Are you refering to the chain adjuster that is built in to the bar? If so and you are an "occassional user" than fine, if you're a commercial user than you will soon be ordering parts to retrofit it back to the conventional adjuster which is done through the side of the case. They don't last in heavy operation environments so be kind to it.

 

Ive got an 046 thats been ported and the exaust has been tweeked also, it friggin rips

 

Watch out for what we call the "Weepops" from a hot saw.


It's the sound they make right before they explode!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeee.....POP! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

What does that mean tree doc?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

LOL! I (my crews) make a living with the use of chainsaws. I know of guys that try and trick out their saws like your 046 but usually they go farther than the simple things. When they over-rev and scream, that's what they do when they explode....Wwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..POP! THat's it, Game Over! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

do you know of dave neiger, or the company ehp? they do some great work, they can modify almost any saw you want and do it right.

 

No, I'm unfamiliar with the name. I don't get into the "Hot Saw" stuff other than what I watch on ESPN occasionally. It's not a big thing out here on the Left Coast but it is fun to watch!
