If you are "far from an expert" then why make videos? Am I missing something?
@UncleMikesCustomThings10 күн бұрын
Well, I for one have learned a tremendous amount watching KZbin videos made by lay people. I've found that their opinions and experiences have a lot of value, and often their insight is more useful to me at my point in the learning curve than that of experts. I'm very greatful to each of these creators that they have taken the time and effort to produce their content so that I can learn from them. It's not easy. And I'll let you in on a little secret: KZbin doesn't fact-check our videos. Even those people claiming to be experts might just be some yahoo with a GoPro. I think it's great that there's this platform for people to share information and ideas freely, but like much of the Internet, it's up to you to decide who to listen to. So maybe this whole free information thing isn't for you. For you, I recommend a university. These are large organizations where you can pay to learn from experts, and they don't let just anyone talk about whatever they want like KZbin.

Now it’s time for a set of overload shocks on the rear end. Especially if your test dumps in the video are any indication of how hard you’ll be working that thing.
@UncleMikesCustomThings9 күн бұрын
My springs, axle, and tires are all load rated right about the same, so I'm worried if I upgrade something I risk breaking something else. And even if I beefed up all three, then the brakes would be undersized, and at some point the frame itself becomes the weak link. At the end of the day, if I really want to haul more than this truck can handle as-is, I think my best bet is to just get a bigger truck.

Pretty sure it was mostly user-error. I'd read somewhere that Timberwolves were super easy to flood, so I was being really timid with the choke. Now after I've had the saw for a while I know that, for mine at least, you've gotta leave it on full choke until it pops, then it starts easy every time.

I'm planning on a full battery of fluids and filters before I put any real time on this motor, and it really needs a carburetor rebuild. There are also a bunch of checks and adjustments I want to do to make sure everything is ship-shape before I take her up to any height.

My first cut in through the pith. Let's me use good size screws to keep the rails on and the log on my saw horses. (My saw will pull a 700lb saw right off the horses even with dogs set to hold it) Get rid of that damn thing so the boards are less likely to cup. I also go on from there and quarter saw as much as I can. But it's been a long journey of errors to figure out a efficient system.

Given how consistently this saw has been performing ever since that rough first-start, I'm prepared to take the blame. I was being really timid with the choke because I'd read they were super easy to flood. Now that I've got a feel for my Timberwolf it's just 4-5 pulls on full choke until it pops, choke off, then 1-2 more and it's running no matter how long it's been since the last time. Never flooded it once.

Sounds like you've got a better behaving saw than mine. I consistently do 3-4 pulls on choke for a pop, then 2-3 more to fire off. I'm happy enough with those results, especially since it's so reliable regardless of how long it's been sitting or how cold it is, but not near as good as two pulls from cold like you're getting. That's impressive!
