There is a good running husky 2100cd that has been on craigs list cor months... The guy wants $450 for it. Any thoughts on that price?
If you guys dont think its crazy, and its still there when I get back, I might make an offer.

If it's a good runner then I'd go with it.

I love my luck. My dad (a die hard stihl man) has offered to buy my 034. When he heard I was selling it, he offered me $250, just what I was going to ask for. Thats two stihls I have sold him now.... LOL

I am going to find a husky 61/262/266/268/272 and make that my main firewood saw. If I get the 61, I would put a 272 top end on it. Who knows, I might send it to mastermind some time.

You may want to see about purchasing a saw in the US and have it shipped directly to Randy/Mastermind. Should save you a bundle on shipping one way.

Heck you may want to call him.. he may have something kicking around his shop already to save shipping one way all together! A ported saw by Randy is an amazing thing; he really has a way with saws.

Least I got one whacker running good. The one I put all the new stuff in,runs great !

That other POS ? Bout got to tear it apart to do a vac test ! May just be the first thing I send out of here not right ! Runs fine today ? Yesterday , ran like **** ! Day before ran great ! :bang:

Anyone happen to know how to get the clutch drum off a FS45 ? ? ? ?

that reminded me of a question i got. i kinda sorta feel comfortable tuning a chainsaw but a weed wacker is another thing. without the 4-stroke to screaming threshold you get with a saw i'm not quite sure how to adjust the H screw. any tips would be welcome.

Not much diff than a saw..
xcept there aint much slowin down in the cut.
tune it to scream them a tad to the rich for a little drop in rpm and you wont fry it.. :)
i always send em out on the rich side,,people always run em wide open and a few less rpm aint no big deal..

HHHhhmmmmmmmmm,,,,,,................

I like the stuff i read on Randy's work..
we started porting seriously about the same time,,even traded some info.
my porting on 2strokes started in 1984 so i had a jump..
Randy has went a LOT further than me on the saw side ..
you can see from his pix how nice a job he does,,while mine is more crude,, ( ask John :) "..

after porting 2strokes around 500cc for years i began to find that sometimes a LOT of work above and beyond didnt yield "that" much more for the effort..
seemed like a good basic job would get %80 of a wild balls to the wall job..

so when you have a $400 saw how much do you want to pay somebody to make it work like it has ?? 10 more cc ??
A mild job done with a dremell and a muff mod and a good chain can be very satisfactory for an end user..
sorry but 2 seconds faster in a 18 in log aint to me worth a couple hundred dollars or more....................
that buys a LOT of gas and oil !!

Just something to consider when you have to pay for a saw,,then pay for work on it,then pay shipping ,etc..

Well, I have a chance at a masterminded 372xp, direct from the monkey himself.
I just need to scrape together another 100-150 bucks, and I can pull it off. I might have to find another saw to sell..... LOL
Anyone have thoughts on those... LOL
