WI/MN/IA GTG March 13th 2010

I changed some things in the p/c from that 2171, so it's either going to work well and suprise us or it's going to be a dissapointment (most likely). I know a few things now and I'd like to change some things on it but would start over with a good used OEM setup to make the changes, I'm sure there is more potential in the OEM setup than the Baileys BB kit.

will anybody be bringing a chainsaw mill?

Maybe we can square up some of those pine for racing in the am and cut them into cookies after "eats".

You are going to break in that 7900 REAL quick that way!

You are going to break that 7900 in REAL quick that way!

what 7900 I'd love to buy a mill, but really have no use for one other than to have some fun now and then. Just maybe I'll get time and build one, but it makes more sense to do something usefull.

OK we did run the 7900 the other day and get a couple tanks of gas through it. That thing cuts double the wood on a quart of gas than the 660 will. We bucked up about 10-11 face cord of soft wood on less than 2 tanks in it.

I might be able to get some squared up at a local mill. I am friends with on of the brothers that run it.

Check with Steve on a mill.
I put a link to a chainsaw mill on the craigslist thread and he said he e-mailed them.
I haven't heard if he got it or not............

 

[woodyman]

No, it has doors!

Just wondering what was stock on those engines.Mine has the open design like a 026 piston.

 

[wdchuck]

Mine comes with me each gtg.

GB style, it has four posts where the Alaskan has two.

Ideas for GTG

Just a couple thoughts on recent thread topics to put to rest at the GTG.
Dolmar 6400 vs 32" bar
Do shorter bars cut faster than longer bars?

I will be bringing my 7900 with 16, 20, 24, and 32" bars along with the latest addition for that saw a 20" bar sporting 404 chain.

I like this experiment!

 

[HEAVY FUEL]

OK, It looks like this will be the day that is approved by my wife.
Who is interested in coming to have some fun?
Probably can cut one load for charity.
Also thinking about doing a comparison on fuel.
And a whole lot of racing and saw demos.
A little more comparison with that "goofy" chain that I have.
I think Ryan will bring some more smoked Pork Butt! Yum!

I'm guessing my 084 can drink almost as fast as Redlinefever..

It looks to me like we should do a "How to tune your saw" demonstration also.
I don't trust myself by ear so I always try to use a tach.

Have u started practicing jon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GrizzlyAdams86]

Maybe we could have "Muffler Modification 101"? The warranty is up on my 260 pro next month.

 

[wi50]

I usually tune by ear, got a nice tach but don't use it much, don't trust it.

I suppose I could bring the tig welder and milling machine for muffla mod 101
