You Ohioans get off your !@#es and produce! Get that bum away from Mickey and friends and start thinking and grinding and cutting. Strato saws, WTH! You, and espescially him, know better than that.
Ed, I don't think you want to tinker with yours until somebody beats you. And I would LOVE to see that.
And there was no carb on it. You're imagining things. Its multipoint fuel injection, thats how he got the power.
A freaking strato. WTF
BTW, I just seen (remember back when they were just junk) who started this thread. I think we all been taken down a freshly paved road to Ed's house of Chainsaw pain...STILL, WAS A GREAT TRIP.

:agree2:
I would like to see it just Wild Things for the simple reason of the reputation they have here. I think a lot of the bad rap starts from the fact that they are purple. In the past few weeks I hit a lot of garage sales around here, and found mostly Wild Thangs averaging $10-20. I was trying to find a use for these saws and thought of this race thing. The thought of a bunch of grown men racing purple chainsaws is what I thought would be funny/ridiculous. Plus it may get some more members to participate in GTG's. I absolutely never expect any of my saws to ever win a race, I simply don't have the money, time or knowledge to make a winner. For me its the fun of trying... win or loose. Meeting members and becoming friends is the real reward. I would say try to find a Wild Thang (or different Craftsman color version).... but if you show up with an off brand, have fun and race it anyway.
LOL... I will let everybody else decide on it. I kinda made this thread out of aggravation.... meaning all I ever see at garage/yard sales are these W/T's cheap. I was just trying to find a use for them. Honestly, I would have have as much fun racing these saws as I would a 70cc pro saw. Watching members here racing Purple Piped Poulans, I believe would be a hoot. I guarantee I will never stand chance against saws others here will build, but I can care less... for me its all about fun, not winning. I never gave the video thing a thought, I just figured I would use it at the few gtg's I can make it to each year, providing others would play.
Couple of quote for you guys to read...LOL

Yes, but Ed's Wild Thing is giving up some serious displacement to your 441...LOL...
I think you are in the wrong thread WK...:hmm3grin2orange:
My 2375 should be there when I get home from vacation next week. Yes, I'm gunning for Ed
Even if I don't catch him, it'll sure be fun trying

What displacement is your 2375? They are made in several.
Didn't know that. I haven't seen it yet. All I know is that it's a 2375 Wildthing.

I have one in 36cc, and another in 42cc. I've seen one in Craftsman colors that had a 38cc tag on it.

Have you ever measured the piston and compared #'s...That is one of the reason the class action law suit was file last year...Supposedly the saws were all the saw, just rebadgd w/ different displacements...:dunno:
Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure what it is before I invest any time into it. I've heard of Poulans with larger than advertised engines, but not the other way around.

Are you sure? There was a special model 36cc (2150?) saw made with the purple and green that looked kinda like a wild thing but was not called that.

Yes I have Sean. The 42cc has a 41mm piston and the 36cc has a 38mm piston.

Did some testing last night, 35cc saws like the 3/8 lo pro, 42-45cc saws can handle the .325 pretty well. My 021 bogged with little load and 16" .325 chain maybe the chain was too hungry. It just too much for the 35cc saw to handle, but ran great w/ 14" and 3/8 lo pro.

Yes Sir, I have one of each. Both 2375 and two different displacements. The 36cc has a black top cover and the 42cc is green.
