I Bought The Cheapest AND Most Powerful Chainsaw On Amazon!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- So, I did a thing. On a whim, I bought this saw with only a few hundred reviews on Amazon and it was just over $100. For the price, you apparently get 63cc of power. Let’s see how this saw does!
6/17/24: UPDATE - the saw is now ported: • The First EVER Ported ...
Want to try the saw too?

Opening a new tool out of the box is us mens version of kids on Xmas morning. Nothing like it.
For sure! Thanks for watching buddy.
Men don’t by purple chainsaws FYI.
@@DoyleShadduck why? Because you're insecure about your masculinity?
As others have mentioned, DO NOT mix your gas at 25:1 unless you enjoy scraping carbon deposits out of mufflers and spark plugs. 40 or 45:1 is the correct ratio with modern 2 stroke oils.
Your chain tension is to high and both the bar and chain along with the drive sprocket are going to wear out in days rather than months or longer. New chains will stretch a lot when first installed but after an hour or so will be normal.
The best rule you can learn is that every time you stop for gas and oil when cutting, adjust your chain tension and run the file across every tooth 3 times. While it may seem like extra time not cutting it will actually save you a lot in the long term, as sharp chains are safer and cut faster and your bar and chain will last longer.
Your saw is not 63cc, more like 48 to 55cc. Every time someone lists a saw like yours for sale they add a few cc's to get more sales because "Bigger is better" right? I have 2 of these saws and buying one is like playing the lottery. You may get a good one and then again you may not? Stock up on oil pumps and the drive gear for this saw as they seem to wear out on a regular basis.
They are all copies of the same unit but the plastic is different colors with different odd ball names printed on them. Make sure your air cleaner is tight as they seem to have a tendency to leak and allow dust to get in the carb (not good). Also, replace the no name spark plug with an NGK or other half decent one. The one on the saw is garbage and it will quit at the most inconvenient time.
If you get a decent unit these saws run pretty good and will last a fairly long time. I can buy 5 of these for the same price of one Husqvarna. With that being said, you can bet that when I go to work My Echo CS271 and Sthil 041 and others are on the truck too. I'm not a gambler.
Good luck and spend some time on youtube learning all about your new investment. I will make your experience with this saw much better. It's a great way to improve your mechanical skills and a great saw to "loan" your neighbor, cousin and relative when asked about borrowing one.
Someone will eventually ask, it's just a matter of time and it is ALWAYS the person that should never be allowed near a mechanical device? They'll pick it up and come back awhile later, set it down and you hear the following words, "Travis, why did you loan me this junk? It only ran for 3 minutes,died and now it won't start anymore? You need to fix it!"
The oil to gas ratio won't matter in this case because it wasn't added. Problem solved! (Permanently LMAO!) Be safe, good luck and keep cuttin'
I appreciate your insight and comment - I like where you're heads at. The shared knowledge amongst this community is great! Thanks for watching, and keep cuttin'!
Love the color it completely different and that's what makes it great
It is interesting, right Patrick. I get bored of orange. Sadly this saw isn't available currently, just a top handle which we'll see soon on another channel. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!!
I have had the identical saw for over a year and a half Money well spent. I put a 24" bar on mine
Thanks for note, Glen. Do you feel the saw does fine with a larger bar? What brand of bar did you go with? Curious. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
@@TravisDoesFirewood I ordered an off brand from Amazon. It does fine with the 24. I use mine on the farm.I don't cut commercaly
Good to know, Glen. Thank you for sharing!
Not purple, it’s lavender.
@@rubentrujillo2013 you're probably right, but Lavender Monster doesn't roll of the tongue. Thanks for watching!
Congratulations and I’m glad it’s not pink. It looks similar to a new Black and Decker. Good Luck!
Pink would have been interesting. Thanks for watching. Keep cuttin'!
Just a note - This saw is not bigger than your Husqvarna 460. In reality almost all 63cc Chinese saws are actually 54cc-58cc. only a tiny hand full of higher quality Chinese saws exceed the 60cc mark in their 63cc class of saws.
The best thing bout this $100 saw is if it goes Pop, you can buy another one and be at break even point.
Best advise for longer life - Clean thoroughly after use and don't over tighten the chain. only use Non-ethanol gas and stick with the 25:1 for at least the first 10 tanks. 40:1 works nicely thereafter for this class of saw.
