Oh, I thought you were talking about Dean's saw having a new owner, and you worked on it. Don't mind me, just perpetually confused.

OK, thanks. Just curious what larger than stock carb Dean had put on there, as he did mention having done that and the fiddle with getting the linkage sorted out. I wrote him about it but never got a reply. Maybe at some point it went back to stock? Speaking of switching out carbs, on a...

The guy in the lower pic looks familiar. Isn't that "Fast Eddy"? Kevin, did you happen to notice what carb model was on the 034/036?

The 034 is a pretty light saw, more so than some of the smaller earlier displacements, like the 028.

Dean is the guy who inspired me to put the 036 top onto the 034 and then mod it. I believe the one that he used to write about was ported as well, Al, and my recollection is that he referred to it as a "beast". It might very well be the same saw that you observed. He also advised putting a...

Well, maybe the 036 was a good engine then, you just have to stick it onto an 034 case. I do recall the 034 being rather mundane until i swapped it out. Never tried, but my bet is that it would out torque a Jonsered or anything else of equivalent size. Only strong people should use one. Wide...

I think the 034 was a good saw...very reliable, but if you drop an 036 p and c into it, then do some mods, it becomes a ....what's the next word past fantastic? Tremendous torque for that sized engine. The 034 was lighter than the earlier 028, also a good saw.

The ..what is it called, six point limbing method or something, I think Stig posted a vid, perhaps? Probably most people use at least a part of that system. The bar closer in would seem to have advantages when rolling the saw.

Willard, what makes you say the outboard clutch is better for limbing? Do you think that there is an added degree of comfort of maneuverability with the bar being closer to the powerhead?

16" isn't much bar for 68ccs. It should rip for the purposes that you mentioned. A 20-24" bar would probably make a decent felling saw for small-mid sized trees as well. My 59cc Husky works pretty well in that capacity, being souped up.

Watch the pocket watch going right to left....left to right...you are getting tired...your eyes are getting heavy...so tired. Now, you will follow my commands....you will give that saw to me. :lol:

Ok, thanks...helpful link.

I think that they may have also made the anti vibe chain in a safety configuration, where the drive links extend up next to the rakers.

Willard, thanks for the information. I have seen that arrow that you are referring to, always wondered what it was about. Is that anti vibe chain considered safety chain? Not a big fan of safety chain myself, an aggressive cutter is my cup of tea, probably as with most folks here.

Anti vibe chain, is that where the drive links extend up to alongside the rakers, or is that safety chain? That isn't new, so you must be referring to something else.

A step up in ccs from that one, but I regularly work on a 288xp that belongs to crazy priest. I know it pretty well after installing a new cylinder and piston, after gas from a container that didn't get shook up was put in it. It's in the shop right now with the chain brake frozen up. I've...
