    Best way to make point on splitter wedge?

    I took boiler plate of various widths and laminated them together, stepping down as I moved away from the center. I think the center was 1.5", welded in the center of the 1.5" stock and then a 1" strip on either side, followed by .5 on the outside. All are welded to the 1.5" plate and the gap...

    Has anyone tried R/C fuel in a saw?

    The smaller .21 and under motors will turn over 40k rpm. http://www.novarossi.it/eng/products/engines/top/specs.php?name=T12LT5/M&brand=top http://www.osengines.com/engines/osmg1990.html 2 examples if you are interested. I personally run an OS outboard that says the practical range...

    Does the Stihl or Husqvarna start easier?

    Can't speak specifically to the saws, but both Husky's start easy regardless of how long they have sat. I have 3 pieces of Stihl power equipment, none are saws, and they all are far more involved to start and very cold natured. I suspect Stihl sets the carbs a tad rich when new to promote...

    Has anyone tried R/C fuel in a saw?

    I am an RC boat racer. There has been discussion on one of the boards about running nitro fuels in the 26cc Zenoahs. I haven't followed it too closely, but there are guys that are doing in and not burning the motors up. I don't think it has went over real well though. Just FWIW, the motors...

    Building a splitter

    This is a good opportunity to mention my project. We are building a splitter and have a 15.5 hp engine. We have given thought to belt driving a shaft and coupling the shaft to the pump. We have looked at 22gpm pumps and 28. The advantage would be the ability to overdrive the pump given...

    Looking for a truck

    You definitely want Carfax. Carfax paid for itself many times over in saving gas to go look at trucks, and finding issues that had been repaired that were deal breakers. I don't think Carfax is 100% accurate, but it is another tool in the selection process. You should be able to find a...

    Indiana wood sellers:

    Down here around the Louisville area, it is pretty prevalent by the "rick". I was always told that a rick was 1/2 cord, but damned if anybody sells the wood over 18" and most are closer to 15".

    Another home built splitter question.

    I'm guessing the size of the port opening to be near 1". I have no idea on the pressure rating. They are in one of these out of the way industrial salvage yards. The guy that runs the place seems like a straight-up old timer, which is good. He claimed that they are $1k cylinders new. He...

    Another home built splitter question.

    I have run across a number of cylinders that I am consider for a splitter build. They are 5" diameter w/a 3 inch shaft. They are double acting and supposedly brand new. They have screw on caps though. That is throwing me for a loop. Are they indeed hydraulic? Maybe pneumatic? Are they a...

    One hot AK-47!!!!!

    A Colt HBar, a RRA 24" varmint with a lower built by me and 2 stage trigger, and a Spike's tactical 22lr upper on a DPMS lower built by me. Needless to say, the 22lr is the one that gets the workout with ammo prices what they are.

    One hot AK-47!!!!!

    Yeah, I realize that you can get your class 3 permit and own the full auto stuff. I am also familiar with the AR15 as I own several. It is just a bit of culture shock here as I found out about this site reading a chainsaw thread on the webs largest gun forum and now I'm reading a gun thread on...

    15% I have WARNED YOU........ E15

    Well, this takes me back to a question I asked a while back. Can you run your saw on camp gas, white gas, lantern fuel, etc. I race RC boats with 26 cc zenoah's and a lot of guys run camp fuel in them. It is supposedly 55 octane which supposedly runs better in the zen's anyway. No alky...

    Stump grinder for "Ike" stump removal

    Hi all, Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I wanted to try to get right to the point. I live is a smaller subdivision and when "Ike" blew through Indiana it took a fair amount of our trees with it. We have numerous maples, oaks, pine, bradfords and assorted other that have been...

    AVGAS ??'s

    Well, I'm the new guy here, but I want to chime in on this one. One of my hobbies is RC boating. The gas guys run zenoahs and there has been discussion on high octane auto fuel as well as very low octane "coleman fuel". These guys claim that running the high octane stuff in a low compression...

    source for zenoah sized alternative

    Not a chainsaw question per se. I run model boats and the popular choice is the zenoah g260. Is there a comparable size and power motor out there that can be sourced. There seems to be all sorts of shortcomings on these motors, but some builders are getting well over 5hp out of them...

    Husky fuel line

    Yeah, the muffler too. Can anyone tell me if there is a reason the Husky line is coiled. I was going to go the wood pile this morning when I got off of work. But, when I got home to get the saw, it wouldn't start again. A little checking revealed that the soft silicone? fuel line had...

    Husky fuel line

    Hi. I'm new here. The 261 to 262xp conversion is now on the list of things to do. In the mean time, I want to know what makes the pigtail fuel line so special? My saw wouldn't stay running at the wood pile and then refused to start at home. After changing the plug, checking the filter...
