That's really the meat of my question... you just asked it in a statement: What is the effect of different angles on the cutting performance of the chain. I'll just say 3/8" .050... because I don't really know anymore. All good quality chain, no cheap chinese stuff. All either Oregon or...

Hey guys, I was sharpening chains earlier today, and got to wondering about the effects of different angles. I sharpen everything at 25/55/0... and it's been working well enough forever. But, as sometimes happens, I started wondering if there was something better. I couldn't find much at all...

I've only ran 1 saw that I truly ever HATED, and that was a Husqvarna 131 I think. That thing was brand new junk. Favorites: Husqvarna 372xp McCulloch ProMac 6-10 Husqvarna 55 (not the Rancher) Homelite SuperXL Homelite XL-12 Husqvarna 395xp Least favorites: Husqvarna 131 I can't think of...

LOL, I kinda like figuring out problems like this. And to me, this one isn't a big deal, since I can kill the saw just as easily with the choke, but I just want it to work like it's supposed to. But I don't think it's the coil. Every once in a while, the kill switch will kill the engine, like...

Now you're thinking like me!! That's the next move tomorrow. Start taking stuff apart. It is. Cylinder base gasket leak could cause this?? Now that's wierd!!! LOL Coil base mounting screws to the cylinder read zero ohms. I'll look closer to see if there's a ground wire... I didn't notice...

Tomorrow looks like rain, so I'll dig into it deeper tomorrow hopefully. It has to be something simple. Like I said, everything obvious is checking out good, except for the the high resistance between the ground point in the airbox where the ground wire attaches and the engine/coil.

You're exactly right. That's the entire reason for this thread. All the obvious things check out. Why is there high resistance between the part of the saw body where the kill switch grounds to, and the coil/engine?

Yeah, like I said above, that all checks out. It's a head scratcher.

Yeah, that all checks out. Everything appears to be as it should be, at least without tearing into the saw further. There is something causing high resistance between the ground point where the black wire screws to the body and the engine/coil. That's why I'm wondering if the circuit path...

I've got a bit of a head scratcher... maybe you guys have seen this before. 395xp, kill switch will not stop the engine. Replaced kill switch. New kill switch does not stop engine. Get out multimeter. Good continuity from blue wire to coil. Good continuity from black wire to ground...

You read my mind. I got into the pile yesterday with the tractor and loader, and the pieces in the center of the pile are in better shape. It will make some great campfire wood.

I just bought 2 of them yesterday at Wally World. Yep, they're up to $4.34 now. They're great for adding oil to Predator's and Hondas and Chondas.

I definitely thought about doing that too. I'll make a final decision after I dig into the center of the pile and see what it looks like.

Hmmm... I don't know if I'd like a splitter with a wobbly head on it, LOL

You will like the X27 or the "Super splitting axe", whichever you get... they're the same tool, only the X27 has the orange on the handle, from what I can tell they are identical except for the orange. My only complaint about it is you can get some good "biteback" through the handle. But it's...

I've got a big silver maple tree that is cut an piled up, and I just didn't get to it in time to get it split and sold. Now it's starting to get punky. The centers are still solid, but it's getting punky but still solid about 1-2 inches around the outside. I don't want to scrap it because...

Ever since they came up with the "3 grades of fuel, 1 hose" dispensers, I always wondered what I was getting in that first gallon, LOL

Hey Del, I love your seed starting nursery!!! I've got a set of plastic shelves doing nothing... they will be PERFECT for setting up a system like yours. That is just Genious!! Are you using LED grow lights, or the fluorescent? I haven't started seeds for a few years now, I always had...

I'm surprised people are just now figuring this out...
