I GOT A NEW CHAINSAW: NEO-TEC NH843!

Unboxing, first start, and first cuts with the Neo-Tec NH843.

[@HipaParts]

Awesome chain saw unboxing and using experience sharing video keep us posted.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

I had the strato gasket mod done for it to run better before this video was filmed. Now to tune it and see how good it really is!

[@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119]

Small saws have there place. Really like the top handle saw for quick work.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

For the way I use chainsaws and cut firewood, a top-handle saw is mostly impractical.

[@MrFreeknassty]

Great information !

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Thanks!

[@jefflandon9125]

Looks like it cuts good hope it holds up can never have too many saws except for room to keep them

[@thefirewooddoctor]

It will cut better once I tune it and get a few more tanks of fuel run through it.

[@georgelisa8044]

seems like it will run well once its tuned,keep us updated

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Will definitely do a video where I tune the carb with before and after cutting test.

[@clintbliss2046]

I just got one. I took the carb and intake off and the strato port was blocked off. I don't think it can make full power if you don't open it up.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

You got it. It will not make full power with the strato blocked. My guess is that they did that to help avoid patent issues as the OEM 543xp is a fairly recent saw. Think Husqvarna still makes it.

[@clintbliss2046]

@@thefirewooddoctor I got it to soup up. It was only $129. A 543 is almost 600.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@clintbliss2046 wait until it gets broke-in. Mine is a little ripper and only has a few tanks on it. Don't get to use it much, as most of what I cut is in log piles or on the ground. That or big tree service wood. The short 16in bar gives me a backache. But for brushing out a tree and bucking limbs, is hard to beat the NH843.

[@clintbliss2046]

@@thefirewooddoctor my firewood saw is a ported and polished 272xp. This little thing is a toy. Going to go for some high rpm hp for fun. Open the transfers increase compression and play with the timing to start. I like high rev small saws. I'll probably run a tank or two to break in a bit first. If it blows don't care. You can buy parts for it attached to a whole new saw. Lol

[@mtnviewtow88]

you can round file the square ground chain easy bud!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

I know. I accidentally did it to one not long ago without realizing it was a square ground chain. LOL!

[@mtnviewtow88]

the mane thing is it works!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@mtnviewtow88 will see how good it works this weekend if can get time in between the rain showers to get it into the wood and tune it.

[@Oouther1]

After reading the reviews I ordered and received mine! Two tanks of gas later, she squeals intermittently and cannot determine if it's the clutch or engine...

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Has to be the clutch. Did you grease the clutch bearing?

[@Oouther1]

@@thefirewooddoctor no, never had to on my other saws…

[@Oouther1]

@@thefirewooddoctor But I’ll check that! Don’t they get hot enough to cook grease?

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@Oouther1 it needs to be gressed.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

I've had several OEM saws that never had the clutch bearing greased, even Husqvarna and Echo.

[@brandonhoad9033]

Can't ever have too many screnches or torx drivers right?

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Exactly! Gotta have a spare for the spare for the spare wrench!

[@jon51]

Mine ran well for 3 days then I returned it and invested in a 500i.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

What didn't you like about the NH843? A small limbing saw is very hwndy.

[@jon51]

@@thefirewooddoctor I should say I bought a larger neo tech saw. I had problems with the bar adjustment and also the engine starting. So I returned it.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

@@jon51 I have three Neo-Tec saws, one Farmertec saw, and two Husqvarna saws. Got everything covered except ginormous tree service wood.

@@thefirewooddoctor I guess you had better luck than me. Mine just kept breaking.

You pronounced Husqvarna correctly.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Heard how to day it from an old Wranglerstar video.

@@thefirewooddoctor I always ask people where the uh in the middle comes from.

@kenturner3268 gotta say the name the proper way. The Swedish way.

[@StumpkillerCP]

Hope you have better luck than many. 10 years later you will have spent as much or more tweeking and repairing it as if you had initially bought a "real" chainsaw like a Stihl or Husqvarna .. . that woud perform better initially, steadily and finally.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

I have a Husqvarna 572xp as my "go to" saw. Have a few other clone saws that are running pretty good. Once they die, I'll replace them with OEM saws.
