Sorry being a bit vague in my last post . To much lay on the chain to the left or right off center can cause these problems you describe . I aim for as close as I can with out pinching thw drive link to avoid burning up bars . Alternatively uneven bar rail tops will cause the same symptoms...

Sounds like uneven bar rails or worn bar groove. I close my bar grooves up as apart of regular preventative maintainence. Might be worth a look . Good luck safe climbing

F@$k.... what a mess ...Hope it's all going well . No wind storms here just snow on top and cold. Thoughts are with you fellas.

As far as breaking .50 gauge chains on a 500i I run 20inch .50 gauge on 3 of my 395s and a 394 and a 3120. Only broke one chain and it worn out start with. For what it's worth I love the narrow kerf for my application least amount of wood taken the better and quicker . Good luck with it . Enjoy...

Added to that air will take the path of least resistance I.e through the AF so no real need for a gasket on the side . Love to see it finished father in law has one unfortunately I'm afraid it's in need of more than gaskets .Good luck with it

Most of the solid inlet manifolds I have worked on only ever had 1 off the cyl and 1 in between carb and manifold adaptor. Can't say I recall a gasket between carb and Air filter mount. Could be wrong

Good on ya for sticking with it mate all paid off . It's end results like this that makes this site great !

Well a lot of fellas round here making good money out of saw grade logs mainly local tho, not sure how exports is going tho I can say not as good as it was. Has been rumblings of another big chipper getting put in to but I believe it won't accept logs off small contractors , which leaves me to...

Listen to the little man on your shoulder and buy it ......you always have room for more . And when the she'd is full just bring them in the house .... it's fine......and when the house is full kick the dog out and put them in there too. Running or not running I follow the pirates code "take...

Well it's been a long time since my last upload so here is a bit of what has been happening since first photo is a log I was gifted for firewood... chain killer 2nd photo is a load of split posts 3rd photo is a piece of white mahogany set up to mill .

That is an epic gen shed ! Brilliant job

Well I ran an 088 with a 30" .404 on it both bar and chain were both new and it would have had to of cut and headed a good 20 or 30 load of logs and it ran really nice . Mind you I run the oiler flat out in those woolly bark species just to help out . One would hope quality isn't to blame . Was...

Have had a 661 with a dodgy oiler as a dump saw for awhile . Not a big fix easy enough to do . Water in the oil tank was the cause . Condensation over hot days cool night's and poor oil was the demise of the oil pump. Hope some of that helps .

Well I was taught from watching blokes who knew what they were doing . All Humboldt scarfs and found a tall stump and put tank after tank threw just practising angles and cut depths and learning where the end of my bar was as so I didn't over cut . I guess we all do things differently and...
