I guess the 99 buck chinese ones just need more woods reports, all i ever see is they are in yard sales and c l as only used one time?This could get interesting , would love to see the video of the extreme torture test where they put v belt pulley on in place of sprocket and run a chicken barn fan with it for a tank full

I'd appreciate it if you would run it a few tanks worth and give us a review. As far as I know, you are the first one to bite to bullet and shell out the cabbage for one of them.
If it lasts for a cord of wood I'd say they would be fun for a build....
I could do that.I will keep you posted on it.Just don't ask me to baby it :hmm3grin2orange:

Yes the majority of 'no-name' chinese saws are based on the Redmax G5000 which is a pro saw (alloy/mag crankcase). The displacements range from 45-62cc. I own a few of them which I bought many years ago, $50-$100 seemed pretty cheap at the time and I have cut several tons of firewood with them. But now that I own real saws they don't get used much any more. The only major issue so far was a tank vent rubber which didn't seal properly.
A friend of mine actually uses these chainsaw engines in miniature drone aircraft he built for a search and rescue project. He says that with a few mods like adjusting timing, etc he got a good increase in power.
Oh yeah and I think it would be a cool cheap build off saw :msp_thumbup:

I had one of these that a friend of mine gave me cause it barely had enough power to keep the clutch engaged.Chainsaw 18" - 45cc Viper Engine - Detail information for Chainsaw 18" - 45cc Viper Engine
I gave it a woods port & left the base gasket out & it became a respectable lil saw. The design was that of a smaller pro saw, but the fit & finish was not the best.
I think cutting the squishband & the right porting would make it a lil screamer.

The only part left in the air, is the quality of materials, and the manufacturing technology...
We know the Chinese are building in the 70's... A bit behind....
When the thing I bought gets here I will take a bunch of pics when I tear it down.I am not near as good of judge of stuff as a lot of you guys are.Maybe that will help a little?Plus just run the crap out of it. :hmm3grin2orange:
