Throttle blipping habit

[LarryTheCableGuy]

got blip?

[Dennis Cahoon]

The only thing more bothersome is the apparel some cutters wear. Like once I saw this guy not only blipping, but also wearing milking boots and welding gloves, John

milking boots & welding gloves......Hahahahahahaha!

 

[SawTroll]

The right time would be right after coming out of a long sustained cut. I found this out the easy way at the factory. They had a 036 with a thermometer attached right to the top cover. A few blips would cause the temp to drop down quite fast but not a whole lot. Running on the edge though a few degrees could mean the differance between keep on sawing or ut oh.. .....

Fine my friend, that is what I do.......:rockn: :rockn:

 

[B_Turner]

Well I guess blipping is better than bog, recover, bog, recover, blip, blip blip :chainsawguy:

LOL This is what I often hear in these parts, unfortunately. Or a saw running steady for what seems like 5 minutes minutes. This is painful for me to hear, as I know their chain has never had an edge at all since it came out of the box.

I don't mind hearing blipping so much if it is intermixed with the sound of really fast cutting.

 

[timberwolf]

The bliping does not bug me, but the rocking rev-bog-rev-bog-rev-bog is hard on the ears. It's nearly as bad as the sound of a choked up stock muffler.

Put the two together and it is too painfull to stand.

bliping

Believe it or not a little blipping helps the saw cool down after a long cut. I know the type of guy your referring to and yes thats annoying. However after going through a long long cut a few blips helps that engine cool down abit. The only thing that cools the enigine is the flywheel and that fresh charge of fuel coming in the intake. Blipping doesn't amount to a lot but its proven to help some in cooling down a hard worked engine.

thalls right plus bliping helps keep the bar and chain lubed when you cut in dirty conditions. bliping in the pnw where pitchy trees can gumm up the the clutch and chain brake provides a way of slowing the gumming up from the pitch

The blipping drives me nuts too.

I once had some neighbors who had dirt bikes and boats and fast cars and the whole family had like this terminal case of the blips. I called it the VROOM VROOMS.

Whether it was a saw, a dirt bike, a car, an outboard engine running on the hose, a truck -- ANY INTERNAL COMBUSION ENGINE -- the throttle could NOT stay in one position for more than one second!

VROOM VROOM VROOOOOOOM VROOM VROOOOM VROM VROM VROM VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM VROOM VROOOOOOOM VROOM VROOM VROOOOOOOOOOOM VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM VROOM VROOOOOOOM VROOM VROM VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM VROOM VROOOOOOOM VROOM

Hour after hour, into the night, around the clock until you could hear it in your sleep.

I always wondered what their monthly budget was for throttle cables, throttle linkages, etc. That stuff had to wear out on a regular basis!

And spacey said he didnt blip :chainsawguy: Busted.....

I think I will refer to my style as a BLAP! rather than a blip. I do kinda understand the annoyance of the style some of you are refering to.
My best description is a productive BLAP!

I'm getting a visual on this and it isn't pretty,,,,, Throttle Blippin,,,,Chip gathering cause I hate getting chips in my boots or stuck in my socks,,,,

very annoying :bang: :bang:

Man those jacksticks in that video were quite the party crowd.

Someone needs to chlorinate the gene pool.

Then my saw doesn't run right. What do I do to fix it?

Come on guys, how do I get my saw to idle indefinitely?

 

[Mr.]

How distasteful to take a shot at someone's employment.

Almost as bad as a comment about one's lack of education and then going on saying that 20 years ago what you had to do to graduate high school was less than the test 9th graders pass today. And making it worse by pointing out that was why all the thirteen year olds seem more educated than you.

Terrble.

You tune it to. Just don't expect it to run worth a crap if you try to use it.

 

[NovaMan]

See, that's what I thought. If there are no leaks (and I assume there are none because it's only been about a year since I bought it from Andy), I might be able to tune it to idle forever by leaning the idle waaaay out, but then it would take forever and a day to respond to throttle input. I'll just blip it.

 

[beowulf343]

Don't like blipping either. Yet i do it now and then as a way to get my groundies' attention. They know i don't do it so when i do it they know something is up and they need to pay attention. In fact, it's kind of funny how attuned my groundies are to it-got my bar pinched in a nasty breakover last week and after freeing it, blipped it a couple times to make sure the chain was running smoothly. Out of the corner of my eye i see one of my groundies who is dragging brush drop his load, spin around and give me his full attention. Cool feeling! (Of course, got the bird after he realized nothing was wrong.)

Lots and lots of mixed fuel with adjoining fuel lines
and some thing to keep mixed up don't ask how I know

The Skinny

Gypo has offered some good advice by taking the speed screw in intel the chain starts to move, then adjusts the "L" for fastest chain speed and then reset the speed screw,,,,, give or take, just the skinny.

I think that is finding a good spot to start, depending on the engine, cold start acceleration maybe a little weak (stall sometimes, aka a saw that needs blipping) that would need a little fatter "L" then readjust the speed screw.

Easy to flood, or a vast change when the saw is tilted , puff of smoke on acceleration, that is too rich.

The real skinny on the skinny, if the "L" goes in, and the speed screw goes out, or the "L" goes out and the speed screw goes in, to seem right, your close.

Best thing about saws, if you like to tune things,,,, saws always need tuning!

I was wondering when somebody come up with this excuse... Which is a very good one. As a groundy, I never fire up a saw unless I ask the person in the tree first, it's impossible to hear him start his saw if you're wearing hearing protection and running a saw on the ground too. When I hear the saw start in the tree I drop everything too, and go to a neutral corner. I try to only use a hand saw on the ground so I can hear whats going on in the tree.
