The MS150 Has Arrived

[Hedgerow]

Nice one Hedgerow, thanks for getting back to me.

I will have a good test tomorrow with it. Cheers.

I gotta ask...
What kind of tree is that in your avatar??
It's funky...

 

[biggun]

It is a Spanish Chestnut. There are loads of them in Greenwich park, South East London. I used to live opposite the park, I just liked the look of some of the old gnarly trunks.

edit: I do believe it is the same tree as in this blog...

I just got one here too...took out the spark screen and thought I'd widen the outlet as well. I want to run it in a bit more first though.

 

[biggun]

Well I used mine today and the difference is like night and day. The saw was nicely run in and the hole in the exhaust has just given it that much more poke and pickup.

Checked the plug after about 10 minutes of cutting and it was looking sweet, so tuning appears to be correct.

Where did Randy go?

I've been on walkabout.......

 

[MasterBlaster]

Any kangaroos? lulz!

 

[mastermind7864]

glad ur back Randy

Question, when you guys drill out/widen the exhaust outlet, do you still put the deflector cover thingy back over the top of the opening?
I wasn't sure if leaving it off would run the risk of crap getting through the outer cover and drop into the muffler through the now bigger hole?

 

[HolmenTree]

Good idea to put the outlet cover back on. , screen reinstalled will assure debris doesn't get in.
Cover deflector is a must on those side exhausts to prevent burning holes in your Pfanner pants.

 

[Bermy]

Ha! Actually the exhaust on the 150 exits up, the deflector cover deflects it down.
I left the screen out.

Just the hot saw against my leg (when clipped up) had me checking my Francitals...little thing gets quite warm on a hot day!

Look...I'm not trying to be crass or rude...but somehow that line really struck me as funny.

I've been really busy guys..

I pop in and read a little.......but haven't had much time to keep up with the forums lately.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hey, busy is GOOD!!!

Darnet Randy! That is too busy... check in once in a while. I can't mod saws worth a darn and need lots of advise.

 

[mastermind7864]

I hear you man........it just takes practice. And a lot of spare parts.

[Bermy]

Oh, BOYS!!!

I try and censor my replies but every now and then my 'boy mind radar' just doesn't pick up the innuendo, sigh. What's a girl to do...

 

[Bermy]

So randy, deflector cover back on after opening up the muffler hole, or not?

 

[mastermind7864]

Yes.......reinstall the cover, but tweak it outward just a bit to open it some.

 

[Bermy]

yeah, I did that too, thanks!

 

[mastermind7864]

Cool.......glad to be able to help.

**Stihl MS 150 user's**... make sure and clean your spark arrestor screens, mine was plugged and running like garb.

I opened up the muffler and its like a little rocket now

 

[MasterBlaster]

Spark arrestors? They get pulled and tossed in the trash, first thing.
