Hahahhaha

Why not rev ya saw, any reason why not? I know several in which ya should but none as to why you shouldn't. Someone doesn't know the tricks of the trade. Thats ok though , most non-users don't,LOL

Just got back from putting a clutch + drum, tank valve and a different b+c on the partner 500. Well I started it up and vroooomed at least 5 times to warm it up (boy i am a idiot by spaces standards) then I did it at least 3-5 more times before the test cuts. Then I held the saw up toward space and cracked the throttle it at least 4 more time for all of space to see. :hmm3grin2orange:

LOLOL, now now, LOL

Oooh! I have another idiot saw story!

I was going to a Menard's one time, and there was a guy out front with a little plastic Poulan Woodshark or wildthing, or whatever the heck. He had it choked, pulled numerous times, and when it started, he tach'ed it out right away. Didn't even let the saw warm up, just started trying to show off with that tiny little thing, and decreasing his engine life. Didn't even cut (I don't know what he was trying to cut on the concrete in front of the Menard's, maybe a 4x4 or something). Just held the saw in the air and ran it wide open, while getting a lot of looks from people walking in. When it's warm out, I let all my saws warm up for a little bit before cutting. When it's around or below freezing, I wait a minute at least of idling for it to warm up. In that time, I get other things ready, like grabbing my gloves, and ear protectors (sorry, I don't like ringing ears after I cut, and I don't like itching hands when I don't wear gloves on a saw without antivibe). Not a big deal to let the saw warm up, for me, and I bet I'm increasing the engine life a little bit. In my opinion, it is more important to let it warm up for a while when there's snow on the ground.

And also, I own a few Kawasaki's. I have a tiny little 1985 Kawi 185 four wheeler, and a 1986 Kawi KLR250 liquid cooled enduro. I had a '77 KE100 enduro for a while. And someone on a road about 1.5 miles away is on a loud four wheeler right now, and I can hear it inside my house. :bang: Sorry, but I like performance ATV exhaust when it sounds like performance exhaust, and not like someone unbolted their header on the engine. The one up the road sounds like they took their header off. Anyway, back to the original topic...

I've had one saw in my life that required pumping the throttle, and it was because the carburetor needed rebuilt. If your saw is tuned right, pumping does nothing. It only wastes fuel, makes irritating noises, and makes you act a fool. :hmm3grin2orange: I have nothing against revving before cutting, just the stupid pumping half a dozen times of the throttle.

I didn't say that folks who wriggle their trigger are idiots, just that it really annoys me. :hmm3grin2orange: It's the same as teenagers who throw their cars in neutral and hammer the throttle at stop lights.

 

[RaisedByWolves]

Huh, Then I wonder why ALL the pro moto-X and super-X riders have someone to stand next to them on the starting line to blip the throttle while they get ready for the start.



Buncha idiots.

I'm speaking of general use, not racing. That's like comparing a funny car launch to a Monday morning commuter take off. Also, starting at a specific time would require keeping the engine in a certain rpm range in order to dump the clutch at once in the most effective range--not necessary when you have no specific starting point.

 

[squisher]

lolol oh that's good. Spacemule it is annoying. Back when I was treespacing my old foreman actually fired a guy for cutting air. Couldn't figure out how this guy would burn six to seven tanks a day and barely get any ground covered so one day he snuck up and watched him working and sure enough cutting more air than wood. That idiot got fired.

At least I'm not the only one with reasonable senses. :hmm3grin2orange:

This comes from Madsens web sit. For hot start saw racing.
Go up to the log and rev it up 10 times or so, and then start your cut. They have a reason for it , but I will leave that to you to look up. Might try it myself. :hmm3grin2orange:

I read that a couple of years ago from their website. If I recall, they suggested doing such to try and win a race illegitimately, i.e., not making the fastest cut, but fooling the timer into shorting the racer some time by getting started before he's able to hit the start button. Seemed dirty to me.

Well lets talk about motocross engines.. Most if not all are REED induction Most saws Not all are Piston Port. Typically a REED induction engine has a habit of puddling fuel in the intake this is why they blip their throttles as to not have a doggy or over fueled start. A bit ago someone mentioned the bog that a MS192T Stihl has when starting a cut... HMMMMM it is a reed engine isn't it?

Just my .02

Well Space believe it or not after doing a long cut in a block of wood or when milling a alittle rev after the cut will actually cool the saw down alittle by getting that extra shot of cool fuel while not under a load. If you ever had to the unlucky pleasure of owning a 009 Stihl you will either learned to rev it after it idles abit or your in for some agervation. That saw due to its design sorta fills up with fuel in the cylinder after long idling. The rev up clears out the cylinder. I know you may think its all non-sense to rev a saw out of the cut but it does has some small bennifits to it. Note I'm not talking full throttle but short revs and nothing more..

Ah, I see. All but one of my saws have been Huskys and Dolmars. I'm not entirely familiar with Stihl inadequacies. :hmm3grin2orange:

Hahahaha, good one. However my friend those too bennifit from a little rev after a long cut, gotcha,:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Yeah, Yeah, Just pokin at ya!


But My monday commutes do looklike drag race starts.

Are there any models or brands that idiots have a propensity for liking? Why so?

Yep Stihl

Well spacemule I had my fun with your post to say the least. Just one word of caution, IF you ever get to go to watch a hotsaw event or to a local gtg. I wouldnt dog the guys on cracking the throttle on the saws. You may go away looking like the idiot. Vroooom vroooom Vrooooom VROOOOOM

And there is an old rule to "never show a sign of weakness"!

Not that it would happen, but could you imagine how mush fun it would be to cut around Spacy?

Hell knowing that, there is a chance that someone could run him off the mountain.

Vroooom Vrooooom Vrunnnn Spacy spacy spacy VROOOOM

I have an 011. It is the biggest pig on gas in a saw I've ever seen. I'm lucky to cut 2 8" oaks on a tank of gas with it. When I was cutting with it one time, a screw on the oiler vibrated out, and the chain caught it. Tore the ear off where the bolt goes. Tried to fix it, but it always leaks oil everywhere.
