Hey tinman. I'm from New England, we definitely cut a lot of fire wood over here, and all hard wood! I'd love to see you do a 395xp. I just did a holzfforma 395 myself and was very impressed with it. I did a video on my channel about it.
Very interesting how the numbers work out. I like how you didn't touch the intake timing on this one, it's a good way see what happens with just raising the exhaust. I have a couple saws waiting to get built and I can't get to them for a while because I have to move and get a shop set up. I will have two identical saws with new identical cylinders and I might do one with only raised exhaust and the other with only lowered intake. It's killing me because I have so many experiments to try and I can't get to them for quite a while lol. And you better look me up if you come to the East coast to Nova Scotia,😉
It is hardwood central here on the EC, Tinman. I cut nothing but oak, cherry, maple, and walnut. I know your ear is about a thousand times better than mine, but the low jet sounded lean. Otherwise, you have a killer, there!💪💪💪
Hey tinman it’s been a while, she sounds snappy indeed! I’m looking forward to the learning where all about to get from you digging into these 371/372. Hope the family is doing well! Thanks again tinman
Nice saw. I was gifted one a 371xpg. It has a busted mag side case but other wise it's complete. Can't move on to it until I get that stubborn 272xp build working. Definitely getting the itch...😂. If anyone has a set of 371xp cases I'm look'en. Or the mag side at least. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙
@@tinmanssaws the shape of the lower transfers where the air moves into the transfers? the shape of the upper transfers directing the air over the piston and setting up the swirl in the chamber? Or the mid transfer section where flow is consolidated, accelerated and turned?
Saw cuts great when its "on the pipe" cant tell if its a little soft down low or if the chain is just really hungry.. Idle sounds pretty lean.. I like it! Can I have it? ;)
He's right about the dawgs, to big....too grabby changes the whole performance of the saw. The old codger is right, the chain cut very well when the dawgs were away from the log, as soon as the dawgs touched the log the chain would stall. Thats classic 'too big dawg' problem.
Bro I got a 298xp.... And I couldn't find a brand new carburetor for it so I put a carb for a 272 on there..... You think I'll notice any differene? The 272 carbs were available.... From aftermarket for just dirt cheap... Saw runs good..... I heard the 298 XP and the 2100 are identical saws... The Saw shop mechanic... Told me exactly how to drill and tap for a compression release.. and where to put it.... I did... And I absolutely love this saw I've had it since 1989... A logger borrowed it from me and says that it is an absolute animal... The chrome-plated cylinder bore is still in mint condition... People tell me it's one of the most sought-after used saws.. they only made em for two years they are a souped-up factory Saw... Most guys couldn't start them and hurt their hands from cord pulling through their fingers... Because of their high compression...
