Got your pm mate, that does not seem to bad .. But then what do I know! Get the vids up !!
-
You don't get really any warning with the app about pms no flashing in the top corner ... I've gone days without realising so I fail to see what your getting upset about! A head up is nice!
-
What was it reading Steve??
-
In terms of vibes definitely. Worked with a guy who runs a 440 mag on Monday and it was the first thing he commented on with 5 mins on a 576xp was in his exact words smoother!
-
I've only had to replace the clutch on my pretty modded 395 ,it does not seem to bother much else on it but it was the original !!and it's been used for milling hardwoods before and after modding which is probably harder on the running gear and seals /crank on a saw than any mods you could throw at it.
-
Noticed usually after about 12 /24 months depending on usage a change of the cam and especially the cam spring was necessary,but that was with the positioner 1. Have not had the 2 long enough to change anything yet or see if there's a difference in wear patterns but it's holding up well.

Have a fuel Wood splitter for sale will do both kindling and logs if your interested,send me a pm.

Looked a fun job.
-
I just brought a couple off eBay.
-
The handles are weak I've broken two once just starting it. The only way to not make it run like a gutless heap is mod the exhaust.
-
Glad you did check it !! Sorry I can only think I got distracted with rebuilding the starter assembly as it was mangled from the seizure...and was so pleased that I managed to scavenge the bits off broken units and not having to buy a new one in the excitement I over looked those... Good thing your so thorough mate !! Got to admit I'm really pleased it's ticking over!! Can't wait to see the vid of it in action.

Beautiful work,what did you use to finish the walnut table ?
-
Looks amazing timber, I take it that it's not from the conventional harvested butts? to get the root ball burr are the trees dug out whole or winched out? How do you not wreck saw blades cutting it?.
-
Must admit I was never impressed with the 372 in terms of reliability.
-
If you give it to spud a lot more goes on but for this little saw the DIY approach definitely works , I would love to see a ported one.
-
I must admit I have not adjusted the carb, the first one I modded was still a nice biscuit brown colour with no adjustment but rich is right I would definitely check to make sure it's not lean.
-
No worries lol.. Show them the vid and as tom says it's still quieter than any of the other saws on site after the mod.
-
That's the Lumberjacks I thought. Plenty of them in kielder..
-
Not sure, I figure that saws need some back pressure so would not want to over do the mod. From running 200ts when the early ones used to frequently crack exhausts I thought they lost a lot of power with to much pressure escaping. If some one wants to try I would be interested to see the results. I was lucky there raab you never know who's hiding in the forest, had a helicopter hovering for a good 5 mins the other night over the house, must of been checking for rouge tree surgeons with toppers on the ground.
-
Go for the 661 then if the 064 vibes gave you grief the 660 is pretty much the same saw.
-
That looks awsome mate I'm impressed it only took one attempt !!
-
Swarf should get blown straight out, you can hear it rattling if it's in there so obviously try not to tip the saw in a position it would go down the cylinder. Have done two like this now with no problems and great results 👍
-
No mate just drilled it on there obviously shaking out swarf before starting!

Think your right as I missed it completely !! -
That's pretty big wood got to say I would be tempted with an 880 3120 in that size timber.
