Remove the metal backfire guard from the carb and the grey air filter sock

The white filter still works perfectly and airflow is much improved

You notice a climb in clean rpm and more power/torque, the increase makes what little power there is that much more usable

Tried your Ozito mod this arvo. Very impressed, revs harder and sounds the business. Thanks.

I got a 100ft roll of the Oregon 27RX. It works so well, and so few teeth to sharpen.

Not only that but the saw runs better with less load and it seems to clear better. Mind you this is Japanese cedar so it's not really hard. Once this is finished there's a black locust acacia which I'm certain will be a better test.

I've got a small outboard clutch oleo Mac that's due for a sharpen if I remember I'll photograph it

Yes, sad but true, occasionally we'll have a destination fucked! moment



I wondered what the wife was doing up on the ridge dancing about like a mad woman

Turns out she was trying to tell me I was about to run over my favorite chainsaw

A couple of useful spares there

New fencing/gardening/throw it in the back of the truck saw

Doesn't look too flat considering. Just turn it up the other way and go over it again to straighten it out

Now you are an ideas man!

On the downside the saw can 'loose' a little fresh air/fuel mix straight out the exhaust without being burnt in the cylinder which the Californians and the Europeans are deeply, personally offended by for environmental reasons. I'll hand over to Greta now...

Greta I can handle, it's the show pony that puts the willies up me.

A mere flesh wound. Take more than a dozer to kill a Husky.

Hopefully this explains the difference between inboard and outboard clutches Phil_H

Great buying, I bought the same this past winter. Manuka saw when out at the huts, either on the quad or truck.

Stihl had them from the 024/034/064084 onwards, husqvarna were later to the inboard clutch party. I don't know firsthand because I've never done any milling but apparently an outboard clutch is preferred by some people for milling , the theory being it transfers some heat out of the crankcase on long sustained cuts at full power. I think theres a bit of wishful thinking there but like I said I've never milled.

Inboard clutch is easier to change a worn outboard sprocket too. The Stihl can be an arse to undo the clutch nut. Brute force. Yeah I know, a piece of rope fed into the spark plug hole. I just use the plug that came with each saw I bought but the nut is hideously tight sometimes. Message to self, remember to turn in the correct direction.
