Finally put my Masterminded 034S into wood

[sld961]

I got my 034S back from Randy a couple months ago, but I haven't had a chance to put it into wood until now.

It's a beast. I ran a 18" 3/8 RS chain on it with an 8 pin sprocket. It pulled it like a champ and I could lean in it in 16" wood.

The clutch seemed to slip a little when I really leaned on it, but I'm not surprised with the 8 pin.

Also got to run the 460 for the first time since I got it. Ran good, but had trouble idling for more than a few seconds. I'll have to do a tune up.

And some pics. .

Nice pics. The 034S is a fantastic saw. With a Woods port, it's only that much better.

The 034 Super is special for some reason. The little boogers run......I mean really run.

How well do you remember the saws you do? Did you end up putting new rings in mine? My compression was like 130 when I sent it off.

 

[Mastermind]

I don't even remember your name.

 

[sld961]

Ok, no big deal, it's got 190 now, so it doesn't really matter. Was just curious.

 

[Mastermind]

Shawn?

 

[Mastermind]

If so.......it got new Cabers.

 

[downey]

Haha yea randy his name is Shawn. I can't wait to run this saw.

 

[Hinerman]

Shawn?

Nice save knucklehead

 

[Mastermind]

I do a **** load of saws.

 

[Hinerman]

I know, just bustin your "you know whats" a little. If I ported 1 saw a year I bet I couldn't remember the persons name the next day.

 

[Mastermind]

I figured out who it was by checking my email folders. I keep pretty good records.

 

[downey]

Haha I'm going to laugh if he text me in the morning saying we blew his thread up all night.

Btw Shawn is my cousin and also his older brother is on here too

 

[Mastermind]

We can party in this here thread....after all, it is Saturday night.

 

[downey]

Hahaha

It's party my fault it took him so long to get this saw into some wood. I would tell him we were cutting wood then something would come up. But of course I wasn't around today. If I like this saw enough Randy. I might be sending u an 038s to u to convert to a mag and port.

 

[Mastermind]

It's one of those nights huh?

 

[downey]

Haha only you randy

I really love my 034 and wouldn't take anything for it.
What sort of gains are you seeing...as opposed to stock?

I'm wrestling with the thought of a muffler mod...
