More Pics So heres some more photos... On the second image I highlighted where the previous homeowner had an arborist come in and top the tree about 25 years ago which has actually healed in quite well. So well in fact that I hadnt noticed it until I talked with a neighbor that has...

Mac From a guy with 70+ saws.... Ill take that as a high compliment to my saw and try my best to treat it accordingly. :good: I have to agree it does sound awesome once you kick the de-comp off. One question as I was looking over it today for that carb pic... How would you recommend...

More Pics First off thanks Brian for the video post to further explain tuning...very helpful and now I just need to find a nice log like wildman to run a couple passes in! That is a very easy rule of thumb to follow heimannm.... Ill of course have to run a couple tanks to know if Im over...

In the cut Thanks for the further explanation promac. I was looking for exactly that type of description and understand how difficult it can be to tell someone in words a specific sound. Your description definitely makes sense and Ill have to work with the saw more to familiarize myself with...

Oiling Im glad I asked about the oiling as I wasnt oiling nearly that often. Thanks for the reply as well about the over rev. Is it possible to damage the motor it such a situation assuming the saw is under load? Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing. Saucy

How Does She Sound? I got my chain sharpened finally and attacked the hazelnut tree in the backyard that has been in decline since we moved in. Took a little adjustement on both the low and high screws to run smooth but I thought Id post her running and see what you thought... Im not sure if...

Rad Photos The contrast in those photos is really great! Looks like your carving the clouds up there!

Nice work Compliments on the build... That thing is shiny and oh so sweet! Hope your wood stove is cranking down there and happy new years!

460? Wow That makes sense about the sproket...thanks for the explanation! And that 460 is one hell of a saw! (Watching it at work on youtube)

More speed captain! So Im assuming the sprocket will speed up the chain on the saw (compared to a solid bar) ? What would the other pros and cons be? :stupid:
