dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

[H 2 H]

When I get back from town (I need a roll of Copenhagen) I'll have to bid on a few more saw's :jester:

I got sniped as well, guess I'll have to watch more carefully next time. Prolly just as well because I just had to reposess a nice snowblower I had sold two weeks ago on a referral during the snowstorm. Guy was supposed to pay $300 last week and I didn't hear from him, called today and wife says he was having trouble with it, yea...piss on my leg and tell me it's raining... I said no deal and drove over and picked it up, couldn't help but notice his driveway and walk were perfectly clear, machine starts on second pull and works fine...looks like the trouble was paying me for it, I'll put it on CL for the $400 that it is worth and get cash this time(and buy quakes)

Sniped too, at the last second.

He'll have to list them lower than what he has them now if me is to get another one.....

me 3,, but i still got all 3 for my max bid of 23.00,, and i totally agree he needs to come down on the prices by a few bucks but i still will probably get a few more though,,, even at 50.00 total i can still make money

well do you all think it woke up???????????? she is extremely more responsive now,, i did a MM,, widened the exhaust port,,took out the base gasket and notched the high/low screws,, i went from 120 comp to 150,,got her richened up and this is what i have,, iwas even putting some downward pressure too

I got two of the three I was biding on

There was 20 minutes left on the clock when I went to town

Two is better than nothing I guess


Now to go check the auction site again

I did win one of the recent batch for $22.:msp_smile:

Might have to learn how to open up the muffler so it breathes better......

You have to use the official "ZOMBIE" can opener :taped:

 

[poorboypaul]

Definitely sounds a whole lot better. Cuts decent now too. And no, I didn't snipe any Quakes!:surrender:

 

[poorboypaul]

Just got my 4th one for 21.90. Bid this morning on the last one with no bid and forgot about it 'til I just checked.

 

[o8f150]

went from 33 seconds down to 14-16 per cut. looks like it is worth doing. Did you raise the exhaust port the thickness of the gasket to maintain origional port timing?:msp_confused::msp_confused:

i took the gasket out completely

 

[o8f150]

I casn see that all the money I saved on my saws will be spent on dremel bits.....:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Did you leave the screen on the muffler?

If you need some extra screens I have a few laying in the barn :msp_smile:

I got sniped too. It was mainly for ####s and giggles anyway. May have to wait to see if he lowers the price.

ok,, heres the one i got yesterday,, i am not going to take a lot of pics,, i fueled it and 2 pulls and it was running,, brand spanken new,, i did notice right off the bat it was doggy as heck,, it only blew 120 but we will see later on today what it will blow after i take the gasket out,,,also going to open the exhaust,, do some cutting on the carb so i can adjust carb and do a major MM,, later on today i will have the after vid and see how much of a gain we get,,, this vid is right out of the box,, you can here it has no balls,, i wasn't even pushing,all i did was let the weight of the saw push it through,, geeeezzzz,, a chipmunk has more balls

well do you all think it woke up???????????? she is extremely more responsive now,, i did a MM,, widened the exhaust port,,took out the base gasket and notched the high/low screws,, i went from 120 comp to 150,,got her richened up and this is what i have,, iwas even putting some downward pressure too

08, mine was no where near that doggy out of the box. I did run a tank or so through mine before I timed the first cookie, maybe that made some difference. Looks like you made some significant improvements on the little saw. Good work and thanks for posting it.