I like where you're heads at, thank you for the insight. A few other viewers have said the same re cc. Totally agree - a saw that you'll get your money's worth for $100 and when it breaks, then buy another - ha!
What's you're thoughts on premium gas vs. non-ethanol fuel?
Thanks for viewing, keep cuttin'!
@@TravisDoesFirewood Gas - Non-Ethanol usually has a decent octane rating. Even Premium can have 10% or more of ethanol.
Ethanol is hygroscopic and the longer it sits around the more water it absorbs.
Ethanol is what destroys Carburetors and fuel lines in small motors.
Stay safe!
@@crxess I appreciate your response. I'm tempted to switch my small gas engines from e-free to premium bc premium is easier to get and about the same price as e-free.
@@TravisDoesFirewood If you need to do that:
1)keep the fuel in the newer Air tight gas cans.
2) only store for long periods in Full Cans.
3) empty the Saws when not planning to use for any length of time.
certainly seems like a good bang for the buck . the colour would be the least of my concerns....thumbs up !!
It's still running strong, Gary, on its first gallon mix of 25:1. It's my new go-to saw at the moment. Sadly, it isn't available on Amazon any longer. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
pro tip, when u start it and the chain stops IMMEDIATELY when u let go, too tight! you want it to stop after maybe 1 spin, basically tight enough to not have a gap, but loose enough to spin a little freely. If you run them tight like that it will stretch your chain out way quicker and wear your bar like crazy from the added friction. the biggest thing tho, it will never cut as well if its that tight versus proper tension. 23 years in biz for reference. EVERYONE does this wrong, even tree guys and arborists ive hired had to be taught this same exact thing, so dont feel bad! cool little saw for the price! when i say little we rock 90-120cc saws for our "big saws" but its def a nice little saw!
also not sure how you sharpen, but i have a oregon bench sharpener. its amazing! sharpens my saws so sharp that its actually better than a new out of the box sharp chain!
This is a great pro tip, thank you Mitchel. I'll mention that in the next episode when the purple monster appears. And I'd love to have a wack had a 90-120cc saw however I feel it would definitely waay to much power for what I'm doing. Keep cuttin'!
I hand file. I'm not a pro at it but after watching Buckin' Bill Ray a few times, I'm getting the hang of it!
Cool video thanks for taking the time to make it!
@@gregwillett2363 welcome Greg, thanks for watching. Keep cuttin'!
Travis, great video. Seems like you and Chris had almost the same idea with a cheap saw.
Nothing wrong with a purple saw. Dont matter the color as long as it cuts and runs thats all that matters.
It looks like it does those jobs with no issues at all.
Im fixing to build a clone saw when i get a few days off work kinda excited to see how it does. Its here in a box just waiting to get assembled. Ill probably video it and see how that process goes. It also goes along the lines of "cheap" saws. Compared to OEM alot cheaper.
There is a trick to getting those chains untangle. Sometimes, they are a pain.
I just put a video out a few days ago for a new way im trying to store my chains to keep them from getting tangled. Might be something you would like or would help if you run into tangled chains alot.
Keep it up buddy
I know! Even though his videos are a week or so, I swear I don't copy what he's doing - ha!
Amen on color, brother - totally agree! Keep us posted on your clone build, should be fun.
I'll take a gander at that chain episode on your channel soon. Thanks again for watching. Keep cuttin'!
@travisdoesfirewood lol I know. He posted that video yesterday and you ordered this so that had to be several days ago plus the filming. Just the timing is comical lol
I've run into the same thing with a couple videos I've recorded. I get all the footage and not have it edited yet them someone puts out a video on a similar topic. Then I'm like crap people will think I'm coping them lol.
I will. It is a orange farmertec "holtzforma" I hope it turns out.
Sorry just getting to this. Agree the timing is comical, including when he and I did our jackhammer episodes - ha! I feel the same way, but there's not too much content/topics we can cover as firewood addicts, right? Keep me posted!
@@TravisDoesFirewood yes sir the topics are limited forsure. That's ok though everyone still has there own spin on things
I use 32:1 mix with 93 premium Shell Ethanol free fuel with Honda HP2 oil. This combination is like a “Forever Gas” 2 cycles will last a lifetime on it. Mixing 25:1 would be ideal for a heavy use milling saw I suppose, something ran wide open for extended periods lol.
I appreciate your insight. Be sure to check out the other episodes I have on this saw including the first ever ported Pinkway. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
On most chinese chainsaws it says 25:1 (oil/gasoline mixture) but it is completely wrongly translated (they confused milliliters with liters). What they wanted to say is 25 ml of oil 2t to 1 liter of gasoline but it works perfectly with a standard mixture of 20 ml of oil to 1 liter of petrol (50:1). Use only quality 2t oil mixture.
Goods points, thank for sharing. Keep cuttin'!
When you shook the gas with no cap and it splashed I was getting strong Gettin Learnt With Ricky vibes.
Gotta leave in the mishaps, ha. Ricky seems like my kinda guy. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
I watched a video where a guy could figure out the cc's and his so called 65 cc saw was only 58cc . But that's neither here nor there . I actually have had good luck with clones . If you kinda know your way around a chainsaw and aren't nervous about taking them apart ....cleaning them up can do them wonders at times.
That is wonderful to hear, thanks for watching! Stay tuned, we really test the Purple Monster on Friday. Keep cuttin'!
Have a very similar saw to this and after a few tanks I said to hell with this 25:1 mix. Fueled it with 50:1, tuned it to 4 stroke at free revving but cleaned up in wood and she goes really good. I’ve dropped it down to a 18” bar and hand file chains removing the gullet it it’s insane
5 years old now and cylinder looks amazing still
I hear ya. I just put out an episode today where I ported her, make sure to check it out. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
I'm surprised! It sounds great and it seems to run pretty well for that money. I think it's a great buy!
I'll do an update video soon. Sadly, you no longer can get this saw off of Amazon, only a top handle. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
When you flood a saw.
Make certain the choke is off.
The switch is on?
Lock or hold the throttle wide open.
Pull it about 10 times.
It will likely be running by 10.
Don't pull if it starts.😊
This is great into, Karl. Many thanks for sharing. Keep cuttin'!
I own an Amazon China Saw 63cc with an easy pull and so far since 2 seasons it works great. I'm sure it will not last 20 years like the name brands. Mine is a supmiix.
Good to know! Thanks for watching. Keep cuttin'!
I think they assume that people buying a cheapo Chinese saw will run garbage mix oil. Hence the 25:1 ratio. I run 40:1 echo red armor in my Holzforma 372XP(Chinese) and it runs great.
Good tip and insight, my friend. Make sure to check out the update on the saw - she's now ported! Thanks again for watching, keep cuttin'!
you can run it on 50:1. Guilty of Treeson did a vide on the same saw and he ran out of the 25:1 and uses the standard 50:1 mix and the saw ran like a champ .
My Pinkway unboxing came out months before Jacob's Pinkway, and the first Pinkway port job on YT. I'm running 50:1. Did a review on running 25:1 too. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin' brother!
I want to see it compared with the 68cc 20-in chainsaw from eBay and Amazon and I want to know the math for mixing the fuel and oil as I see some of the other Chinese chainsaws have that same mix and I like the idea of a lot of power for less money
Are you referring to the Proyama, Daniel?
If I want to mike 50:1 I believe is it two 2.6 ounces (5.2) for a 1 gallon can. On the back of mixing oil jugs will give you specs. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
I got one for my birthday!!!!! It needs better felling dogs - any suggestions?
Congrats, hope you like it. Check out the recent episode where I got the Purple Monster ported!
To your question, parts for these saws don't exist really, like a one-time-use deal. But I just saw someone use an old saw blade to sketch out new dogs, and then he used a cutter or band saw to cut it out. Keep cuttin'!
To measure your cuts, use the tip of the bar and paint a line (or tape, etc) on the side of your saw the length you want.
That's one way of doing it quick, I agree. Thanks for watching, and keep cuttin'!
Looks like a lot of saw for the money. Great video.
She rumbles! Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Good review kid. I enjoyed your video. Thank you. Tony here.
Many thanks, Tony! Thanks again for watching, keep cuttin'!
Since I'm not a professional lumber jack I think it will cut what ever I want to cut .
All true. Keep cuttin'!
25:1 is just double oil for 50:1. so if you buy a gallon bottle of the store stuff of 50:1 just dump in a little bottle and you are where you need to be.
Ah, that's an easy way to go about mixing - thanks for sharing. Make sure to watch the update episode on the saw - she's now ported!
Thanks again for watching, keep cuttin'!
I have started running Non-ethanol gasoline in all my small engines and have had fewer problems. Ethanol is hard on these small carburetors with diaphragms. And always winterize them, it makes a difference.
