Super cool, really like the lightweight bar!
How does the big tillotson (HR/HD?) work?

Adam
Big Tillotson HD 42 mm works really good Adam. It's got H and L screws which makes it super easy to tune. Very reliable carb, there's a return line that cycles unused fuel back to the fuel tank.
I had a smaller 34mm HR on it when I originally built the saw with the engine laying horizontal with the chain cutting backwards on right hand drive.

Here's some pics of the original setup. Plus some pics of Gary Walrath's world record time setter 292 Yamaha Thunder Jet hotsaw back in 1984 in Estacada, Oregon. Also cuts backwards while throwing wood chip rooster tails 70 feet.


Making a living with a saw since age 16.
