Wasn't there a thread on throttle blipping last summer? Seems to really bother the crap out of some folks. Like finger nails run across a chaulk board.

I think it bothers Spacy? He may have started the thread?

You know what Harley Davidson's and German Shepards have in common?
They both like to ride in the back of pickup trucks

Did you ever work around someone who constantly blipps the throttle on a saw when its not in the cut! Brrmmmmmmmm----- brummm --brrumm--brummm,constantly! drives me nuts!
It is interesting to listen to people in the distance cutting wood. You hear bogging and rocking to make the saw cut and that throttle blipping. Ocassionally you hear someone cutting that you can envision as knowing how to run a saw and sharpen a chain.
Believe it or not a little blipping helps the saw cool down after a long cut. I know the type of guy your referring to and yes thats annoying. However after going through a long long cut a few blips helps that engine cool down abit. The only thing that cools the enigine is the flywheel and that fresh charge of fuel coming in the intake. Blipping doesn't amount to a lot but its proven to help some in cooling down a hard worked engine.

dumping and blipping
So True, So True! I see the dumping banging disease a lot. I seen a guy at the stone quarry up the road from me do that, It's stone, it slides right out of the bucket. He's over there bang, bang, bang, bang every time he dumps. It is a 980G cat. The cylinder's probably go out every month. I see a lot of chainsaw carvers with the blipping problem also.:chainsawguy: :chainsawguy: -like this guy(I think he has it bad). He just keeps doing it 24/7.LOLOL

I notice that it's generally not the really skilled chainsaw users that constantly blip, as the really good ones are pure efficiency instead of mindless habits. Although I agree that a blip or two after a messy or noodle cut makes sure the saw is clear. But somehow when I do it it must be okay, as my blip doesn't stink.
How about how electric guitar players reach down and touch their volume knob ever few seconds, even when they are not adjusting it.

I admit to occasional 'blipping' but as mentioned by someone above it is used to clear any built up chips/dust in my nose sprocket etc. etc. before the next cuts and make sure I have the snap dialed in and oiler cleared too, then there are chronic blip-a-holics too, another beasty entirely. :chainsawguy: "blip :chainsawguy:

blipping fix
Wait a miniute, I'm old enough to remmember how we fixxed/eliminated the need to blip in the old time saws. We adjusted the idle up to where the saw ran the chain all the time. Todays saws can idle without ingaging the clutch to move the chain then again todays saws have chain brakes also to stop the chain. Maybe they blip to watch the chain spin. If you don't blip the chain stops spinning on todays saws.
Listening to someone blip is annoying, be it a saw, bike, weedwacker, hedge trimmer or whatever. If your going to rev the saw, nail it in some wood when you squeeze the trigger.

I love it, every timberfaller who limbs quick does it - it is a sign of speed - keeps the chain speed up for the next limb.
The slow guys will only hit the throttle at a limb - I among many other production cutters pop it.
Besides, when your saws sounds awesome - the responsive rap off the throttle is ear candy.
Nothing better the a hill side full of 8 cutters popin' the throttle - from a distance it sounds like a swarm of bees.

One of the old fallers I learned a lot from called it "jacking off your saw".
His theory was that there is only so many revolutions in the life of a motor, so why would you want to waste them not cutting?
