and it worked better than I could have imagined. I got the wide clutch cover before I read that it doesn't clear noodles as well as the standard one, but had no desire to spend the bread on another. I can't imagine I'm the first to do this, but any of my searches came up empty. I just drew a line on the cover at an angle that wouldn't look all badgered up and went to town on it with a hacksaw and a file. 2 minutes later and I had this.
It clears noodles far better than even the standard cover with almost nothing getting thrown forward. chips out the back basically fly straight back so it may not be for everyone, but works just fine for my purposes. my noodle pile ends up 15 feet behind me rather than at my feet! I tried it on both green and seasoned wood with the 32" bar / 8 pin rim fully buried and had no clogging issues whatsoever. I guess I should have gotten video, though...maybe another day.
I make all my boards by noodlin...this trail has roughly an 1/8 mile of boardwalk like this.
Edit: oh yeah, I burned three tanks of fuel in the 200T on the ground and did not saw my face or even have a single kickback...just sayin. :msp_ohmy:
