Appreciated and watched this whole video 😁

@@JeffreySimundson Hey Jeff…it’s a ProLine carb from Sawzilla on eBay. Description is “adjustable carb for 017,018,170,180”. Stihl should be spanked with a rolled up newspaper for doing that to us. The 170 is an INCREDIBLE saw, and then to hang us with that turd non-adjustable carb?? 🤬 Someone should’ve lost their job for that.

@wizardsofwisconsin7400 oh boy I've had the same harsh view on Stihl for it; for years! Thankful for you sharing the carb! I have built 2 with Amazon ms250 carb and intakes now. Like that setup but fear the quality of the Amazon diaphragms and the aircleaner pops off when warm ..

@@JeffreySimundson I saw that the 250 carb seems to be what everyone was doing but it seemed like there was quite a bit of messing around with rerouting the impulse channel or something? I forget…but the issue to me with the 250 carb is that the Venturi must be meant to flow differently being a 45cc saw compared to the 30cc 170 and I didn’t want to get that far out of bounds. Bigger carbs don’t necessarily mean better performance as you know but if you did 2 of them it means the first one must’ve worked fine? I’ll make a video not this weekend but right after Xmas with this one, it’s ridiculous.

@@ils360 If you just Google “Egan Performance Saw” it’ll take you right to it. Go to “Products” to see what’s available right now👍

@wizardsofwisconsin7400 awesome thanks!

@@thomaskipfer1008 You can go to “Egan Performance Saws” and have a look at the Products section Thomas. What is listed is what is currently being made for certain models, I believe they will have others as time goes on and there is a demand for them.

@@timberandtools Good lord yes! People have to be careful about ANY kind of pipe or even a muffler mod done at home…you HAVE to have an adjustable carb (or automatically tuned carb that will handle it) in order to not go lean up high. Some carbs pull fuel better than others, it all depends and they need a person capable of getting the correct mixture back.

@ yes definitely always need a good retain after a muffler modification!!

@@mike-jc4wm 😆😆😆Probably not but those nimrods are part of the reason why we get 4hp out of a 5hp saw in the first place🤬 I thought you’d be out hunting today with this heat wave we have!

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 Been -2 and -7 the last two nights and blowing ice is on the lakes going ice fishing lol .sube

Thanks for the pipe!

@@timberandtools I’ve known about them for a few years but never saw one anywhere close enough to me to even go look at. I’m glad this one popped up, it is VERY nice. Since this video it now has the 32” es light on it with Stihl yellow chain. Gonna be a hell of a limbing saw!😃

@ yeah they’re a cool saw no question about it! Glad you got this one. It’s clean too

@@HemiOrange Thanks Hemi! I robbed the 25” es light bar off my 400c last weekend just to see how it actually cut wood and it is a HORSE! So smooth, so effortless…but it does have a bit of weight to it, comparatively. No complaints yet! I’d love to do some big falling with it but don’t have the trees…yet. And a heated handle bar? Now THAT would be nice! 440’s are damn nice saws.

​@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 I live in Alberta, Canada. The town I'm from is on the foothills of the Rockies. We were primarily targeting Pine and Spruce, but would also harvest poplar for the pulp mills. In the 60's, 70's and 80's my grandfather had the biggest sawmill/operation around. Logging was in my blood. Unfortunately in 1988 my grandfather sold out. He had 3 daughters and his older grandsons were a bunch of pussies so he sold out. I worked for a friend of his and then got into the Alberta oil and gas industry. Logging was fun even at -30°C, hense the heated grips. You bought a killer saw! I hope you enjoy it! The west coast dogs make er look mean. You need a 34" bar to make it a true tree killer! We used skip tooth chain. The soft wood would plug the saws up if we ran a full house chain.

@ Don’t even get me started on the pussies these days, it’s one of the reasons I purposely take my 2 sons out with me cutting. To expose them to this type of thing will help instill confidence in other things, and teach them to take up the challenge even when it seems scary and dangerous. Yes, it’s dangerous…loud…action everywhere. But they love doing it because the saw gives them real world power to do real world things, not just pound buttons on some video game. We have oaks here in Wisconsin that can get to 60” or better but most of what we’re working on is 5”-16” blowdown, could be oak,,cherry,box elder,etc. To have a crack at a massive spruce would be ALOT of fun, as long as it went where it was supposed to😆 -30c is a bit brisk but when your life is on the line the adrenaline would keep you warm! We’ll have some video out later of our time in the woods, I hope you stop by when we have it up!

