I love pike. Other than the texture it’s identical in taste to walleye.

Removing the y-bones takes practice. I pickle the smaller ones (under 3lbs) which dissolves the bones and only filet the larger ones for frying/poaching.
I ain't exactly Babe Winkleman. Pike are fantastic when you can't find the bluegills or the walleyes refuse to cooperate. My bil is a pike man and he pickles the little ones too.
 
What's a couple lbs between friends :lol: .
They really knocked the 462 out of the park.
My ported 372 xtorq with a wrap and the huge Safety Pro dogs was 18lbs full iirc :muscle:.
Probably 2lbs of pitch on the husky, lol. I did blow it off with air though ; )
 
Nice looking saw Nate, I guess that answers my question regarding how you like the 462!!!

They generally get stronger with a few tanks of break in.

I wish we lived closer, would like to compare mine (w/o front ports, but ported) to yours. I really like how they run!

The original side ports are opened up on mine, and one has addl venting in the side of the front cover (my 2 - 1/4" hole trick).
Thanks Mike

My other 462 with just the factory outlet opened

Yeah wish we were closer too, that would be fun.
 
I've got spare 20x3/8x.058, I also have chains in that size.
What did you pick up.
359 in need of a little tlc. Not sure why, but it looks right at home on the bench in a million pieces along with the other 5-6 unfinished projects I have started.

No more .058's, I'm loaded up.with .050 chains.

The 359 is a great saw for a 60cc saw, with a muffler mod, base gasket delete, and a Iittle timing advance they run very strong. The difference between stock and those mods is day and night! I don't run 60's much, most the time when I'm done with a 50cc saw I'm mostly bucking so the weight of a 70 doesn't matter much, when I get older that may change though :surprised3:.
 
Glad it's working well.
Seems when I get a chain tuned perfect it means I'm gonna hit something :rare2:.
This one does well for dead/frozen wood and bore cutting, but it's a bit slower than others for cutting green wood.

This one needs sharpening, but it's still cutting, it's on the bench now ready for the file.


Forgot to mention it a while ago

One thing I noticed, and I’m not sure if it’s because you used a grinder to sharpen it and the cutters got hot or something, it the tips of all the cutters were so darn hard I ended up ruining three files trying to get that chain touched up after the first use [emoji1787][emoji1787] Still a few left that are super hard

I was hoping to see it in a log cutting a cookie, hard to tell the actual speed noodling.
How about a long frozen cookie

Lol
After running both for the last 3 months the 462 is just a little faster with 28” and about the same with a 32” I feel like. I’ll try to get you some better cookie cutting comparisons.

Serious, I can't remember how many times I went around that chain, but I promise it was at least 4.
I've had chains that I couldn't get thru with a round file and had to use a flat file to remove enough material so I could use a round file :rare2:.
I can snag it up and run it thru the grinder again, I have a new CBN wheel on it now :).
