Hutzl 361 waiting on a crankcase gasket, and a mercury 4hp outboard. Wrong season for the outboard, I know, but I actually want to use it this summer. Lol

Did the soda can trick work?

I wasn't able to get to it last night, I might be able to get to it today, but it might have to wait until next week.

This question has been raised before, however not on this post............out of the saws you have which is the loudest/best sounding?

Ill go first the loudest by far is my poulan model 71 just has a port extension, actually can look in and see the piston while its moving!

Best sounding is my 5200 countervibe big cube saw with a 1" outlet it is perfect. you can feel the ground vibrating around it

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Loudest and best sounding would have to go to the ol' stock Craftsman 2.3. It hardly has any muffler either, more to keep sawdust out than anything else. However now that I did the muffler mod on the 017 that may actually be louder. It's hard to tell.

 

[Kensie1988]

At this point my loudest would have to be the C-5 currently, sounds like a mini hand held go kart with the little stack muffler it has.

As for the best sounding, to me it would be a toss up between the dual port on that Stihl 056 or the deep throaty sound of that Dayton

 

[Kensie1988]

I haven't heard the Jonsered 70E yet so I am looking forward to that.

 

[LonestarStihl]

Well I don't have any older runners so my loudest and best sounding is my ms660. Once she gets a dual port and woods port I think it'll sound even better

Clearly none of you have run a 10 series mac. Those are Loud as hell. My favorite would have to be my 7-10a at idle.

I wouldn't mind running a Mac. I'd like to get my hands on a SP70

It's looking real good! I love how handles look after being burned, adds that aged look to it. Isn't it missing a head though?

 

[Kensie1988]

Yea, I'm going to set the head when I am done with the sealing process, I don't want to get any sealer on the head.

I know im gonna catch a bunch of flak, but since my double bit is going to start going with me firewood cutting im probly just gonna put one of the yellow poly handles on mine bc the first time i miss and bash a nice wooden handle im gonna be chapped

Checking in---Went to ag John Deere dealer/stihl dealer. Bought 7/32 chain files stihl brand at $4.00 a peice--not to bad I thought--got 1 nice plastic file handle also. I noticed they had a Stihl liquid carbon remover. Put piston at top and fill with liquid through plug hole--let it set 24 hours and dump out. Must be good stuff--Said it could damage your kidneys and bone marrow. $4. 00 a bottle-may get me some. Looking foward to using better swiss made files. Going over mcculloch 1-41..Got compression--got spark-needs carb kit----While priming and trying to crank it found out it will kick like a mule on the pull cord/jerk your hand off--that thing will hurt you--I just kept trying anyway. Gas tank has a black coating like paint . Really clean-no corrossion or any thing.Cold-rainy here but I have power!!! There is big wood piled up every where here--wish I had a mill.

 

[46 Poulan]

Boomer--don't get chapped--I also have started looking at axes as something new to collect -restore from the logging stuff--dad has a old fire axe and I think it should be well made. I have a small version of it. I wonder if it might be a salesmans sample.

 

[Boomer 87]

I have a double bit, diamond edge is the brand but i want to use the yellow plastic handle bc mines gonna be a worker not just for show. I do want one for show as well though

 

[46 Poulan]

Yall asking about the loudest saw-- I have run mac 10-10,homelite xl-12, old sears with stack muffler. old poulans-no muffler etc.etc.etc. For some reason and maybe my ears were not working right but I started my homelite 330 with muffler and it seemed like the loudest saw I have. I was suprised.

A Mcculloch super 250 that's getting new points and condenser and a fuel tank cleanout and a stihl 056 that needs timing set and put back together