​@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 Right on with your kids! I'll keep an eye open for your video.

@@davidinghram2494 I find it amazing that these 0XX series saws are just chugging along 30-40 years later. It speaks to a seriously well constructed machine! I’ve seen posts where some people avoid the 064 because it doesn’t have a decomp but it’s nowhere near as hard to start as one might think,even at 150psi compression. It does have some pretty serious torque though, you do want to hang onto it…😃

Thanks Dave, after looking around some more it does appear to be normal. Guess I just need bigger thumb muscles…😆

@@MD-NWWI Hey thanks Greg! I’ve gotten out less than 20 times this year, with some things going on with my mom who is older and a knee surgery sprinkled in it’s been a little slow. My public sites within reasonable driving distance are pretty wiped out and it takes ALOT of work to scare up one coin. One of my great joys of this hobby was to go hunt,film and actually find stuff. I really wanted them to be of use to someone else but if I don’t have much to find it’s a bit useless. Honestly, I’m somewhat burnt. With all of the voices out there in the ether saying DO THIS! and someone else says DO THAT!….my own videos get lost in that mess. In other words, I don’t think they’re actually worth making. With just over 400 subs I’m not reaching much of an audience, and all that coupled with the aforementioned things…no, I’m not as active as I once was and enjoyed being. If new ground were to open up I’d be there in a second, I just don’t have it and don’t see it coming. I don’t want to be a wet rag but it’s all become sort of MEH. How about you? Still finding things worth finding and having fun with it?

​@wizardsofwisconsin7400 yep we are still finding stuff. Mostly at the same old spots and a few new spots. I'm getting real close to 80 silvers for this year. I found a couple bucket listers. A Canadian fish scale and a barber half dollar. Also I joined a club and they have a few club permissions that they've hunted for around 10 years. Old boyscout camps! I had good luck there and once I popped a couple silvers out of a field that they all just got done hunting they were watching me real close to see what I was doing differently. I think they thought I was cheating lol. In a sense I was. The only guy with a deus 2. The one day I popped 5 silvers and 4 on another trip. Finally one guy asked me to help set up his equinox and he had his sensitivity at 15 and recovery speed pretty high. He popped 2 silvers in about 15 minutes lol. But yep almost another record year for me. Deus 2 has given me about 270 silvers after 3 seasons. That's pretty darn good I say.

@ I agree completely, the D2 is almost like cheating, they had good reason to be suspicious! I won’t pretend to know what it’s doing but I know that it IS doing it, and until a time comes where some other technology comes out that’s the machine I’m using when I do get out. And yeah,sens 15 with high recovery on the EQX ain’t gonna get you any deep coins, it’s mind blowing to US that he’d have it that way, but hopefully he learned something. Not everyone is into every detail and piece of information about detectors and how they work and all of the tips that might make someone more successful….but then if they don’t want to take the time to do that they can’t be surprised when they get their ass handed to them on a hunt by someone who does. Knowledge is power, especially in this hobby. Glad to hear you’re still doing well and have producing ground. That’s a hell of a 3 year run, there’s people who don’t find that many in a lifetime!

@@outdoorsinthe608 Thanks Jeremiah! Yes, I can’t wait to take it out for a proper wood spanking! We really don’t have wood that’s big enough to justify this thing but who cares? It eats little stuff too!😀 It looks like you need another supply over there,getting a little thin in the wood yard!

never enough!!😂

@@mike-jc4wm Electric has come SO far and battery technology also,it’s incredible what’s out there now. I saw a BUNCH of places to detect going down through Stockton and Morrison but you know me…NOT smart enough to bring my detector along….😆 There were some really mouth watering little towns,I remember where they are…

The 371 is a great saw! 50mm piston, single ring. You can get the 75cc kits cheap. I have a 1996 with the 75cc upgrade. I used a ported husqvarna cylinder with a dominant piston, skf semi ceramic bearings. The only real difference from the 372 to the 371 is the 372 has gussets around the crank seals and the 372 has 2 rings like an Xtorq. When I got mine, a dumbass family member ran straight gas and burn't it up so I got it for nothing. When I rebuilt it, I hot rodded it. I like running a 20" bar with 3/8" chisel chain, full house. I put the high top 372 air filter and cover on it with dual west coast dogs. I customized the exhaust by putting a T style tube in the muffler and closed it up. They pull hard with that muffler trick, even if you don't port them.

