@@jonathanhensley8685 I change what needs to be different in order for the saws to run like they are capable of. What I do, or don't do, is kind of like that Los Vegas trip... Thanks for watching.

@@twowheelsdown2002The 181/281/288s were pretty much bullet proof if they had a slight "crack" at high idle. And of course, the air filter was maintained properly... You must have had the carb dialed in for your chains. I bought a 181 in '82 when they first came out. Used a 32". Mostly because I might be a little vertically challenged, lol. But,,, maybe it was that I would use a bigger power head with a 3 foot bar... 2100 to be exact. The 181 was a limbing mo-chine. They were my first experience with a zipped saws as well. Thank you for the inclination to "go Coast Guard" helping others is commendable. Thanks for watching also.

@@hotsaws101 I had multiple washable air filters and changed them every day, rotating them. I round filed the first 6 months and my bullbuck told me he saw that I was working really hard, and asked if I wanted to buy his Simington grinder for $250, since he was not cutting much anymore. I had no idea, but said ok since he said it would help me. Right after I bought it I got put cutting with a guy who had been cutting 30 years, since he was 17. He gave me a used grinding wheel and had me use it to set my dressers, and he told me to buy a roll of Oregon full comp. I did as he advised and he showed me how to grind the corner in right. Holy shit! My chains cut like a beast! I had been working like a dog trying to show I could keep up. After that it was everyone else trying to keep up. And that thing went through limbs like they weren’t there. One quick throttle burst and an ankle size limb was gone.

@@richardpichette4380 thank you. And thanks for watching.

I have noticed it is hard to transition from saw to saw to saw. But it's mostly when stumping. The bias cut specifically. Generally speaking, the sights are 90° to the c/l of the bar on all saws. What differs is the handle bends, position, and distance from the pistol grip to front handle bar. A guy gets use to hand positioning on a particular saw. When changing to another, the "minds eye" aspect is off a little bit. So yes, I've noticed the handle bar orientation differential between saws. Mid sized Stihl saws & the upper Husqvarna saws have pretty consistent sized bar studs. 12mm & 9mm respectively. I have seem where the bar groove will be inconsistent though. Thanks for watching.

@@hotsaws101 I like Jonsered “straight across” handles, as well as the full wraps for the older huskies that were the same. 7900 pronounced handle angle is nice when standing or walking but throws me off in the wood. I may try adapting an old husky wrap.
