Wildthing Races at GTG's.....

[redprospector]

I know enough about you to know that it wouldn't be posted here if it wasn't right!

Hahaha. Ok, I just love my Wild Thang and couldn't resist posting in the Wild Thing Races thread. I resisted as long as I could, but I kept seeing it and the temptation was too great.

So what are the differences with all these wild things, I see 2375, 2375LE, 4018, 4218, 1840, 1842. I got a 2375LE and it's advertised as 40cc, but the name plate lists it as Engine Family .424CCM

 

[blsnelling]

The 2375 Wild Thing is traditionally ported. The 4018 Wild Thing is stratofied.

What is the bore and stroke on these bad boys?...

I picked up a 2375 that had the wrap handle broken when it was fairly new. More fun........................

The 2375's seem to port well, have fun.

It doesn't look like my last post got too much attention.....so.....I'll post it again with the orginal post this time.

Here's a thead I started about the WILDTHING a while back. FWIW

I dare....no...double dare:jawdrop: someone to.....buy a Wildthing new make sure to use proper fuel mix in it tune the carb, and see how long it lasts.

Any takers?

It looks like we're doing this! Well....they're not new....but.

Man, taking vacation has got me behind the 8 ball with you guys!

I still have not got a saw yet. I did remember that I do have this one.

This 2500 should work right? With its very minor muffler mod it outruns a 025 already (I know, not saying much) but I think I can find a little more in it if I get the time to tear into it.

I still want to find a purple and green one though.

 

[Modifiedmark]

What size is the 2500? The Wild Thing I have is 42cc. I notice that the new ones are 40cc. How many different sizes did they make these things?

40cc I think. This is actually a different style then the WT but it is still a clamshell saw.

Ok, so I did a little bit of work on this 2500 and it seems ok, can I play now?

Hope this video works. 16" bar with a out of the box WP chain cutting some dry maple. I cut the pin oak above also and it cut just about as fast.

What size wood will we be cutting? I think I have some 12" and 14" bars to mess with instead of this 16".

 

[Arrowhead]

Looks good Mark! OhioGreg made some great looking 8x8's for the GTG.

 

[barneyrb]

Just a heads up...Northern Tool has the Wild Thing, not an imitation, the genuine product on sale for $94. It will be a re-manufactured unit but for a c-note you are in the house for the upcoming races.

You sir are completly corrrect and bring up a good point. Thats why I posted it here first but rest assured this one is a 2500 at 40cc.

 

[Saw Dr.]

What's to stop a guy from putting a 2900 in a wildthing? Hmmmm, I wonder if I could stuff that PM-850 clamshell engine I have into the Husky 36 chassis...... maybe I should change from Saw Dr to Dr Sawenstein. Just kidding.

Now you guys got me thinking about trading the guy I just sold the Craftsman 40cc for the husky 36 I'm putting back together.

 

[Mastermind]

I got a husky 41 setting here....................I wonder...