@@timberandtools That’s awesome! Couple reasons I haven’t uploaded and detecting stuff in awhile. First, KZbin is FLOODED with metal detecting stuff and it’s really hard to get views, or to have new people come along and learn anything which is why I do it to begin with. Everyone wants to know how THEY can be successful. Second reason is I’m a public ground hunter, and my sites within reasonable driving distances are just wiped out. They were pretty toasted when I started but they’re really cooked now. It’s just difficult to capture live video of finding something worth posting. What kind of detecting do you do? Coins? Jewelry? Relics? Another reason I’m turning more toward saws is just for the fact my son and I get out and do this stuff, and he really enjoys getting into the woods and getting out some aggression! He’s been running the piped 261c and he is in LOVE with that machine. Being able to spend time with him working together is always going to take a front seat to me metal detecting by myself as you might imagine. We’re lucky to have the relationship we do, it’s certainly not always that way! Bonding over loud barking chain saws? It’s just too cool man!

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 that’s awesome! I have a hobby detector 250$ unit have found some cool stuff never silver yet I hunt with my daughters. They like it. I don’t know a better way to bond with a son other than running a saw. I have three girls so I wouldn’t know for sure but that’s what I’d imagine is the pinnacle running saws together haha

@@timberandtools I’d much rather have the kids involved with whatever it is, that’s just something they’ll remember for all time. I have a 25 year old daughter and twin (fraternal) 19 year old boys, none of who like detecting whatsoever😆

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 yeah gotta make memories

@@timberandtools I was expecting a gain. I wasn’t expecting this! It has such a nasty exhaust crack to it and the idle sounds like it has a cam!😆 They are incredible little pipes, I do declare!

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 might need to get one 👌🏻

Mines almost 3 years old still the same

@@timberandtools Good! That’s what I was hoping to hear! Kind of…😆 Thanks Timber!

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 right on brother

@@clarewinslowiii2186 I wish I KNEW what I wanted! I’ve got another housing coming to try so I’ll see how it works. Or not. When it’s HOT and metal detecting SUCKS because it’s HOT….this is what I do. Cow is out of the barn😆

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 I’ve been shoveling in the cash on recovery calls. Got out of it but still got calls.

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 I got a quote for $5000. to cut down 6 trees. I'm a cheap ass. Bought an arborist saw and climbing spikes. UP I go! Got most of them cut down last fall. Getting the rest this summer.

@@timberandtools I agree Timber! Thanks for coming on board, I’m going to sub your channel after this and whoever solves it first please post it! I’ll do the same. This might have an existing solution but I just haven’t seen it posted or found it yet. The 250 housing will be here in 2 days so let the chopping begin!😆

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 subbed here as well!! I’ll let you know if I find a solution as well!!!

Thanks Bruno! The manual will state, and the general consensus has always been, that when you’re in a very cluttered area with a lot of good targets and trash mixed in such as an old fairground….use FAST. In an area such as a wide open park where targets are sparse but could be buried very deeply….use DEEP. Not having either one on is like the the mid setting. I’m not sure what the manual says but I’ve heard in the past that having both ON is like having both OFF….but I don’t know. IMO leave them both OFF. The key to this machine is STABILITY. The sensitivity cannot be too high or you won’t be able to tell what’s going on.

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 wow thanks so much for replying.. like i had said.. its been years since i swung a detector.. i was using an e-trac back about 13 yrs ago.. finaly got some time to get back into the hobbie. came across this old explorer se and couldnt wait to get out... amazing how much technology has advanced in the newer minelabs from what ive been researching.. hopefully ill get back on friendly forum soon.. i missed this hobbie .. Thanks again, happy hunting!

@@TimeLapseCarGuyBruno Of course! One thing you don’t want to do is feel like you have to buy something new to make good finds, especially coin hunting. The etrac CTX and Explorer will keep up with anything out there as long as your site isn’t completely iron/nail infested. In that case, the Deus2 is the current king in that department again, JMO. Have fun!

