    dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

    Thanks Nathan! I also sent an email to Moreoutdoors4u to see if they can provide any info on a rebuild kit. I'll post whatever I find out. Paul

    dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

    Does anybody know what carb comes on the 41cc version? I'm trying to get either a repair kit or replacement carb. I searched the thread and elsewhere but so far have not found it. Thanks, Paul

    Ignition Coil for Jonsereds 630?

    It appears that my friend is probably not going to try to fix it - he might try to sell it. It hasn't been run for years but knowing the family, it was probably not run much. Any thoughts on what he should try to ask for it?

    Okay, very good. I'll pass that info along to him. Thank you!

    Ignition Coil for Jonsereds 630?

    I have a friend who has a Jonsereds 630 and he has been told that the coil is bad and that it is no longer available. An internet search for the part seems to show aftermarket parts out there but it is a bit confusing in that it appears that there may be a two piece set required or maybe not...

    Neat little gearbox attachment for chainsaw

    Years ago - like around 1970 - I lived very close to one of the largest maple syrup producers in the US (at that time). They used Homelite saws to drill the holes. The saws had a custom machined adaptor that fit right on the output shaft of the saw - in place of the clutch. The other end of...

    Quick and easy way to swap a tach from saw to saw?

    Okay, so I had time over the weekend to play around a bit with this Trail Tech TTO brand tach/hour meter and it does work wirelessly (at least it did with the Earthquake I was trying it on) As long as it had the original length of wire on it that it came with, it would pick up the RPM quite...

    Quick and easy way to swap a tach from saw to saw?

    Yeah I just tried it for the first time on one of the Earthquakes that I had finished porting. I was surprised to see how quickly it accumulated over a 1/2 hour on it just cutting up one smallish maple (and doing a bit of tuning on the carb)

    Quick and easy way to swap a tach from saw to saw?

    The one I have does have both functions. Trail Tech (or TTO brand). Paid $24.00 a couple of weeks ago on ebay but now I see they are up to $32.00

    Quick and easy way to swap a tach from saw to saw?

    Okay, those would certainly work. I thought that maybe one of the guys had come up with some super clean way of doing it. One thought I had was to make the electrical connection through the one of the two screws that can be used to hold it down. That would eliminate the velcro and would only...

    Quick and easy way to swap a tach from saw to saw?

    Yes, that might work too. I should have time to play with it this weekend and see what it takes to trigger the input of the tach. I may try doing something like that on the underside of the top cowl with a wire that had been wrapped around the plug wire on one end and then formed into a...

    Quick and easy way to swap a tach from saw to saw?

    That's quite the sales video they have there! I did see the connector you were talking about. I'm sure that works fine for the way they are using it but probably not too good for what I had in mind. I'll see if this tach that I have can be made to work without the wire connection to the spark...

    Quick and easy way to swap a tach from saw to saw?

    Yes that's what I originaly had in mind. And if putting the tack "close" doesn't work in this case I would still do that. But I was wondering if there was a clean way to make that electrical connection. I have a background in electronics and have been trying to think of some type of connector...

    Quick and easy way to swap a tach from saw to saw?

    I'll give that a try once... Thanks!

    Quick and easy way to swap a tach from saw to saw?

    So I finally bought a tach and I really like the idea of having it on the saw while in use, but now I wish there was an easy way to swap it to another saw. This one is the type that requires it to have the pick up wire wrapped around the plug wire. I've got some ideas of how it could be done but...

    Carry/fill chain oil without spilling

    I had been using the "diff lube" bottles too but kept losing the cap. Once you loose the cap it won't be long before you find the bottle tipped over and have a real mess. (The rear carrier box on my ATV will never rust again...;)) Now I use the bottles that lemon juice comes in from the grocery...

    Chainsaw Tuning 101

    Okay, so I can forget about achiving that type of instant acceleration:nofunny:- but is there a standard procedure to follow to make sure my saws are adjusted as best as possible in regard to that one aspect or is just a matter of trial and error adjusting the low speed jet and idle stop? I see...

    Chainsaw Tuning 101

    As long as this has been bumped, I also have a question... The acceleration on those saws in Brad's sample videos is amazing! Should a saw that only has a MM be able to attain that type of acceleration (when adjusted properly) or is it the modifications that had most likely been done to the...

    Two starting issues with Husqvarna 61

    My 362 was super hard to pull over and it was one of the pins on the flywheel had broken out of the flywheel casting. With only one pin for the starter pawls to engage it was forcing the starter assy off to one side up against the housing. You could still pull it over but it was a real arm buster.

    dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

    Hi Nick, Yes, I just replaced all the fuel lines/purge bulb as well as the oil lines from the tank to the oil pump on one of smaller 41cc models. That took care of hot start issues I was having as well as the extreme oil leaks. The oil lines from the Ryobi RY10532 fit just fine (thanks...
