Magnus thankyou for showing the 910 IPL. I now remember my 910 had that seperate throttle lock.I haven't owned that saw for 30 years now, memory fades. It was my 920 that I was confused with, it had the combined choke/ fast idle control. No my 910 E did not have the manual oiler but it did have...

I never heard of a 1983-84 Jonsered 910 because they were discontinued in 1982 being replaced by the 920 which I also owned as soon as they were available. I never heard of the seperate fast idle lock either. I heard of some pre production 910s were as big as 100cc, but they never came to market...

My Jonsereds 910 that I bought in 1979 had the very first choke and fast idle lock on one control, this was a Jonsereds invention. Electrolux bought out Husqvarna , Jonsereds, Partner in 1978-79. After 1979 Jonsereds dropped the "s" and then became Jonsered. The Jonserd 630 [rebadged Husqvarna...

I have to derail this thread one more time with something I forgot to mention about one more reason why I like the Jonsered 630 over its cousin the Husqvarna 162. The Jonsered had intergrated choke and fast idle in one control. It took Husqvarna many years later to do the same. Willard.

I agree Stig. I remember in the late 1970s when I was logging all Jonsereds had to offer in that class was the 621. Myself and my 2 older brothers along with most other guys were faithful Jonsereds users. But while working alongside a couple of new French Canadien loggers from Quebec who...

The first problem the 038 had was it had that tiny carb, but the biggest problem was the Stihl was alot heavier. I did a woods porting job on that Jonserded 630 and was beating much larger saws some with 90cc and oversized rim sprockets in that small log. Willard.

The Jonsered 630 I owned is a rebadged Husqvarna 162. When the 162 was introduced in 1975-76 it revolutionized the industry with a design that is still used today 35 yrs later like the 346XP for example. The Jonsered 630 is about the weight of a Stihl 044 or Husqvarna 372. At the same time in...

No The bar and rim had to go back to the factory in Portland Oregon for final testing. Yes it would have been great to keep it as a collectors item. From 1980 to 1981 I also field tested the first Oregon 72 LG chain now a days called the 72 LGX. The Oregon field engineer I worked with was Gary...

I used the last run of that X rudder chain before they were discontinued and it worked great for me. I believe there was a design flaw in the early chain when at about the same time Oregon was introducing the "anti-vibe" [ arrow stamped on the cutter]. The transition matching the rudder drive...

Magnus I actually liked that chain. Oregon had a good design idea there. With a "rudder drive link" alternating with a normal hooked drive link, the chain cut really smooth and the cutting action was more stable in the kerf. Less vibration, smoother action running in and out of the rim sprocket...

Keep listening you will thank us later:lol: As I said before the best accessory for a good bar and chain is a good powerhead. Willard:P

Carlton has less "hook" in the side pltes then what Oregon has. When you filed that chain 10 degrees up it took more hook out of the Carlton ,thats where you noticed the difference. Willard.

Like I said Al most companies no longer specify 10 degrees. Oregon still does for chisel LPX LGX chain. Stihl for example once did for their Rapid Super chisel chain. Here I write what my 1992 Stihl 066 owners manual says on page 52: .for Super chains hold the file so that it slopes slightly...

Holding the file handle 10 degrees down while filing with a round file was adapted for putting an edge on a sawchain for frozen wood or dry hardwood. But today its accepted by most sawchain companies to hold the file level at 0 degrees for all standard cutting. Just once less step to make...

:lol: Yes I used to file like you too I have tried verticle Magnus but only with a chisel bit file for square ground chain. Thats the only good way to file this PNW type of chain because of the 45 degree angle the file has to go into the cutter from the top going down against the cutting edge...

Magnus your idea is fine when you have a pile of rocked out loops on the workbench at home. My technique is for the chainsaw operator on the job at the tree or the firewood pile. I never took coffee breaks as a faller because I was paid by piecework, But I did take short 2 minute breaks to...

I like them alot too. They are comfortable to about -4 F [-20 C]. Any colder then that I get out the 1 finger leather mitts with wool liners. These gloves are called Ansell PowerFlex T [T as in thermal]. I have used them for years along with the Atlas Thermals and find these Ansells are the best...

When a chainsaw operator can comfortably touch up his or hers sawchain at the stump, life is so much easier and enjoyable. Save the heavy rocked out chains for the vise in the garage. As I show you in my photos: _sit down, relax and get a good grip on your saw and file handle.Only my right arm...

I file chisel bit chain with a goofy file with the bar vertical,file going against working corner of tooth, thats the best way to see the angles and cutting edges. But round file I do it horizontal on my lap is what I prefer. Willard.

Hey thats a great idea Paul. We could have a American Idol style "TreeHouse Chainsaw filing contest". Let the games begin!! Willard;)
