40cc Shoot Out

[thomas1]

How do the others start compared to the 420? I know the determining factor in my purchase was my dad's shoulder injury, the quick jerking motion of a regular saw is a no-go.

Tell him to nip it in the bud or his ass is shark bait.

They all started easily even after raising compression. I don't notice that sort of stuff much........but if I had an injured shoulder I would consider an easy-start version.

Now if I only knew the true weight of a 346xp OE so I could tell if this adventure down the CAD road is worth it.

I would say you made a good choice in the RedMax. It does have a bit more vibration than the Dolly but it's lighter and a bit faster.

Fixed the vids.

I knew my memory was missing on that Redmax model when I mentioned this thread in the other.

Well, so sad that the MM ported 241 stuff was lost.

Have you ported an Earthquake that is equivalent to the GZ4000?

I had fun reading through this thread !!

I've never seen an Earthquake....

The Earthquake is not equivalent to the GZ4000, rather to the non-strato G3800. Same chassis construction.

Dam, this thread runs out just when we get to the good part, EARTHQUAKE.

I only mentioned Earthquake saws b/c of all the really insanely long threads on several forums about guys buying them up for really cheap on Ebay. Seems that the endless supply of $50 defective and returned Earthquakes has dried up now though (90% of them going to chainsaw forum geeks by the 2s and 3s). I thought for a second there that the Earthies might be worth looking at... if they were based on the GZ4k and if MM had dolled one up. Apparently not.

There is an amusing thread on another forum where TBone built a Chicom 361 for cheap with mostly knock-off parts. Seems to run well. I have to wonder if there are enough Chicom 241 parts out there to paste together a 40cc TB241 CM saw (CM: ChicoM).
