hey man, not for nothin' but this might be goin' a bit too far now. i say we give him a chance. i don't think he really did anything wrong but brag up a saw that we all feel is less than brag-worthy. JMHO
I agree with you. I took a stab at the OP on a previous post and I apologize for that. I followed the crowd when I shouldnt have. There is nothing accomplished criticizing another person unjustly. I think we have all been on both ends of this kind of mockery. The OP has only been on the site since Oct 2011 and he has alot to learn and yall have alot you can teach him. I read here for over a year and never posted until I met Randy and he encouraged me to join in the fun. Reason I never posted- I didnt feel I had any knowledge to share with you guys. I have learned alot from you all in the last year. And for the majority of the guys here in this thread- I have a high opinion of you. We can do better than how we have treated the OP. We all share a commonality here- the love of chainsaws. I know nothing about building them- thats why Mastermind is porting all my saws, but I still enjoy cutting my firewood, and running my saws- even if it's just revving them up in the garage. I appreciate what all of you contribute to the site. This is a global forum, we have people here from all walks of life, educational back grounds, and geographical regions. We dont have to agree with each other or understand each other, but we owe each other some level of respect as a human being. Again I apologize to the OP. Your saw clearly needs work, glad you posted the video, and these guys will help you get that thing running right. If you cant do it yourself- I know a great builder in TN.

hands down post-of-the-year!
i don't know if you noticed but you're a husky guy and you posted at 3:46. i thought it was cool
Thats funny I think it was chopperfreak that made me come out of the dark and start being an ACTIVE member of this web site!
No different than real life ,the service ,work ,the bar, it helps some times if you know someone or have a pal to drag you out of your shell.
Yup might me another al nighter.
cool, does that mean i'll get a 241C-M in the mail? BTW i don't know how i feel with all the blue husky emblems on my message wall. people are gonna start to talk. LOL
and why not? it was for me! LOL
squench is the 2012 word squish combined with quench = squench. Still wondering how I machine the squish band out to reduce the combustion chamber mill the base to lower the jug and keep the piston compression ring in the coated part of the cylinder? Intellectually challenged
DH......is that you?????
DH1984 or HILLBILLYREDNECK ?
i vote the offspring of the two (oops did i say that out loud???)
well then i apologize to you. i didn't intend my post to be an attack on you or any else either but looking back it does sound that way. i was not aware of another thread so i didn't know he kinda spit in your face after you tried to help him out. it really is none of my business i'll try to do a better job of remembering that in the future. it just seemed like in this thread he was getting it with both barrels and i felt maybe he wasn't given an adequet chance, i stand corrected.
I've been trying to help him, I've tried, in another thread, to explain why it was important to check the squish band on a saw he had problems with the cylinder bolts coming loose on. He reverently told me squish was some made up magic measurement we had made up and had no effect on the saw. Several of us attempted to show the error in this line of thinking, as well as him stating he'd do everything possible, including blowing up a saw, to win a race.
To this it was brought up about his age and mental capacity, and he told me to look at his photobucket to look at the machine work he has done in the past. I could not find his photobucket, but found out he's older than many thought, and doesn't seem to have a mental problem, at least no more than the rest of us do! Nothing anyone can't do with a google search, so no harm no foul there.
I'm all for helping, I'm all for sharing my knowledge and do so rather willingly and often. But when the people I am trying to help turn table on me saying I'm an idiot, as well as others trying to help as well, I tend to take offense to that.
So please excuse me as I will not jump on board with the apology band wagon with this poster!
group hug!!!!!
