Miffed #%!!!&*

She all gumped up…

 

When you grab the saw before it dies and blip the throttle, does it have to clear out? Some smoke? If so, it's just loading up a little with excessive fuel..
That can have a couple of causes..
But first order of business would be to lean out the low side needle a tad..
This should raise the idle rpm's a bit.. If too high, back the idle screw out to get em back down..

 

Sounds to me like somebody thought it had value if a used saw brought within $100 of what it was new.

Go spin on your flippy caps.

 

I never rant or start trouble..so IDK what you are talking about !!

 

Said guy is 24 years old has 5 kids w/3 different women, comes to work on Monday and gets his 2 loads in-never to be seen again till next Monday, drives a F350 diesel and never hauls more than chainsaws and gas, his personal vehicle is a Ford Excursion, and he wonders why hes always broke. He no too bright ! Old mans ready to send him down the road.
Go spin on yur non starting 372POSXP!

 

One must be smarter than the machine he runs...
Get well soon JW...

 

There, fixed it for you.

I hatem so much I bought this one yesterday. And it has flippy caps that don't $uck.

 

It's so purdy!!!!
And a Techlite bar to boot!!
Nice saw

 

Oh.. You gonna love that saw...
And that bar!!!
It's what I got on mine...

 

Thanks, it's not new now.

Did some break in yesterday running WOT making bucking cuts with the bar buried in order for the auto tune to set up the run parameters. While I was at the saw shop, I couldn't pass on this little top handle for pruning in my apple orchard in about a month. Gave $125 for it and the bar on it is the original.

Echo 330T

 

Stihl sucks!!

 

I've never owned a Stihl with flippy caps so I don't know if they suck or not. If I did and they sucked I wood reach into the parts bin and change them out for some non-sucking caps !

 

Sorry,,, I can't see or hear anything east of the Catskills !

 

I don't know if your are trolling for a response, but I will bite and answer. Stihl flippy caps can't be changed out and replaced with a conventional cap as the means of securing it is cast into the tank. It is not threaded. The new Husky caps are threaded and can be exchanged for a conventional cap as they are identical except for the tab that aids in turning. Personally I only screw in caps hand tight and don't need a tool either.

 

Will the Husky flip caps fit on the Jreds?

 

Seems like a decent price on that Echo. Let us know how you like it

 

Well I tried it out, starts and runs perfect, even was able to make plunge cuts with it although one would never need to do that. I like the layout of the controls better than traditional one control lever on Husky and Stihl. The on/off switch is just that, the choke is a pull on off and anywhere in between and the trigger lock is separate too. Extremely simple with no linkages between the features.

 

Not being the brand loyal type,
I try to take good care of all my tools & equipment.
Seems they last a long time & work when needed.

To let a 5 year old tool make me angry, (or any tool) seems , well, counter productive .
I was taught, I'm the one who makes me angry, still seems true, for me anyway.

 

The point here was missed by all really. My business takes up at minimum 60 hours a week. 9-10 months out of the year sometimes 80 or 90 hrs/wk. Time is $. I don't have time to eF around yanking on a saw period. Especially a like new saw.
I'm doing the old man a favor cutting his wood because he can't. This is the second in the 2 we have owned between us hard starting 372XP . I specifically told him to buy a Stihl and to recall the problems with the previous 372XP . We have not had a single problem with the many Stihls we have bought over the years.
My solution to this problem is not cut his wood unless my saw is handy . He can pay dewfus with 5 kids to cut his wood and we will see what kinda saw he buys next.
I'm not miffed at the saw or Husky. I'm miffed that I wasted my time yanking on a proven to me through experience POS and the fact that my old man bought it and then another new one. If 2 out of 2 Husky saws weren't a problem this post would have not happened.
