    ebay is better as when you do have issues, I have never had a problem not resolved when a case was opened. bought a 372 kit from hutzl awhile back. of course it was missing parts also, so contacted them got all the part numbers of what was missing and they wanted me to place another order with...

    Help me choose a hydraulic pump

    sounds like you dont want to spend alot would probably remove it and see what type of shaft size and splines it has find out rotation and see if surplus center would have anything that would match up in similiar size in a single stage pump add a mount and maybe with a little luck it wont cost...

    Porting and torque

    well if my math is right the 372xp rated at 5.3 hp at 9600rpm is making about 2.90 ft lbs of torque at 9600 rpm not alot. if after porting the hp increases to say 5.6 at 10000 rpm would be 2.94 ft lbs of torque at 10000 rpm. but what if its 5.6 hp at 10500 rpm then it would only be at 2.80...

    dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

    never really understood why you would raise the exhaust the base gasket is thin on these anyway, but if you was intending on getting more compression from leaving the gasket out wouldnt you leave the exhuast port height the same or retarded.

    dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

    well its not the 5 dollars that will break us but the 140-160 that we spend buying 4 of them that we dont really need or have a use for, hopefully they will all be sold out soon.

    What caused such destruction? Piston installed the wrong way in? (engine pr0n)

    good chance it damaged just due to the piston being installed backwards putting the ring gap at the intake port.

    dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

    ya it is heavy but it is a large muffler about twice the size it needs to be, 3 pieces crimped together with a small piece of what looks like steel wool attached to the center section in the lower part of the muffler the exhuast flows through.

    EFCO Brand - Please leave me your feedback!

    Besides advertising efco really needs more dealers and a better parts distribution. 5 yr warranty is great if the parts are available to fix the saw, if there not, then its kinda useless while it may help efco sell more, but when there saw does need repair the long wait for parts has most...

    Electronic heated grips conversion to headlight. Anyone done it yet???

    seeing how you can buy leds with regulator already built in maybe something like this would work 4-18v dc input. Solar Force LC-XPG Cree R5 Single Mode Drop-In

    I there something wrong with Efco that im not aware of?

    have a couple, one is the jd version both have held up pretty well so far, broken brake band is the only problem ive had so far. even though they are good saws, lack of parts is reason enough to choose another brand.

    Dump Truck Load Price?

    I think option 2 would be the best deal considering the amount of work that may be involved on either one, atleast you should have decent wood when your done, slabs and scraps from the mill are ok even considering the burn time if there cheap enough, recently cut up a bunch of slabs they was all...

    sharpening frequency?

    I try to keep the chain sharp and touch it up every couple of tanks its usually still cutting pretty well though, so I could see going longer, but it usually doesnt take to long to hand file when its not really dull and is my main reason for doing it so often, dont mind hand filing but when you...

    Two identical inserts, one heats well, one poorly.

    interesting thread but my take on it is that its probably not the wood, but either the insert has problems or your flu has problems, I think you had it right in your first post if the longer flue did have a stronger draw the fire should be hotter wich would make your downstairs insert work a...

    Small Engines and Oil

    I wouldnt run synthetic either, but thats my preference, if you maintain the engine its probably going to last just as long running convential oil as it does synthetic.

    Small Engines and Oil

    If you dont know what the manufacturer recomends then I would probably run conventional for break in just to be on the safe side, then just switch to synthetic if thats what you want to use.

    Outdoor wood stove questions

    I think the bimetal manual draft may be the biggest problem to overcome dont really see how you would ever really get rid of the heat dump with a draft thats designed to continue to keep stove temp up as long as theres wood to burn, regardless if your house even needs it or not plus the waste of...

    Circulating warm air to other rooms?

    ya I would turn it around also so your pulling air from the bedroom and blowing it out above the stove you may need more cfm to make up for the bends and get it were you want it but its worth a try using your existing fan before upgrading. then assuming there is no closed doorways between your...

    How to move air?

    sounds like hes just using his existing central air ducting to circulate air through the house by installing a blower near the stove hes basicly causing the heat to move on out of the hottest room with the stove in it to all the other rooms wich could work while its not exactly a return and its...
