insurance man "wood" not like me! lol
Did a timing advance on my "almost stock" 066 today (previously just had a muff mod). Feels real good in my test wood, but I need to find a real log to give it a good test with that 36" bar. I also need to replace a bar stud on it.
Need to cut down a couple of small dead Ash for someone tomorrow, so nothing there to test it on there. Although the house this guy purchased supposedly has the oldest White Oak tree in Putnam County. It is big, but I think the Dover Oak is larger (in Dutchess County on the Appalachion Trail).

How much do you take off the key to advance the timing?
looks good guys. guess i should have been there for the plunge cut class.
I usually take .020 off the key, but since the crank on this one is thicker, but the outside of the flywheel seems about the same, I took .025 off this time.
Most Stihl benefit from a timing advance, but not all saws do. For example it is often not recommended on Husky 372s. I guess they come with enough already.
I think most saws can benefit. It's not something I've messed with yet but it's definitely free horsepower. I might look into my 142 after we test it with just the muffler mod first. Unfortunately there's not much info on that saw but for a cheapie I've been impressed so far.

Next class Cable and come a long X 3 2 smalls and one about 18 inch
I don't need any of them to hang up in the canopy
or land on the septic.
Now with that ..... I am no instructor
I put up a video one time I got comments from you didn't need a cable - a plunge cut is a waste of time - why are you using steel wedges - my favorite is I need to buy a stihl saw
every tree is different I must see it in person to assess I can only tall you if you show up with ten fingers you will go home the same way

I'll be back Monday if you go again. I'm off the next two Sunday nights so I won't be wore out by noon.

Weather permitting I will be there
let me know Dave. i have some 2 stroke mix that i need to get rid of.
weather hasn't been to good for field work and after this weekend it won't be much better. shoot me a text/directions/address.
Scrounged saw that needed 99 cents of fuel line and a little elbow grease to clean it up. Just need two replacement screws and a new chunk of oiled foam and it's completely ready to go.

Sound like a good deal. I'd spring for the extra motor, also.

Thanks!
Just a newcomer to the whole wood scene, let alone gas splitters. Learning as I go and it's not an issue for me to clean/rebuild a carb on the Honda.

I bet that 262 is a lot of fun. I've toyed with getter my one but with the 562 it's kind of a duplication. Maybe have one ported and one not but with a muffler mod to run in different classes.
Yes. Pay him now!
