Just another junk chainsaw

I busted open a gal of my ER mix today to test and see for myself.

I will say. The 1% bad feedback on turfuel has to be ones that bought cans that was filled with water and coloring etc and returned to box stores or just your typical clueless owners I even see here.

Idle was same, max rpm the same, in the cuts the same. No difference starting and restarting.

I run Efree 89 with VPracing oil 40:1.

The Truefuel is 40:1 from 2022.

Trufuel is 74% alkylate and 40:1 for my choice. I paid like 6 a gallon at Lowes when selling it off.

I seen no difference in starting, idling, max rpm or in the cuts.

Well valuable lesson about going cheap on bar. Archer K095 3/8 84DL.

Archer made in China for a Australia company.

Back against rim and slot close to back.

I removed some heel to shorten bar up. But then I needed to lengthen slot. But in end it now fits.

Just wanted to test ported 359 out rip cutting with 24” buried.

or I would have had to make a 85DL chain. I choose to grind heel to shorten it some then make slot loner to go back for that.

Bit and file made easy work of it like shown.

But being run 20" mostly and then 16". 24" more of a wanted to see thing on ported 359. Ripping no stopping it.

How much may I inquire? I'd join your FB group but I refrain from doing FB. I prefer Rumble, Truth Social and X.

I had one for a few years... It was a good saw to throw in the truck and not worry about being stolen. It always started, even after sitting in the shed for 3 years when I'd completely forgotten that I owned it.
The only drawback was the lack of vibration dampening.

Its all about the chain and how sharp you can get it.

Guess next thing to do if it all checks out. Is get one woods ported the way I want it to pull 325 8T or even 3/8 7T.

Prob stick with 325 8 since loving this new C33 and 23RS

Ran a ported one with 325 7 and that didnt tell me squat. But wasnt my saw and I couldnt change it per owner Well no chit it dont bog ported with 325 7.

Talked to a local guy I know that ports and has got into the racing of chainsaws now. I have ran his ported echo in past with 3/8 on it and looked at his work and one of my trusted porters in my FB CRG.

Thats why I always like the Poulan 260 220 42cc cheap plastic saws in that version. It has coil spring antivibe.

220 same saw and 42cc not smaller like they say on them
