Randy you are remonding me more of my buddy Parmeter, day by day. He say's somewhere's too LOL! Well Im glad you got that saw. They have quite the following. I think all saw's bigger in size even buit today should have a manual oiler. Be a nice feature. I noticed most maybe all I see have a sinle dawg. I thought mine was just missing one? Maybe not. Don't think I have seen one with two. I got mine from a good buddy. Tried to talk him into keeping it, several time's. Glad he dind'nt. It was one of the last one's. 2101xp, thin ring. 10,500 rpm. At first I thought before I ran it, being sold on my 660, that it would sit, and not get used. Partially, because of the lower speed. I was wrong the torque pick's up the slack. I fell in love with it. Built to last saw's. Cool you offered that bar Aaron, I too have one it's a 28in. Dindn't think you would want it Randy. Im guessing you are taller? 36 is good for the tall guy's. Not my short ass! I got a cool hat to, but it's brown, have to wear it at the GTG.

yeah it's quite a saw, I viewed some vids, there were some showing use of a "D" pull start handle, seems like a good idea. BigBadBob said it has over 200psi compression, I believe it. Is there a v-stack air filter for these? The airbox cover is damaged and a v-stack would help with the somewhat blocky lines.

I use mostly stihl mount bars on my huskies with the adapter baileys sells. It works good. Sometime you end up with an odd dl size when using them. A 28" seems to be the worst one. You can lengthen the slot in the bars forward a little and run a 32" with a 105 dl chain.

i would like a v-stack for mine also for the same reasons.

There used to be? I have whats called a Super Stack on my 2100. Basically a small stack with a cylindrical foam filter. The foam is starting to break down on mine, and don't know what I'll do for replacement if I can't one. I also have an extra 36" Orygun bar .404. It supposed to be for the 394/395. But I put a similar 32" on my 281 and it seems to oil fine.

Here's the air filter set up on my 2100CD.
This saw is a very strong runner with tons
of power for a 100cc saw. Has monsterous
compression.

I like that pleated style, has a machine quality to it.
I see that "D" handles are cheap, I have a SkiDoo handle on the way.

that's it . i know i can get the k&n i'll have to make the carb adaptor, shouln't be to hard. unless someone has one laying around. iremember guys putting nylons over them so the pleats don't plug up.

 

[Joe46]

The Super Stack was made in Laytonville, Ca. 5 will get you 10 I bought from Bailey's.

I have a 42" rollernose, I might see about getting it to fit. Heavy gauge .404 square bit should do well.

What saw was that 42" RN made to fit? Large mount Husky saws have 9mm/.355" bar studs IIRC.

The V stack seemed real popular for those. I have never seen the low profile, or is it the one like the K&N type. They look good, but seen alot of the tall filter's get smashed. I have never tried one, supposed to be good though. I do like having the cover to protect the filter though.

 

[Joe46]

There is vid of guy running an 1100 with a 42" bar on it cutting oak slabs. Has a D handle on it. In the Mac thread.

Here's a low profile one, but I'm workin' on one that will be real low,

 

[RandyMac]

Now we are talkin' Thanks sachsmo.

A D handle will save what is left of my fingers, the McCulloch era did some damage. I'll be dropping the 1100 off at the dealer to have it vac and pressure tested, before running it much.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Nice! Sachsmo. I got pics, of my saw's you were looking for, on page 13 of this thread. Randy good deal can't wait until you are cutting with the 1100!

 

[NORMZILLA44]

A couple more pic's. Cut wood the other day, and dind'nt get a chance to clean em. My 2101, and the mighty 660.
