  1. Bad news once again . Sorry to hear it bud . If I had my way I'd have thier hands off .
  2. Stove going like a goodun in anticipation of going nippie over night tonight .
  3. Why didn't they pick the cheese up and tap it back in the gob ! ?
  4. Both the cork screw and the hydraulic are road tow able and have their own engines . The yellow one has a Honda 11hp and the red one has a 6.5hp and is 20ton force . I like the fact it is double ended anvil as you can load both ends and split on the return stroke . The cork screw is faster but only good on easy splitting stuff like ash syc and beech . It needs more torque from a larger engine really . The hydraulic is not as fast but I have yet to find anything it wont split .
  5. I Recon its been ripped of a Randy Duncan listing . He uses the phrase " The go to guy for chain saw parts " .
  6. See if you can get the american market 562 " hightop " housing and heavy duty filter .
  7. You need a 550 or a 560 then .
  8. Hi and welcome to the forum . Ex para will certainly be tough enough ! You sound very positive and I am sure you will succeed. Good luck with everything bud .
  9. Sorry never tried one .. nor has anyone else it seems .
  10. Well I think the 390XP is a good saw as I have had no problems with mine save a screw came out on the exhaust bracket , no biggie . I bought it to replace my stolen 385XP . The rule of thumb is big power head short bar = fast cut . That does not mean you need 100cc on a 13" bar ! A 390 will run a 28" bar nio probs . But if you don't need to cut that bigger timber then you don't need that bigger saw . Remember the bigger the power head the more it will weigh . You got to lug it all day . You should be able to cut diameters of twice your bar length if needs be .
  11. Yep got one of those too . Good saw up to 20" bar . Will run a 24 .

    357xp misfiring

    Sounds more like fuel than a miss fire ??
  16. Well you godda keep us updated now . I love this kinda thing as I come from an engineering back ground . Good luck bud !
  17. The days of the old Willans are over then !
  18. Changing from 3/8 to .325 is not "down gearing " . It just gives you more cutters for a given bar length. Standard rim sprocket is I think 7 pin . you can raise the gearing to an 8 pin but be sure that it still allows the saw to "rev out " . If it does not you stand a chance of plug fouling as it will tend to be slightly rich . You can get away with taller gear ( 8 instead of 7 pin ) if you use a relatively short bar or the saw is ported . ( see spud for porting ! )
  19. No Idea how to help but this has got to be some kind of V6 vehicle ???
  20. The mans an engineer ! new it as soon as he said Bridgeport Mill
