I think the EPA saws are similar ( just different the stickers ) . Its the California specific saws that are stricter on emissions . So much so that the already " pants " Husky 338 had to have the capacity upped to 45cc to try and get some sort of performance out of it . It was still worse than the 38cc one .

Walnut can be tricky , early sap riser

Ok lets finish this like all the other threads on thias subject . All dry wood burns .
-
If its the one on fleabay the motor is not powerful enough , and its belt drive . My opinion of course but based on experience .
-
That was me I think

If you are going to make it like mine with its own engine you will need 25hp min and chain drive not belt .Its the torque that you need . My cone splitter is faster than my hydraulic one until you get a gnarly old bit of something which stalls it . Then you loose all the time you gained cutting it off the cone . Once you get up around 25-30hp there is enough torque to avoid this . If you run one off a tractor then never a problem .

Agreed

Sounds like low compression . Quits when it gets hot .

Yep . Sorted . Mine had as follows new carb and remapped the electricery stuff . There was also a new coil ( to aid hot starting ) and a modified starter pull mech . I think the dodgy ones were all 2012 saws . ( 2012 in the serial plate that is ) 2013 onwards should be all up to date . The thing to remember is ignition is always ON . When starting from hot don't touch the red lever . One pump of primer and de comp in and pull . ( de comp pops out just from compression so I push it in every time I pull it over even if it does not fire. This lessons the strain on the starter pull ) You must set the auto tune as per the book . Do read it ! It is the best 60cc I have used and I am 60 years old !

Thought so
-
Ok Ta . Nice one .
-

What do you use to clean/protect you Zermatts . just got a pair and the red leather is sorta sued so not sure what to put on it ??
-
Yards of it in Sussex . THE least labor intensive wood has to be sycamore . Seasons quick , splits easy peasy and burns well .
-
Understood . There myself right now . I do think its a case of you get what you pay for though . Someone posted about the cheap strides and said yea they are good but it like wearing P jammers !
-
Dead elm . !!
-
I have tried all kinds over the years and I know they are probably the most expensive but I have found them to be the best fit and the most well made out of all the strides I have tried ..... Pfanner gladiator ventilation .
-
I used to make my own loops with tie straps rivets etc . Got an Oregon riveter and spinner . It was always Oregon chain though . Could not get Stihl links and tie straps . Can't be arsed nowadays though !
-
I thought he said the 50cc husky cut faster than the 59cc Stihl didn't he ?
-
What yanks my chain is the knobs that rev the nuts of it then snap it on . Mechanical sympathy and all that .....
-
Ok I defer to the Spud one
-
Nuclear powered super silly cutting thingy ?
-
Hell yes !
-
Well; if you are gonna be silly what about my Walkerised 395 on an 18" bar verses a Stihl home owner pants saw !