Hi Jon! Yes, especially using a slow recovery speed to achieve depth the swing speed and swing consistency are all important! I see many guys using 2.5-3 for a recovery speed and swinging for the fences….not going to find ANYTHING around here like that, these sites have been hunted WAY too many times. People very much equate XP machines with speed, and while they can be “sped up” it does very little good in the places I hunt. Great to hear you’re having success with it as well. Take care! Kevin

Hi Aaron! Pretty much exclusively Ferrous/Coin with ferrous line at 25 and accepting CO 37 and up. You CAN get more depth with a manual ground balance but that can go wrong too so I almost always ran tracking. Sensitivity worked really well in Auto+3 but I almost had to with the 17” coil on most of the time. If you’re expecting fatty Indians or trimes or nickels….gotta lower the CO cutoff or set notches. Also always pinpoint sizing so you can determine shape of some items when in doubt, but it’s not useful when it’s ultra trashy, just too much stuff for it to look at. I hear you about missing the CTX, I think if they came out with something like that running FBS2 in a chassis as light as the D2….I’d be in again just to have it.

Thanks Mikey! I just had the smaller coins there for size comparison, I had found those previously…but that 1 Yuan is bigger than a Morgan! It’s humungous!😃

You know what? I’ve had that coin for at LEAST 8 years and don’t even recall where I found it because I thought it was a token. No numbers or denomination indication in English anyway…but when I tumbled it all the sudden it was obviously silver so I researched it. One of the reasons I keep everything that’s not obviously junk…

Hi, Kevin. I could really use your expertise. I have been using my explorer 2 for about 8 years. my settings have been jacked up for some time now. was hoping you could help.

I’ve been running 1.1 Tommy. I will switch between .71 and 1.1 about once a month just to compare in field results. 1.1 is more adjustable but is it deeper? I don’t think so personally. Next time out in fact I’ll be back in .71. Although I’ve got around 300+ hours on it overall I’m still very much in the learning phases and will be for likely a few years.

I’m not sure what the actual cable is called other than a “GX-16 Aviation cable”. If you look on eBay with that description you’ll be able to possibly find out. I also know that CB’s use the same configuration on their 5 pin connectors, you’ll want to try to get cable that is shielded or you may encounter some falsing. Good luck!👍

This info is a big help. Circa 2007 Kelly offered a hip-mount conver kit. Got 2. Haven't seen any like them.

Probably a BUNCH because I wasn’t swinging in wild arcs with a tilted coil🤪 More than anything I don’t like the sensationalized title he used in the name of clicks, views and cash. Last time I looked his video had 115k views, this video has 400-something. I’m hoping he changes course and gets in line with what Gary does instead of posting what he did. It just sucks what’s out there sometimes.

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400 I think you are 100% correct. Walking and swinging fast you are not overlapping and often are skipping chunks of area at the end of each swing. When you go low and slow, you are taking more measured and careful swings that give you better actual coil area over potential target areas. In a lot of videos of detectorists using a higher response / reactivity and swinging fast and walking fast I can see them missing chunks of the hunt area that they are missing. LIke one guy said, missing a target an inch can be like missing it a mile.

Thanks Mr. Durt!😃

Hey Hey! Thanks for coming along Mabie, it’s appreciated! There was a KZbinr in mid Wisconsin I really enjoyed watching but I haven’t seen him put up a video in a long time, wonder what happened to him. His handle was Metal Detecting Nut. Ever see him?

It’s really in the results Robert. You burn LESS energy and find MORE coins…this is all strictly about COIN hunting….if you hunt “deliberately” and “thoroughly”. I think “low and slow” is sometimes mistaken for “your coil can’t move more than .005 mph”. That’s not the case. It’s really about being THOROUGH, and recognizing signals that aren’t perfect, but could very well be a coin!

Well said

🤣🤣It is frustrating to watch other guys just blasting along and THEN being amazed when they come back and find other things. Will you find everything at all times doing this? Nobody does that in reality. But you WILL find more, especially using low reactivity like I usually do. Professor? God no, we have a couple of those already!😃

😆😆😆Thanks Dan! I’m sure the Ambassador has other high level duties to attend to but if someone else gets something from it…it’s all good.👍 For some reason I don’t think he’s a subscriber but I could be wrong…I have so many you know!🤪

It sure does when hunting these absolute dumps Greg! Is it the best thing everywhere in all situations? I can only speak for these types of places…it does work.

@wizardsofwisconsin7400 if I'm hunting a new spot I'll skip the overlap and wander until I find hot spots. Then I slow down. But like you say just depends. If it's a spot you know there is stuff then it's low and slow!

