is there something wrong

[Deer Assassin]

with me
heck as of late when im in my shop i just pick up a saw just to hear it run

wood cutting season is over for me but i just have to hear them run and i wind up cutting a lil bit too


im not going to say i have allegiance to one brand or another

but the 041 fb is the only stihl i have and it seems to be the one i grab the most ,,
i dont know if it is because i rebuilt it after i dropped a tree on it or it is my first "real " saw but i love the way it sounds and runs


dad thinks i have lost my mind
heck it is just this damn website

Last night I started both Harleys just to hear them run a bit. I let them idle till I got a call from the USGS, wanting to know about some possible seismic activity in the vicinity of my garage.
Run them saws all you want. Everybody here will relate to that. I guarantee it.

 

[subhunter]

I go out and start mine just to hear em when I havent got to cut in a while. You just cant beat the sounds of some of these saws

 

[blsnelling]

Don't fight it...embrace it. There's no cure for the disorder you describe, so you might as well enjoy it

 

[Dan_IN_MN]

You guys are just plane SICK!

I would never admit to such a thing!

 

[Anthony_Va.]

I have a challenge for you.

Go find yourself a nice 056 Magnum and see if it don't flip you plum out. :hmm3grin2orange:

Then you'll have full grown CAD!

You can admit it here! the truth will set you free.

 

[dh1984]

Well, you surely picked a good one to fall in love with!

My 041 sat for about ten years until this January when I was looking for something to do, so I shoveled my way out to the shed and retrieved her. What a grand old dame!

I cleaned her up, installed a carb kit, and new lines, and fired her up.

The sound she makes is unlike any other chainsaw, and I can listen the her idle "all day". Haha!

I especially like to feel the idle, that slow, pop,,,pop, pop. With every fire of the plug, the bar jumps a little.

Yes, sir,,,gotta love those old 041's.

Doesn't everybody here do that?

I'd be surprised if anyone here on AS denied firing up a saw now and then just to hear it run. I fired up my 064CC and the big Homelight 1050 just yesterday to hear them run. I haven't gotten them into wood yet, so I needed to fire them up and hear them roar. Great fun!

Relax, you're perfectly normal--at least around here!

did the same thing this afternoon.... just saw that yellow thing sitting there calling "start me!!!" ..... so the 1-41 spewed 2 cycle exhuast for a few minutes in the garage... and made me a happy camper!!!!

 

[dh1984]

yea i fire mine up atleast onced a week if i'm not useing them to cutt fire wood or trimming trees with them.i alway love the way a 041 stihl runs and idles i shouldn't have sold it but i know someone would have put her to good use and would love it the same way i did

 

[nmurph]

Everybody here will relate to that. I guarantee it.

well, everyone except Spacey.......you want to hear love?? fire up a 125 and just let it idle away in the corner of the shop; i'm guilty. an even better sound is to put several hours of work into a rebuild and hear that first pop.....

 

[willbarryrec]

Ya I fired up my 2100 for the second time after rebuilding the lower end over the weekend and I just had to let it sit there and idle for a few minutes while I worked on other things.....Of course I "had" to go and blip the throttle every now and then.:msp_tongue::hmm3grin2orange:

 

[nmurph]

yep, i bet a 2100 works too, as would a 143/153/166/1050/797/etc.....when i fire the 125, i can almost think i am listening to a 70's dirt bike. i just need some castor oil and i would be transported!!!!!

 

[JJay03]

I start my 361 pretty often im sure the neighbors think im nuts.

 

[GM_DaddyMac]

No there is nothing wrong -- as others have said don't fight it, embrace it.

As a matter of fact -- this has inspired me to wake up my 040 for the spring. I love the sound of that saw -- may have to include it in the line-up for the next cutting session.

 

[Danno]

What's this "wood cutting season" thing you speak of? Do you mean there are people who aren't cutting all year long?

 

[rarefish383]

Yea, I crank up the XL923 every other day or so. I used to crank up the 1050 every day when I got home from work. Then I put a NOVA II electroninc ignition in it. I think that changes the timing a little, makes it pop back. Kinda takes the fingers off at the knuckles. Now when ever I walk up to the 1050 my right hand jumps in my pocket and won't come out, Joe.
