Chainsaw Repair

On pulp saws I ran the lightest setup I could. The Redmax had a 15" Prolite bar with a 21lp Oregon chain on an 8 tooth gear. Saw was set at 15,000.  Its had almost no acceleration time. Trigger was like an electrical switch. On and off. Idle to full throttle in a heart beat. On frosty mornings one of my men said it sounded like a gun shooting limbs off trees. It is the only ported saw I ever had that used less gas after porting than before. 

Thanks for posting that, Old Iron.  It's nice to know there's so much speed there.  I am going to try a few different b/c combos to find the one that works best for my firewood hack needs.  Your post reminded me that I need to pick up an 8 tooth .325 gear to test against the 7 tooth.
