if its only two months old, get it fixed on warranty.... you would know with a quick glance at a 100yards whether it was a fake or not... there are exact chi-com replicas of the stihl 038 and 070, other than that they look like fisher-price saws that someone has gone to town on with a shoddily made stihl stencil and a can of orange paint.

or wait for the new x-torq engined 372xp....

husqvarna (outdoor equipment, not the sewing machines etc) has been seperate from electrolux for a number of years. the husky corp own mcculloch as of last year, they also baught zenoah (redmax) at the same time and some other bits and bobs. they have owned partner, jonsered and poulan for some time. all hail the big orange, and all who sail in her..... or summit
-
051- no brake 075- surging revs, possibly an air leak all three saws run about 3000-5000rpm slower than modern saws, but all have excellent torque, very different to saws these days, but pretty much bulletproof

yeah, replaced all the leather on my pair when i got em...but reckon the gaffs themselves will outlive me... the best things in life are free:001_smile:

cammed grabs like on your steelcore work fine on 1/2" rope as well... summit like this...ISC Mini Rope Clamp i actually prefer a grab on a rope lanyard, and a prussic and pulley on a steelcore

sweet, looking good mate.... now it just needs a bit of sign wrirting.... 'stevies front mount chipper, available for chipping'
-
a bit of fun, i might even persue a career in this tree-climbing malarky:wink:
-
the 051 is 89cc, and not quick, but very torquey. you could pull a 36" bar but it would be slow, a 30" bar would probably be best.

the best transit tipper.... is made by ldv

congratulations mate:thumbup:

pretty much exactly the same saw as the latest edition of the 338xpt.... but prettier, because its red and black:001_smile:

if you alter your exhaust port in any way make sure you check what rpms you are turning afterwards with a decent tachometer. chances are you will have increased the rpms and will need to richen up the H screw a bit or risk burning up your top-end. a general rule of thumb to get best gains, is to enlarge the muffler opening to 75% of the area of the cylinder exhaust port. and really a drilled hole is not ideal, a tube should be welded into the extra or enlarged hole you have created... visit http://www.arboristsite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9 the chainsaw forum on arboristsite for all the info and advice you will ever need on muffler modding
-
there should be a screw underneath the handle that keeps the top half of the handle attached... illustrated parts list is available on the redmax parts lookup site (in the u.s komatsu zenoah are branded redmax) Illustrated Parts Lookup [internet] ....search for G621AVS
-
that explains alot... mufflers dont stay standard for long in the pacific north west, i'm assuming you get full wrap handles, big dawgs and high-top air filters as well all sadly rarities in this neck of the woods
-
the american huskies are the same as the euro huskies, except that some smaller models in the u.s often come standard with a cat muffler (and suffer performance wise) most u.s 346xp's come with the cat.
-
of pro construction 50cc saws the 346xp is imho the best hands down. very smooth saw. tho not quite as light as the ms260 it handles much better,feels alot more nimble. for 'g' prices, take the regular price of the husky xp saw and add £40 for the heated handle upgrade. stihl wise the 361 is a nice smooth saw, and a much better saw than the 341, but is slightly overkill for only running a 15" bar.

Trees/shrubs with Spring and Summer interest
tree_beard replied to Bald Monkey's topic in General chat
hmmm... i find bark and leaves interesting. more interesting than fruit and flowers... trees are generally pretty interesting things all year round. i would say your assignment is purely subjective, and mostly BS:001_tongue: you should protest them wasting your time, make them teach you more stuff and ask you less silly questions:thumbup: -
hey TDC, who makes that?

speak to (pm, or visit the website of...) jonesie:thumbup:

the power mac 6 was also 7lb 4oz (3.29kg) powerhead only (according to my sources) the mini mac 6 was 6 1/2lb (2.95kg) power head only. anyhoo im splitting hairs, macs were amazing saws back in the day, their tophadles sure were light, even by todays standards (but they are a complete pita to work on, even compared to their fiddly modern ancestors). their big saws are where its at though... sp125 ooh mama:001_smile:

nice job, hard work with just a silky! i noticed the bark tear-out on the main leader, willow likes to tear and split, especially big stuff with only a silky... just be aware of what your tied to when cutting bigger spittly stuff, its easier to chase the split with a sharp chainsaw (and of course adequete undercuts and sapwood cuts to avid splitting in the first place). ramble ramble etc... anyways, good job, keep up the practice:thumbup1:
