It was a different piece of wood. I didn't originally put it in the 4x4

Yeah, you would think so but it was only a 12'' oak in the middle of a town lot lol. It wouldn't have been a problem except that micro picco chain is so darn easy to break. Probably didn't help being a first time operator and a dealing with a partially fallen hung-up tree.
Must have been used to post signs or posters on.

Check this out guys!
Needs porting alittle, timing advanced and base gasket delete. No m/m, loud enough.

Good to hear it running. Did you polish the piston up?

I did nothing to it, swapped out the soft parts in the carburetor with a good used set, modified the idle adjustment because the spring was too big, but after fighting with it for two days it finally started up, I think there was a little bit of water in the crankcase when I got it, but I drained it and kept priming it until all of the water was dried out and it would pull from the tank.
Yea, those things don't run good on water.

Sorry to break up the regular saw talk but I'm pretty excited to have some new kiddos in the family!

Well, I can thing of at least a couple of saws that do run better in water... or belong in the water at least....

I've got a buddy with a pneumatic chainsaw for that reason

More pics while their cute! Doesn't take very long for that to change. Also, that doesn't look like the byproduct of chainsaw testing what they are laying on...unless you have a new toy you're reluctant to show us!

Ehh, I was thinking more along the lines of some of those mini-macs that are a nightmare to work on, or some of those really cheap boxstore clam-shell models.

Well it's not a saw, but it's close... Have you ever seen/watched 'That Chipper Guy' on YT? He runs a big Morbark flail chipper and produces some sweet looking chips. Too bad they all go to a power plant and become fuel.I wish I had a saw that could make quarter size chips

I know they don't use a saw but I'm saying it'd be cool lol. If you could physically handle it I've looked at getting a chipper actually but don't have the money to pull the trigger

So preparing to mill saturday at the spring festival, so im making my own milling chains kinda, breaking and spinning chain into 116 drives, then grinding the teeth down to a 10° angle, then filing the rakers. Man it takes along time to sharpen 5- 36" chains

Gosh, I would love a chipper also. I hate hauling all the brush from these side jobs in the truck to the dump. Get all scratched up loading it, and it's a miserable tangled mess to get out.
