Well look who wondered in here, if it isn't the fella that helped me sort out my 2100, not to mention pitched whiffle balls to my youngest son when he wasn't having him sort fuel caps.......LOL!!!!
How the heck are you Mike? Glad to see you poke your head in here.

they won't take long to sell mate. I would have to even think about those.
WILL,,, come on down, my practice stand is a loader and log grab. I have enough fuel here for 2 of those 2100's and 1 training day.

so i started digging around on BC. Clutch "pads" worn through, muffler rusty with small holes, lower muff mount holes-one stripped, other with broken bolt embedded. bottom right bar mount hole stripped clean. not sure if oiler works, shaft on manual is crudded up. Piston scuffed a teeny tad.
SO i throw it all together with 30" b/c and tried to use Cali's cover for the dogs...no worky clutch dragging on cover. so I go out slick faced, j/b welded, nuts bolts missing here and there...
NO WAY it "ran good" the way the carb was set. It would start and idle fine, but once warmed would fall on its face when you pulled the trigger. H was 1/4 turn open!!! I reset the screws to 1.5 and 1.25 then leaned it a little more as burble required and
started noodling some red oak. slabbed out some oak and cherry from the big odd pieces 'round the firewood pile. and i
CANT STOP GRINNING!!!
my back is a bit out of kilter, but my smirk may be permanent.
too much fun--and the chain is really ratty-of at least two different makers and just nearly worn out. the drags were all over the place. gotta buys me some chain. and find bigger wood.
Who needs a milling attachment?--this freehand slabbing is more fun! :hmm3grin2orange:

Hello friend's! I am a little depressed, as I will be selling my first saw. This is one of mine, bought it new in 98 a 51 husky. Don't use it much but it is part of the collection. I need to get some new vest's, and cut collar's for my dog's, and some first aid gear. Just never have any money, and I feel selfish not making a sacrifice. I will miss the saw sentimenatal of course. But will be left with the 044-372 660-2101 those were alway's my primary saw's anyway. It's life I guess. Wade glad you are liking it, and it's not all hype the 2100 is the real Mccoy! I am not a full comp man though LOL!

Top idea norm, sell it you will sleep better knowing the dogs have protection, if yanky boars are like ours, the dogs can use the extra insurance.
I gave up sawracing some years back and sold off my entire race collection, they helped pay my house deposite and legal expences. Over time i regained a newer set of race saws but wish i still had some of my favourits like my own built 3120 twin. That saw sits in a glass case at a former racing mates office with some of his race engines.

on selling: I offered on of my jreds to a pal who needs a real saw as he started heating with wood this winter...kinda cool if you can sell stuff to folks "nearby". but there's not enough time in this life to use and do everything we want to. hell, i'm only a saw nut three or four months per year...well okay, a socially active saw nut. I'm afraid i'll do more hot-weather sawing now.
SO I was pleased to learn that a hot re-start was "easy" enough on the big bastids. I probably drop-started BC 14-20 times Thursday. THEN on Friday I'm working over chains and such at the shop. It just so happens that the first saw I start is a little one (49cc) and I cracked up at myself because I hit it like it was 99cc's. I'll bet you the fins on the fly-wheel flexed when I snatched the rope. MY arms still had bigsaw on the menu...
now i just flip my wrist to start the little buggers.

Hey Wade,,, I used 2100's for many years, then 3120's and 394's and i tell you what it stunted my growth. haha.
Some days i feel like i am 90 years old with old injuries that keep reaccuring and i have a bad back.
But i would not of missed those years for the world and still live to tell the tale. For guys like me the bush is the best job we would ever want to do. I still use 395's and such each day in my mill operation but its nothing like pro logfalling.
Quick pic of the only 2100 i have today and it came from the states.
