Spend the day milling a nice big old oak that I climbed and felled a few weeks back. Lovely door sized slabs coming off, and first time I've run a 076 and 084 together. Many much times faster. Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app

Spud, yes looks like same shenanigans on the 660. Did you split the case to jb weld it? Was it on the gasket? He golf piston rings are OK, but do oem shatter easily too? Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app

Can see a bit better here. Just to left of crank rod, above bearing dark hole size o yer thumb nail right on the gasket. Thought about epoxy, but would it take the pressure? Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app

Had pal over to yard to do some alaskan milling together today. His 880 wouldn't start. So checked spark, no spark, checked flywheel gap, no gap flywheel had been battering coil. Set gap reassembled, couldn't find 8mm nut for carb assumed it bounced away into sawdust. Started saw fired up. Yes we thought! But no. No no no no Said nut had magically popped into carb boot, sucked into pot. Siezed not so bad I hear you say? Well might get away with just a new piston, will have to see but pot doesn't look great some pretty nasty burrs. Ah the piston skirt is smashed and the crank is full of chain oil. Oh Goody the piston skirt got popped through the crankcase and into the oil tank. Seems to be a golf piston Ffs! Not good day milling! Sent from my C6903 using Arbtalk mobile app

fecked around with this saw again, fuel lines look good, no pinching or splits, cuts and revs fine but either chain creep (fast spin) when saw is level or if backed off til no chain creep, saw dies when hanging on strop. full of fuel. real puzzle. you can alter the revs bypushing/twisting the trigger handle, but i think this is just the carb lever getting pulled slightly. no other ideas? or clues? thanks

confusingly im actually quite impressed with her. there are many videos of similarly unskilled 20 something year old americans doing similar tree "fells" and i dont see what she is doing is any worse. cant help but smile at how pleased she seems. obviously would have been a pretty different story had it not been as successful

Not really understanding the doubling force thing your talking about. Can you explain I different words? Might be wrong but seems that certainly in the first mewp vid the stem that broke was totallyaide loaded as the rope between the other block and the brake tried to get as straight as possible which is why it broke. Obv timber is stronger when the force is directly vertical down a stem rather than bending it. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Why do you prefer a semi on the 880? Less sharpening ringing up dirty stems? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yeah I have been trying to sort my one that doesn't fit and one with a snapped tooth(after first use). They have now changed staff and the fella I spoke to refunded me Instantly, so worth ringing them and speaking Greg.

Furthest away you have been asked to quote for tree works?

I did some tree work in Greece for my brother in laws firm. It is appalling climbing in 35c Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app -
That reminds me, I returned one with a snapped tooth send one that didn't fit on the saw a while ago and they still have entered replaced them Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

I would definitely do this. Plenty 50/60/70cc used saws with full parts back up out there for less rohan you'd think. Keep an eye out for makita/dolmar, echo, tanaka and youmight find something good. If your wanting to step up to 18"I'd suggest 60cc plus. I suspect asking a cheap 45cc/50cc saw to bury a large bar is also asking for it to break Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Carving bar Chain lift before nose?
billpierce replied to billpierce's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Thanks Rob, it's a used bar I bought with 5 new chains, the one that's on was peened when I got it, the bar did need dressing so I did this, fairly sure the previous owner had a goosed sprocket. Thanks Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app -
Carving bar Chain lift before nose?
billpierce replied to billpierce's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Groove is clean, I thought it was a siezed links until I noticed it did it on everyone all the way round the chain and the 2nd new chain didn't solve it. I have used the saw again today and seems to be doing it a bit less, potentially it was some burring from when dressed the rails (burring across to inside of rails?) Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app -
Never had this before, been using carving bars for getting on 10 years now, Chain being a fool, sucker, just before nose, bar is dressed nice, all square rails even wear, tried with 2 chains (both new) same thing, new sprocket. When you run the chain it appears to tighten, then if you pull it or put the brake on it slackens off again. Def not drive links bottoming out as if you push it down it'll sit back Just thought some other carver might of had same problems Foolish sucker Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