@@MD-NWWI Totally agreed, and I do need to put some of this into specific context in my next outing. It’s always easy to know what you’re thinking in your own head, but I have to make sure that it’s clearly conveyed, instead of just jumping to the conclusion that it’s readily apparent to others. I struggle with that, because in my own little world EVERYONE does the same thing I do, and that’s just not the case. The “blanket statement” is very easy to unintentionally make!

@wizardsofwisconsin7400 lol your all good! I don't think anyone is judging. We're all just guys having fun and arguing what we think at the moment. One day I got lucky digging iffy signals. 3 silvers in a row that had that bent nail sound. I told my buddy hey, we got to dig it all here. After about 12 nails dug my buddy was ready to shove me into a hole lol. I guess I just got lucky a few times.

Totally agreed, it takes time to realize the importance! Time and patience that is…things that seem to be in short supply.

@@wizardsofwisconsin7400I think I know who you are talking about, and yes, after I have been detecting for almost 45 years, I agree, he is an idiot.

I felt like I had to work extra on that one! Guy in Ferris Buellers Day Off…”Relax! I’m a professional!” Cameron mutters…”A professional WHAT?”😆 You know, I’d like to think I’ve got a few skills, I thought that about 8 years ago too. Looking back, there’s no way I’d be finding what I am now with the knowledge I had. That’s one of the intriguing things about this hobby, no matter how “good” you think you are, you can always be better. Once the fairly easy signals run out…that’s where things get interesting. Always learning Weird Guy, always learning! Thanks as always!👍

I’m glad you got the reference Gary! If he is supposed to be supplying SOLID information ESPECIALLY for USA hunters who are mostly public land hunters per capita…he needs to make sure he clarifies things. He did back up and say when he gets into a “cluster” I think he said…then he slows down. But I’ve watched his videos, and he just needs more time analyzing his own video to see if he’s got his technique correct. It’s tough to have that focus, it really is. I call it more “low and disciplined” than anything. Thanks for watching and comment it’s appreciated!

Thanks Spader! That one was slightly elusive but we got it! The cold is coming for you, we have 28 and windy here today so figured I’d barf out a video…😃

Thanks for the comment Ducker! I hope that people GET something out of it, they would be ASTONISHED at the number of old coins masked by all kinds of things! Great coil control and hunting very “deliberately” is what makes them appear, and recognizing even that partially broken signal. Good luck in your hunting!😎

thanks

Thanks DeWayne! Is that not crazy how easy that would be to miss?? Your guess isn’t correct but I can see why you’d guess that…🤣🤣🤣

​@@wizardsofwisconsin7400in paystreaks defense he constantly states he isnt looking for deep targets and he just wants to pound out tons of shallow stuff Im thinking i saw NYC say low and slow is dead iirc so I assume thats who OP was talking about I dont have the patients for low and slow myself, if I dont get a target today, I'll get it next time, I dont drive so I tend to search the same dozen or so places repeatedly sometimes during the summer I'll take the new cheap buss out of town though, it costt $6 and and stops in like 4 different towns, so when I get bored of the places by me I hop on that bus But couldnt you do low and fast and still overlap your sweeps??? I have faith in the recovery speed of modern detectors

Our machines today are faster Gopher, and overlapping with ANY speed will help. But it depends a great deal on your recovery speed…your reactivity if you will. If you’re using a machine that doesn’t have this feature it just matters that you overlap at all. If you’re using a machine that has this feature and you’re swinging fast with a LOW recovery speed you WILL miss targets past a certain depth. Now…it depends on how you hunt, what you’re hunting, how deep you typically dig for a coin and how polluted the site is. Everything I do pertains to COIN hunting, so that parameter has to be set right away. Furthermore, I only hunt DEEP coins in heavily polluted sites that have nails in EVERY hole and also have a great deal of modern trash. So…all that reading later…if you’re in a site with coins that are by themselves you can afford a quicker sweep with overlap. The 9” coil on the D2 seems to be fairly active even a little bit outside of the coil itself, almost like a 10” coil. But you can only fudge it so much before something is going to get missed. In YOUR specific case, you might not want to clean a place out, being that it would force you to catch that bus and go elsewhere. But for most people I know, it’s about the challenge….not for KZbin ratings or likes. We don’t care about all that, we just care about learning all there is to know and getting better at what we do. Good luck out there!👍
