Kiwi cutter
ArboristSite Lurker
It all started so innocently, so long ago. It was so subtle I didn't see it was happening until.. the reality hit me. I LOVE cutting wood!
I only wanted to keep my family warm through winter, and lets face it the only way to go is wood. And then, to make it as economical as possible, you look at cutting your own wood.
So a chainsaw is required and then you fell your first tree, limb it and ring it and then it hits you and it's too late! It crept up on you.. you suddenly realize you LOVE cutting wood and you LOVE using a chainsaw and before too long you just LOVE chainsaws.
So you look for a place that can answer all your questions and you log on to a site with the seemingly innocent name of 'Arboristsite'.
Firstly you spend months just dayly checking the latest posts and reading the ones of interst. You don't want to get too involved, better to remain anonymous.
Then you start reading the post history to find answers to all the questions you have.
Then you realize once again - Oh no, I'm in too deep, I want to know more, I have so many questions to ask, I'll have to sign up.
So I have. I've finally done it. Hello to you all from Kiwicutter.
It all started with an old McCulloch Wildcat that was given to me after not going for some years and a few peoples attempts and then after I got it going and used it for a while I came across some big logs of gum. All these logs were between 30-50 inches in diameter. So a 3120xp with a 42in bar was aquired as the tool of destruction. I LOVED it! It screamed and it mowed through the logs. Then it needed a new c.d.i., which I got. Suddenly it was not the dream saw anymore. It bogs down and stops in the middle of the log - it doesn't howl anymore. They went and put a rev limiter in the c.d.i.
Which brings me finally to the reason for me joining and therefore this "brief" hello which has turned into a complete novel.
Does anyone have any specific mods I can do to my 3120 to get it's old self back.
Thankyou very much!
