It just means it's .050 thousandths

So do you guys have any chain preferences, I know Oregon is a go to, but I just wanted to check.

 

[astnmacgto]

I hear carlton is good, obviously stihl and oregon. I run oregon full chisel cause its free

 

[Boomer 87]

Cant go wrong with oregon, carltons good too, stihls good. Ill run just about anything thats sharp dont make much difference to me i do prefer chisel over chipper tho, faster cutting

 

[Kensie1988]

So I spoke too soon, my thunder club crapped out on me again

 

[Boomer 87]

What happened

 

[Kensie1988]

Now it runs on choke and dies off choke

 

[Kensie1988]

I also couldn't get the clutch off the nut was frozen even after hitting it with PB blaster so I decided to leave the nut sitting in PB blaster all night, check this enginuity out haha

 

[Boomer 87]

I like it lol. If that dont work take out the sparkplug then push a bunch of its recoil rope down into the cylinder then rotate engine untill it locks up on the rope then you can bust it loose.

 

[Boomer 87]

If it runs on choke only its not pulling enough fuel, did you rebuild the carb?

 

[Kensie1988]

I tried that and the piston kept shearing whatever I put down in there haha

 

[Boomer 87]

Uhhh.... bc i dont remember double check that its not left hand threads on there(clutch).

 

[Boomer 87]

Honestly i use my 3/8 air impact, but ive used it enough to know when to stop

 

[Kensie1988]

I thought all clutches were right handed? But I will see if I can find anything on it, I know it didn't budge when Inwast trying to break it over right handed

 

[Kensie1988]

If it runs on choke only its not pulling enough fuel, did you rebuild the carb?

And I did rebuild the carb but I didn't replace the needle and seat

 

[Boomer 87]

Might of sucked something up from the tank Partially blocking the inlet

I worked on making some chains tonight and I put a new rope in one of the mac 10-10's that I got earlier this week, I haven't counted recently but I think I'm up to about 8 different 10-10 models

 

[Kensie1988]

I'll probably go though it again once I get some more time.

 

[Kensie1988]

Haha, that's a lot of 10-10s
