Thumbs up to Moody

[Sierradmax]

I sent a project Husky 261 with a 262xp top end to Moody for some of his magic. I know I could have used other saw builders but I'm happy with the work Moody did to the 261. Besides, it wasn't a $1000 saw. I had $100 into it at the time, Moody had gotten one or two commended reviews, and I figured what the hell. From now on, I have trust with his hands on any of my saws.

Through E-mail & P.M. correspondence, he gained my trust and I shipped the saw out to him. The saw took a little longer than expected but that's another story, which has been covered. Our agreement was for his price, to port, cut squish band & base and throw in a 262xp clutch. Done deal...

I received the saw a couple weeks ago and didn't have time to look at it until last night. I pulled the muffler & carb off. His work on the intake & exhaust ports are very clean. I didn't pull the cylinder off so I'll trust with judgement that the transfers are just as the same. I put everything back together, fueled up with non-ethanol 40:1, sputtered w/ choke on with 2nd pull. Choke off, she fire immediately. Idled very well, considerably louder than expected; dual port muffler must add to the effect. It was getting late (8:30pm) and I made a quick test cut on a 16" red oak. Previously, I only used a 346xp & a 395xpg. I have a feeling the 395xpg will be seeing more shelf-time.

I hope to put some hours on it this weekend and look forward to breaking it in.

Good to see you like the saw. It's even better that you're getting to use it now

I appreciate your business so if you have any questions or concerns let me know.

I didn't get a video of this saw.

Hopefully the OP can get us one.

OUCH, I got a dislike

 

[HuskStihl]

Don't worry, I get a lot of dislikes. They sting for a few hours, then as soon as they are off the "alert list" you start to feel better about it. They are usually from people with no sense of humor, or people whose posts you feel like "disliking" yourself if you were into that sort of thing

Moody putting a Stihl to the test.

If it were up to me the dislike would be removed asap. No need for that. Just creates hard feelings and sparks a fight.

[Sierradmax]

We need either a box of tissues or boxing gloves in this forum.

 

[chadihman]

I ment to say take the dislike icon away.

 

[mainewoods]

You shoulda used a "smiley face" instead of a "butt kick". See!!

 

[chadihman]

Great work Moody! I hope all is well with you and your back on track. Experience is everything. Your getting there. I need to get some more under my belt.

Sorry, I thought it was clear that I was joking, apparently it was not

 

[boxygen]

Its all good, this is just AS getting back to its normal self after a few months of being screwed up. Its getting cold out, that means its going to get rowdy in here!

 

[exSW]

I may have to reconsider my position,He's wearing a Royals shirt in that picture.Some things just can't be forgiven.....................and yes that's a joke.

 

[mainewoods]

Any man brave enough to wear a Royal's shirt is OK in my book.
