart in there- like Dutch ovening yourself.

 

[Fishinfreak99]

Them is some Perty good size boys in there, don't know for sure about the smell but you know it's gotta get right in there in the winter time with the heat going.

 

[Boozer]

Working on my starting procedure for next year.

Eat boiled eggs and beans..........make Jon puke.

No wonder half the saws that come out of that shack are a funky color! Oh wait... You mean Stihl makes them like that? Lols.

An air filter with a hole, and outboard oil? Sounds like you are doing your best to kill the saws?

not sure how outboard oil would kill a saw...

VERY sure how a hole in a filter would .... I have NO IDEA how that hole got there though. yesterday, checked the comp on that 262 cold... 195. didn't end up taking it apart. ran it/started it this AM... very zippy.

told the guy that owns it to run it like he stole it... if something happens, i'll fix it

whats interesting to me is that I built the saw to MM's specs... yet he's still getting 20% or more out of the saw above the one I built. Malk's mmws 262 did a 17 sec cut through oak, mine was 20 seconds or so. rough count. so clearly there is some extra secret sauce to what MM does. not sure cutting squish band helps by 20% ... but maybe it does... maybe its the extra neatness of porting and polishing beyond what I am capable of...

at the end of the day, i'm happy to know that mine does run, as MM's saw is faster... as it should be. all is right with the world as of right now

Any difference in the muffler mods?

 

[Mattyo]

maybe, mine just has the usual exhaust opened up and retains the original spark screen...

 

[MustangMike]

I also think Erik is meticulous with his chain sharpening, that alone could do it. Then again, I also think Randy is meticulous with his porting, so ... perhaps a combination of several small things, the muff mod, the chain, the porting, etc.

As long as yours runs great, it does not matter if another one is a bit faster.

......

As I understand it, if has to do with water cooled vs. air cooled engines, but I don't know the details.
