Muffler modding MS361?

[GardenKit]

Does not seem that light hearted when its multiple quotes and half a page long, though.

Whats WOT and by 4stroking do you mean the sound like a 4stroke engine hitting the limiter and bouncing back and forth on the limiter?

glad some one else asked so i didnt sound dumb

WOT = wide open throttle.

 

Watch the video posted on here- it's an excellent example.

WOT= Wide open throttle with no load.

 

4stroking= Mixture is too rich to ignite every stroke so misfires. Result is a constant burbling sound. Not the same as the surging you get when a 4 stroke hits the limiter and the choke gets opened.

 

In my opinion this is a pretty good explanation;

What is the point of this except to stir up trouble?

The only someone you are referring to is me. I have never explicitly claimed to have more experience than you so you must have inferred that from reading my posts. You are the self proclaimed "expert".

I objected to the rules that were unclear, with my interpretation being advertising was not allowed in posts unless the poster was a sponsor. It has been clarified and a decision made that I will respect.

By contradiction I assume you are referring to when you claimed to know "exactly" how carbs work. Thinking that was quite a bold declaration I responded with a couple of relatively simple questions to test that statement. Your response was incorrect. When notified your resonse was that you had trouble differentiating between red and blue. You were under no obligation to answer the questions put forward. Your asking for a prize implied you had little doubt about your answers, so in my opinion undermined the authenticity of the medical excuse.

 

Who's hiding?

 

With regards to tuning the modded saw, a test log imo is best. Listen carefully for the difference in noise of the engine in and out of the wood. You want the saw to fourstroke at WOT and clear up under load. Depending on the application you may want it to still fourstroke under self feeding but clear up under a heavier load. A tach is of little use as factory specs will no longer be applicable.

 

Well I have slept on it now and feel ready to step up to the breech again

 

“What is the point of this except to stir up trouble?” That’s rich coming from you, you seem to spend all your time following me round the forum trying to undermine my advice. Don’t deny it, I may act stupid at times but it doesn’t mean I am.

 

“I have never explicitly claimed to have more experience than you so you must have inferred that from reading my posts. You are the self proclaimed "expert".” No, not explicitly but you have niggled and had a pop at a large percentage of my posts – “Self proclaimed” – I think you are mixing this up with happy customers with fixed machines and thankful owners that have had useful advice…FREE advice from forum & friendship – isn’t that what a Forum is all about???If you look at many of the posts, it is actually others recommending me, NOT the other way round!

 

I gauge success as turning a saw from a non runner in to a runner at a minimal cost to the customer and the customer coming back again 6 months later as they were happy with the job. I have no manufacturer to back me up with a database, parts lists, service manuals etc but have managed to fix everything that has come in even with my meager resources.

 

“Who's hiding?” In the past we have all had the abusive phone conversations and e-mails etc but don’t see too many people queuing up to do it face to face!

 

“With regards to tuning the modded saw, ……..A tach is of little use as factory specs will no longer be applicable.” Nearly correct but …..whatever! BTW - I recognise the line from Arboristsite!

 

Yesterday I was all for throwing in the towel on this site but I think that perhaps this isn’t what others would want and it isn’t what the Forum is about, the dealer kicking the man in the shed out!

 

So – that is it as far as I am concerned, from now on I will ignore your little digs and throw away comments, don’t even bother answering this, I am not interested and have nothing to say to you, I am too busy to bother with you and your rhetoric.

Gents, I respectfully ask that this form of "banter" ceases, it doesn't read well, it degrades the forum and I for one don't like it. Thank you.
