But would not a larger bore decrease air velocity, which draws more fuel? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
-
I have ported it as you know, and it sucks more air through, hence a richer mixture, so, by my reckoning I can sort this by fitting a carb with a larger diameter centre (dunno what it's called) as this will suck less fuel out, allowing a bit more adjustment Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Right, help needed, I need a bigger carb for the 357 as it's as lean as I can get it on a 15", so I can't go up to 18 as it'll be too rich. Likewise I need a bigger one for the 385 for the 36" bar and when I have it modded, but I believe a 372xt carb is the one to go with here? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Husky do a full chisel? Generally, the Oregon stuff can be sharpened more aggressively and don't chip as badly I've found, where as you muller a stihl chisel and loose half. Semi chisels resist more damage BUT it puts a lot more strain on a saw due to a larger cutting edge Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

There are a few questions you have to ask yourself regarding m-tronic/autotune, first will you run more than one bar length? No > you're fine without it. Yes > Do you own a tachometer? Yes > you're fine without autotune. No > get a saw that tunes itself. Too many people think swapping bars over is just as simple as that, but the mixture leans and richens with bar length.

Husky chains are fine, not particularly aggressive though, you have to order the .058 stihl chain though as .063 won't fit in the bar Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I've had one that was sharp for a few days without touching it! Only went blunt when my boss used it! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I assume you've cleaned the carb, new rubbers, reset the carb, another thing is if it has a decomp, it may be leaking, bloody things! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

whats the hardest timber we have growing in Britain???
Eddy_t replied to se7enthdevil's topic in Woodcraft Forum
Thorns if you can find a big enough piece, oak, elm, yew is pretty damn tough, but by far the hardest I've found is seasoned plane, even a hydraulic splitter fights that! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
No powerlines in woods? I work utilities, there are definitely more powerlines in woods than gardens! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

An 076 is damn light in comparison, I've quite happily done a day of felling with an 051/075 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

My 090 weighs between 35-40kg Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yes, if it fits that saw! But why not get an 8t rim? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I'll send you my 090 up a tree, you'll rethink your policy before the saw is 5 feet off the floor! You can try all you want to stop climbers from using a topper one handed, most of them pick the bad habits up watching others Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Well today I finished early, so I thought I'd do the 254 carb, so took the carb off and stuck it in the cleaner. Happened to glance at the cylinder inlet and noticed a scored piston, so I whipped the muffler off too, to find some retard has changed the piston in the past and put it on backwards! Ring ends + exhaust = bad! Luckily the cylinder isn't too bad, any damage will be removed when I give it a going-over with the dremel Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Niko is sawtroll on here I said pm him. You can get a 3/8 on small spline with 7t, but as he has said, 8t requires the 562 clutch and worm gear Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

So is there anything you like currently rich? On my bench currently is my 08s waiting a tune up, 346 new brake handle fitted, just needs retuning, 254 waiting on a carb kit to be fitted, need to go to the post office to pick up a piston for a cut-off saw that has seized, I just need time to do it all now!

Daft and irritating terminology used in this industry
Eddy_t replied to Goaty's topic in General chat
I thought this thread was going to be arborist terminology, instead it's old buggers moaning about text speak and other social media things... again! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
Metal costs more than plastic. Injection moulding is a cheap and fast method of mass producing a saw cheaper to bin and replace than to fix. Plastic doesn't shatter as easy as magnesium when an idiot homeowner drops a log on it. Warranty parts are bolt-on, bolt-off, and a homeowner is an expert at breaking something in an impressively inventive way! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

They changed husqvarna to huskvarna (the city, not the company) so idiots wouldn't mispronounce it, hence why people say husky, huskies, husqy, etc. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
Because you can't skim the base to increase compression, the cylinder is usually open transfers, so you can't get as much power with porting, and generally working on the cylinder, bearings and other associated parts generally involves dismantling into a million and one plastic pieces! Pro saws are generally easier to work upon, with maintenance kept in mind when designing Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Aww poor rich how far did you get? Most of the way? Has the harvester killed your passion for hand-held power? Personally I don't see your hate of the 540, it's fairly straight forward in contrast to the 335/338xpt Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
