Just another junk chainsaw

[Snobdds]

The one was a metal tab. Drilled it out. Other was just a plastic tab. Trimmed it off. Easy peasy.

It's not those red plastic caps. They are metal in newer one

Why waste time pulling the metal cap inside there to do the same thing. I was going to take the tab off anyway.

Just like this 251 carb with 2 metal caps. Just to easy to drill the freaking tab off and never have to pull the metal caps.

Makes sense...

I keep reading complaints about wearing B&C oil because of the Stihl oil caps. Is that any worse than the caps which somebody occasionally forgets to put back on?
I'm just asking for a friend.

Yeah I done that to, I also on occasion put oil in the gas tank before but least I noticed it before I tighten the cap..........

So sad. I guess I don't have any saws new enough to have limiter caps or flip-up caps. I feel your pain.

I'm not a fan of my Stihl Flippies but I bought the alternative on Eee-Bay and they leak oil all over. Not so much on the fuel though. I wish I could say that they are better than flippies but not for my saws.

I always keep the bar wrench with screw driver on the end, with the oil and gas. I used to put it in my pocket, but would drop it on the ground instead of getting it in the pocket. On the second tank of gas, i'll sit down and pop the cover off, look at things, maybe clean it a bit and a quick run with the round file. I've not tried square filing yet, though have used it on larger saws, usually with a skip, to help keep the curve clean, less like to jam up.

Watching this one with a lot of interest,

still have my PM 700- lots of torque but she could use some more top end.

More chain speed (RPM) under load Means a faster cut as long as the mid range torque isn't lost in the porting.

Tinman can easily cut the squish in half also.

Yeah I hope that guy shows how timing is adjusted on a chainsaw, dont make sense to me but I have no idea how to fix or modify a saw either, guess it's called ported. My Husqvarna 550xp came souped up but if that guy can juice up them old Mcculochs I'm in then fix the vibration........

Always can tell a Mcculoch, nice old saw....... mcculloch PM7 chainsaw - YouTube
