My house came with a Wards or Sears saw, probably made by Jonsered. I fought it for a couple of years, it was basically scared of wood. You could get it started, rev it all you wanted, but show it a log and it would die before cutting one chip. Voodoo mystery BS for sure. You could go through all the same motions with your back to the log and the saw roared just fine. Same hold, same pitch/roll/yaw, etc. Pivot carefully to the wood, changing nothing about the position of the saw, and plopppp.
Maddening. Once in awhile it would cut, but often not. I drove off and bought the Stihl 036, one down from their top model and kind of expensive at a time when I could ill afford it, and never looked back. It's an absolute beast, and with a fresh chain (and sometimes bar, 'cause once you tweak one it's never the same again) it'll chew through logs at a rate that is hard to believe. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
