For you and your triple Oz prices. Not for us here is US. :tongue2:

Very nice. Is it MMd yet or bone stock? Looks awesome.

Probably the same bag of tricks... 5765993

Good luck ordering them - I am sure that is no-go!

Bone stock. Squish .033 Timing it now.

They really are mini 562's. Nice having a one design plan to work on.

Nothing like 10700 in the cut with a stock saw.

My tach goes nutty AWOT so the assumption is a rev limiter. Stock vid uploading.

Strange. My Fast Tach did't.....maybe I need to try again.

Thought I remembered you had commented on it. My Oppama wont register it and reverts to the hour meter.

I take it going gasket less isn't an option for this one

Wasn't on the 562 either, hence the .025 popup.

Nothing like 10700 in the cut with a stock saw.

Starting into the tank of fuel, 9600 was the number. Going into tank two, and geeze did that take some time, it hung on the high 10k pretty consistent.

Flywheel side. Without the recoil on it, be difficult to tell from a 562.

I have to make it clear how easy these saws are to tear down. Every major component is bundled with others so it comes a part in sections really. Everything clears easily even with the space they are crammed into.

Great job again Mitch

This info and pics is why I have been waiting for you to get one in your hands.

 

[morgaj1]

Nice job Mitch! I noticed the Husky logo on the cylinder. Is Mahle no longer making the cylinders?

 

[heimannm]

Hey Mitch, I have a PM850 I just put together and need to test, have any logs available? Old school vs. modern technology.

I will try to remember and call Steve Ericksen tomorrow to see if he stiil has all of those trees in the pasture.
