The official CT Autumn GTG (07 November 2015)

Very informative! I am going to be doing a new P and C on my 350 soon so will refer back to this prior to ordering parts.

The 5 saw comparison is coming up soon, so i'll have more data to share after that... couple weeks until the gtg's.

So are these ported similarly to showcase which jug works best, or are there other variables?

 

[Mattyo]

these are ported similarly ... the idea was to port them as similar as possible to see if there is any difference in jugs or not. whether the cheap jugs are just cheap, or oem is really better ...by how much...etc.

I really tried to keep them similar. the saws look different due to the plastics being odd, but they will be run at the gtg by one person, not knowing what saw has what jug. ...all with brandy new chains

there are plenty of variables to the test, which does make this somewhat less scientific, but hopefully we can glean some information from such a test. my hyway saw that was run last year has seen quite a bit of action since last years gtg... but ... I just put a new ring in it for the test...

I will discuss the confounders at the gtg after the saws are run.

Just got up from a nap. So screwed up from time change. Bringing fast tach. Also Mike Manley (homelite410) chain vise. Gotta go sharpen everything. Murder 346 pull cord about to break... Maybe someone has pull cord we can change? I don't work on saws much hoping to learn a few things. Someday hoping to get into a project saw.

Will get going early tomorrow and see you all there. Coffee will be essential!

Can you give me contact info for Mike Manley?
