Adding a decompression valve isn't that hard.
Humm . . . . although I have considerable sympathy with what you are saying the first part is a bit like saying, if you can't push start a Mac truck you shouldn't be driving it. Conversely there are folk around that can start big saws but wouldn't be anywhere near safe in doing so. But I agree fully with the second part.
If you have to tug,grunt and jerk that contraption 20 times,it's chronically out of tune.I've got 40 year old McCullochs that don't start that hard.
As for the chainbrake deal,most of mine don't have them,so I don't have to fret about that.:biggrinbounce2:
But a mack truck doesn't require you to stand for long periods of time with moving teeth a foot from your leg. How are you going to brace yourself if it kicks back?
Chainbrakes are no good to people who aren't used to them, like me, stay away, they're pretty dangerous when they snag on at the worst time, I hate chainbrakes and always rip the springs and junk out, also the front brake handle I do like, as it's protection in front of the front hand, but the brake system is just a bloody nuisance, it's bizarre if people are getting kickbacks they're not even using the saw properly for krissake, a chainbrake likely won't save their asses for long
Do we have a dumbass comment of the year thread? I nominate this nitwit!Chainbrakes are no good to people who aren't used to them, like me, stay away, they're pretty dangerous when they snag on at the worst time, I hate chainbrakes and always rip the springs and junk out, also the front brake handle I do like, as it's protection in front of the front hand, but the brake system is just a bloody nuisance, it's bizarre if people are getting kickbacks they're not even using the saw properly for krissake, a chainbrake likely won't save their asses for long
chainsaw operator two: "I have no chainbrake, as always, I'm gonna be careful.."
It must be more than just too much advance.I just looked it up,064 advance as per factory,26 to 30 BTDC .066,per factory specs ,27.5 to 32.5 BTDC.This Stihl is still a mystery,or so it seems.
Part of being careful involves not being an idiot.
What you're saying is rather like saying "I'm not going to burn anything, I'm just going to set something on fire."
You don't know what you're talkin' about matey
