    true enough, but a carbs setting is specific to what bar and chain combo it was tuned to... a saw tuned to perfection with a 36" bar will be revving faster if its then setup with a 15" bar (as the saw is fighting less friction and mass). check your saws with a tach if changing the bar length radically... heck, check the tune of your saws regularly anyway, plug colour at the very least... they'll thank you for it

    i certainly wouldnt but it seems someone has! i would charge them 300 to cut it up, then get a firewood guy to pick it all up and pay me for the privilege:thumbup1:
  3. tree_beard
    linke regular chain but with a third less cutters... good for running longer bars on smaller saws, and for longer bars in softwood as you get better chip clearance out of the kerf. available from all your favourite chain manufacturers, just not on the european market:thumbdown:

    quickthorn- i mis-read your post, if you know the bar has been shortened then, thats why it takes a few links less, it would originally have been a modern 68link powermatch bar. possibly modded to allow the use of a bigger 9pin sprocket:confused1:

    naah, 2 guys one with a couple of saws to ring it all up, one with a truck/trailer loading and carting away, bonfire... days work. plenty of weekend firewood merchant types would happily do it

    bar length is a funny old thing... oregon make a number of different 18" bars and they are all a slightly different length. i have a few 18" small mount husky bars(262xp size) ranging from about 16 1/2"-18 1/25"... the 18"ers oregon make for dolmar tend to be shorter than the husky ones... or yours could have been cut down, it should be pretty obvious, post a pic if youre not sure
  7. tree_beard
    couldnt tell you, i was sure someone on here would have one, there are/were alot of that series husky about... and i'd rather re-cycle old saw bits, on the old franken-saw i'm re-building... and free is always good:001_tongue:

    thanks bob, very kind:thumbup1:

    harsh mate:thumbdown: last thing you need in the middle of the night is a load of bullocks to deal with...

    the 7900 was always a bit too 'blue' for me.... never felt right (might get a proper orange one one-day) where-as i fell in love with the character of the 288 straight away...if that doesnt sound too gay:001_rolleyes: done a bit of milling, need to have a go knocking up some benches for a client, but have been mad busy recently, need to make more time for it. you keeping busy? doing much cutting this year?
  13. tree_beard
    thats a damn quick saw... yours are looking very tidy as well:thumbup1: sold my 7900, replaced with a 288xp, decided i prefer the old-school charm in bigger saws... and have recently aquired a 257 (which will likely become a 262xp before too long:001_smile:) no ported saws as of yet good to see you on here
  14. tree_beard
    hey tommy:wavey: hows tricks?

    tree_beard posted a topic in Fungi Pictures

    i dont really do fungi... but you've gotta start somewhere, so... here's something i saw on the way home this afternoon. (oppologies for the poor quality) looks like a classic case of 'some sort of fungi' to me:blushing:... anyone care to elaborate? cheers
  17. tree_beard
    a doug fir i came across on the way home from a job today... not really seen anything else substantial, damage wise
  18. tree_beard
    how much will one of them set you back? i'm thinking mucho moolah fully kitted up they certainly look like a handy tool, and if you get one, i might be able to throw a bit of work your way in the future... if it was my money i'd probably look at an alpine tractor or alstor forwarder, but then, its not my money, and is unlikely to be for the forseable future:001_tongue:
  19. tree_beard
    too true, not something you want to experiment with (on your own saws) i'm a dino-oil man to the end, its always done its job well, and the smell, a slight blue haze in the air and greasy face at the end of a long day is all part of the fun
  20. tree_beard
    fairy nuff deano, good experiment... ..curious, do you reckon (what with the superior lubrication of castor) a leaner mix would have worked without causing the excess carbon build-up? i know there are some new fangled 2-stroke oils that claim 100:1 is all that is needed (amisoil rings a bell)
  21. tree_beard
    quite so, kudos for giving people the choice of both:thumbup1: and thanks for the extra info about the windor-oregon connection. i was confusing what i had heard about recent GB chain with windsor:blushing:
  22. tree_beard

    choke chains?

    tree_beard replied to _tc's topic in General chat

    clark do logging chain, hooks, etc or you could use steel cable with an eye at each end..
  23. tree_beard
    owned by oregon for the last couple of years or so... bars are pretty good, on par with oregon i'd say. chain used to be ok, but may well be cheap chinese junk these days (like current GB chain) not sure tho... edit: if clarke's say the chain is still good, then its good:thumbup1:
  24. tree_beard
    just as reliable as a 192 i would think... as the 192 is a cheaper-plasic clam-shell design, not a mag crankcased pro saw like the ms200/t... the 192 is a dog to work on as well, more fiddly=more time/cash for a tech to do even relatively simple jobs. there is a shiny 200t in the classifieds section...
  25. tree_beard
    torque is good:thumbup1: rpm's are ok, but its nice to be able to lean on a saw. the new stratocharged engines are meant to be torquier than the equivelent displacement 2-smokers, and easier on fuel... lots of people werent happy with the 575xp tho, thus the 576xp less than a year later, seems to be a problem free saw now. however... a new strat engined 372xp should be here within the next 12 months, to satisfy the legion of die-hard fans that dont want to move on, while covering future emissions legislation BS
