Sorry, but I have no idea what you're specifically trying to say, maybe a bit of a language barrier?
Yeah, I haven't experienced that before, but perhaps it is.

I would guess most of those saws are long gone. The worst was the spun bearing problem, which ment a new case. The carbs were also pretty bad with erratic idling. A run of bad cylinders and overheating didn't help. Again that stuff has been fixed.Only 50cc that pulls 3/8 full comp to my liking. There is a size/weight penalty though. Good compliment to a 70cc or larger saw, but too big to be a true "small" saw. Good all arounder IMO. I've worked on quite a few of them now and haven't experienced the problems that people claim. I have quite a collection of 5100, 5105, 510, and 460 parts now so I'm sure I'll see what all the complaints are about at some point.
I’ve always been pretty good at adjusting carbs, but I plan on putting some fresh 50:1 mix in it tomorrow and re-tune.You need to find that out yourself, that's a part of the threat package. Look for carburetor tuning in this forum - I could tell you what I know but what difference would that make?
So the H445 is now house stained free, but you personally reject it as "not good enough" because you are just "better"?
Andyshine77 was responding to the "Why not?" in your quote - talking about the 5105, not your h445. I was a bit confused too before taking a second look at it.
Good deal, they make great torque for 50cc, and are very smooth.I went out to the shop and fine-tuned it tonight. Runs perfect!
I'd say you did very well, paid about that much for my beater 5100, which needed some parts and work. One good thing about the that saw, it has the torque to pull a 20" bar in hardwood, most other 50cc saws are not all that happy with that configuration.I paid 125.00 for it, so I guess I did ok. Need a new chain, though.
Thanks, Andy! I will try to find an 18” chain for it tomorrow.I'd say you did very well, paid about that much for my beater 5100, which needed sime parts and work.

That's what I run.[emoji106]Thanks, Andy! I will try to find an 18” chain for it tomorrow.
Saw shops used to make chains around here, but only a couple places that do it now. Cost 26.00, so not too bad.Yeah 64 drivers, which is a bit of a nuisance if you don't make your in chains.
The 5100 is rev limited, tuning in the cut or with a tachometer is the best option. Caution must be used! the limiter can sound like for stroke burble if you're not familiar with the sound, and you can go too lean trying to clean up that burble.On older saws, I used to adjust the high carb adjustment until it had a little “burble” at high speeds, but on these newer saws, I don’t get that, but I don’t want them to “scream”. I think I have the 5105 about right. I’d rather have it a little rich. Opinions welcome on this. I don’t have a tach.
Thanks! I’ll open the high a little more to see how it sounds. I don’t have the burble, but it sounds about right.The 5100 is rev limited, tuning in the cut or with a tachometer is the best option.
