Simonized saws.

[dhskier2]

I'm jumping on this thread right at the end... seems like people are happy with their saws. I know indiansprings will have his video's up soon with the saw arriving any day, but I did find this video and thought I'd put it up to whet the appetite.

And hopefully it wasn't posted previously. After page 18 I started jumping back and forth through the thread following conversations until I reached the end. Could have missed it!

Simon I talked to you last night on the phone about getting a 372xp done by you still in the plans but I purchased a new Solo 681 just alittle while ago would like to hear your thoughts is it possible to get some more out of this saw any possible piston upgrades 460/272 maybe have wider skirts what do you think

My knowledge on those saws is relatively limited buddy.

Just from what little I have talked to him via pm I find it hard to believe that Simon has limited knowledge on any saw. I would feel comfortable sending him anything I own.:msp_thumbup:

My saw holds the RPM the same way,,, and when broken in it will be even better,,,, Ive been running a 32" bar with semi-skip chain and it really amazes me how hard it pulls in solid hardwood,,, Lots of torque!!!!

Well, just had a good visit with Mr River Rat. He came by and brought his 460, its in really nice shape. Will be a good build off saw. He also brought a episian 064 piston to try, but the skirts are narrower then stock, so that's not going to work. Going to check out a Meteor.

BC build off eh. That would be cool, are you doing a 460 for the build off Simon?

For those that followed the thread and wanted to see the videos of the Simonized 460 before and after here is the link to the thread:http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/175805.htm

The saw rips, we've calculated a 39.5% inc.

Im sure Simon has some experience on me on 460's, will be my first one. But hey its not Rocket Surgery.

I think you would derive an equal amount of wisdom from the gravy. Don is a Canadian icon but his brain would fit comfortably in a shot-glass.

LOL, Don Cherry is a funny dude.

Gravy on fries, do you ever have Poutine?
