770G Homie I still have the 770G for sale or trade. Super compression, couple small parts missing-muff cover and 1 handlebar mount strap. It runs w/fuel poured in it. 27" bar, 1/2" pitch chain. Would like to trade for a 372, 044 or larger project saw. Shoot me an offer.[/IMG][/IMG]

Update I think I figured out what cooked it. I tore it down, cleaned up the cyl and put seals in it. I figured I do the carb as well. When I pulled the pump cover off, BROWN GUNK! I think some of that crud plugged the high jet, leaned it out. The saw sat for a while, the fuel that was in the...

372xp ??

Water Had a small job today, checked the fuel before dumping it in the 026. There was some water in it. The last time I ran it at 5000", it was on the rich side. I did have to fatten it up that time. It is getting new seals along with piston. Ethanol sucks...

Good article Here is link to a good article on fuel for saws. I was keeping my fuel in a plastic can, in the back of the truck. Not good, I found another read that said this causes water to accumulate with ethanol fuels. I think it was a combo of bad things...

Good advice here Good article here on fuel. What to use, and why. http://www.madsens1.com/saw%20fuelmix.htm

Piston pics Here is some pics of the piston. I'm thinking it was a combination of things. Lower altitude, cooler temps, crappy gas and Heavy load (detonation). It is getting new seals along with the piston. All the lines were in good shape, and everything was tight. I WILL check for 4 stroking...

For you Jonsered fans..... What is wrong in the picture? Husky tank caps?

More info Ambient Air Temperature / Humidity * As the air temperature or humidity decreases, the air density increases, requiring a richer air-fuel mixture. If the air-fuel mixture is not properly richened, and the mixture is too lean, higher cylinder pressures / temperatures, knocking...

Interesting! Cool link Bitzercreek! I know my saw was not running lean at high altitude. I talked to the fuuel delivery man today, he said they started the winter blend last month. Now after reading about additives, some things are becoming more clear. Fuel Type / Quality * Low...

I always run Stihl orange or Husky XP oil, .9 gal 93 oct. to 2.6 oz. I don't mix a lot of fuel at one time, try to keep it fresh. If it sits for a couple months, it goes in the Dakota. Commiefornia has some crappy fuel, smog B.S. I wonder if they have switched over to the winter formula, it...

Good ? We have 2 gas stations up here, a Valero and a 7-11. Not the best fuel. Think crappy fuel with Ethanol would do this? I mix .9 gal 93 oct. with Stihl oil, don't use old fuel. There are no name brand fuels up here, have to drive down the mtn to get Shell or Chevron. I will put some...

Whatcha think? Here is a pic of the plug. Doesn't look like it was running lean. What do you think?

There was a good thread here about stacking, with instructions. Try a search, several cool ways to stack wood.

Poulan 330 and 10 cases of beer! Get that Poulan 330 for 200 bucks, you can get bout 8-10 cases of beer to admire your work with after. For 200 you can't find a better deal on a new saw. Just a thought to consider.

Not sure, but I think the west coast saws come with the big spikes and full wrap. If you want the big ones, check out Baileys, they have the kit with roller chain catcher and bolts.....15 bucks.

"I wonder if the muffler ports face the wood and the excessive lean heat was torching it? " Exactly, the muff is one that has a tube at about 30% angle, pointing at the wood. I was watching the end of the of the bar, a 32 runnin full skip. This was a tree that had been through a fire and...

Yep. When you order by the link, quantity = 105 @ .20 = $21.00. It should be 105 links, check your bar to be sure.

It was runnin great last time at 5000". Today was much cooler and lower elevation. I think I'll check seals while I have it down. Never had a prob with this saw. HMMMM, think i'll check everything! Something bad happened. I never saw a saw saw, like this saw saws. :jawdrop:

Here we go. My buddy says, hey there is a big old Oak that fell down off the Hwy up here, let's go get it. Okay, throw the 371XP in his truck, and we are off. The Oak was big, prolly 40-46" dia., I fire up my saw, running like a mad dog. Chips are flyin, the saw is just screamin (unlimited...
