Always adjust your chain when it's cold, if you run it and it stretches way out then adjust it to keep using it but you should leave it a little loose when you put it away then readjust it before you go cutting again, on a 36 inch bar it might hang a little bit but it shouldn't hang lower than the bar groove.

Man it's been awful quiet in here, how was everybody's weekend?

Had to go to work at the dealership Saturday, after that I went to the farm to work. Check for down trees in the creek, got 7 to get out. Found a cow dead, dug a put to put it in, cousin never showed up with the cow, he hauled it back to his place, misunderstanding on three way communication. Oh well, got pit ready when he needs it. He said he believes a rattlesnake may have bitten it.

Tested out the 250 again yesterday, still needs some carb work. Didn't work well at all. Then I took the 361 and ran a couple of tanks through it. It really made me smile once again. It really doesn't feel like a 60cc class saw. After running it yesterday a 660 kit is so coming next. It bucked those 30"+ logs with gusto. Did get some footage, but haven't looked at any of it yet. At work yet lol.

What did you make your grommet out of for your Mac?

That don't don't look like a Poulan 361, too much gray on it, or is that Stihl camo paint.

Out of a couple layers of EPDM and contact adhesive. Works ok, but I have to make a better one at some point in the future. Holes don't line up and the EPDM wasn't prepped properly so the glue is failing.

Brake shoe backing plug wouldn't fit?

Send me one so I can finally have a 361 then! And I never did check if a break plug would fit. This was with stuff on hand and besides the hole is pretty large. Really didn't think that the plug would do it.

Next time you go shopping, park next to a 1 ton Chevy dually, slid under, pop off plug and do a fast test fit then pop it back on.

Pitch a kids toy under there so you'll have a good excuse in case someone ask what you're doing under there.

Coming alone, had to put the cover on to see how it looked.

I'm curious how they used to paint saws cause some places never had paint on it. Did they paint the screw heads and then install them or what, cause the screws aren't stuck to the cases or any other part like the would if they had been installed before painting.

I'm the kind of stupid around large trucks I couldn't just do my business and skedaddle. I would be under there ogling away, even more so if it was a squarebody chev. Crew cab, 1 ton, long bed, light blue or black, preferably a western hauler edition, wouldn't mind a bit if that showed up in my drive. Getting off on a tangent, but squarebodies are so cool! Really want to find one and fix it up, but that probably wont be until I'm out of school at the least, that is unless I make it a daily driver .

Spent the weekend at the beach mostly... I said goodbye to a CS-440 in trade for this.

Hi All.
I'm new to the group so please be a little patient with me. I have three chainsaws here. My "big-bertha" is a Danarm Whipper. a superb 1957 J.A.P.-Engined monster. and then there are the pioneer and the Danarm 1-36.

Does anyone else here have a pioneer 3071? Mine has ignition problems at the moment...

Many thanks, Chat soon....