I agree with you, Dacell! I was going to switch to running premium gas as it's easy to get than e-free at the same price but then I just went back to buying e-free. Definitely needed to keep small gas engines running and not backed up. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Does ripping mean something different with firewood prep? I didn’t see any cuts I would call rip cuts.
That's a good question, thanks for asking. I am using the word "rip" or "ripping" as slang to mean "cutting through wood nice, fast, and loud".
Great video, thank you!
Very interesting and useful review. Thank you.
Thanks again for watching, keep cuttin'! Make sure to watch the update episode on the saw - she's now ported!

I use 3 4218 poulan saws and just switch them out until I get tired and load up the wood
I’m going to try one of these 25/1 saws
Sounds like a plan, Philip. Keep me posted!
They're ok for the price, tip: take a few minutes and go over the whole saw and make sure all the nuts bolts and screws are tight. The biggest problem with this chinese stuff is theres no quality control. You could probably buy 20 saws exactly the samejust different brand names and colors. And yeah that chain is going to stretch like crazy, thats normal. Cheers.
This is a great idea, thank you for sharing. I know I missed a few things (like how much it weighs) in this review/unboxing video so I'll cover that in the next time when the purple monster (like the name?) comes back. Keep cuttin'!
It sure was Buckin Billy Ray had done a video on how to untangle your chain an I have worked in the forestry industry for 30yrs and what Buckin Billy Ray shows people who love the power saw and teaches people how to use them safely and I am a new Zealand bushman hope you were impressed with the purple saw
Good point, Peter. I need to look up that episode from BBR. Purple Monster is a fun toy for the $. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
The air filter sucks on these types of saws.
Yeah, def. cheap crap. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Where do you get that measuring device on your chain plate from, and is it adjustable?
Acc-u-mark, I think amazon. This one is not adjustable but I believe there are some that are. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Ha ha, 😅 the chain might be facing the right direction, but you definitely put it on backwards 😅😂

Hey mate. Would love a video of your saws! Great work
Thanks for watching. I have a few episodes on this saw on the channel, including getting it ported. Stay turned for more. Keep cuttin'!
Another video poster that bought this same saw, tried 50:1 and it worked the same as 25:1. Food for thought.
Good point! I think I'll go with 50:1 soon. Stay tuned for a review episode. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
@@TravisDoesFirewood Good luck
couple people used 50:1 and it worked fine
Since this episode aired, other channels have tried the Pinkway and I'd say most used their standard 40 or 50:1 - correct. Follow along on my other episodes on the Purple Monster, including when I got her ported. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
I just ordered one earlier today
Stay tuned, I'll have another update in a few days. Make sure to subscribe, you wont' want to miss it! Keep cuttin'!
No fair! I can't find one!
They went out of stock right after I made this episode. Keep looking for the 63cc, as their top handle may always be available. Either the ACK or ACG, unsure what the difference is. Stay tuned on my channel, I have another update on the Purple Monster coming up soon. Keep cuttin'!
Alright bud few things here you obviously are not too experienced so here is some knowledge for you .....
1. Any chain when new and you start the saw up and rev it a little will stretch . Never mind a cheap Chinese one ..
2.more powerful than a 460 husqvarna I severely doubt that as you will be lucky if that is 55cc not 62cc as Chinese saws they always lie a little about the engine size . And if it is more powerful than your husqvarna then go and get the husqvarna checked out because it's not running correctly or out of tune.
3 . Putting fuel into a hot saw causes issues ? Wtf ? . What do you think the guys that are running the same saw all day every day do ????..
4 . I wish I had all that wood to cut .. and I am not going to lie it seems ok for the money because with a good quality chain it will cut even better as those Chinese ones don't hold the sharpness too well .
Thanks for the knowledge, Richard, and thanks for watching. Keep cuttin'!
@@TravisDoesFirewood wish I had your pile to cut for my stove . But honestly if you think that saw is more powerful than the 460 , truly the 460 is not quite right as in tune chain , carb problem. And do not and I repeat do not run it 25: 1 as it will totally gunk up the carb , cylinder and that muffler may have a dpf or whatever you call it as I know the weimars has and it's pretty much same saw . Run all including your husqvarna 40 to 45:1 far better and it will run better and cooler as it's more efficient . All the clone saws say 25:1 as they are going with the older spec of oils . It's not what the saw says to go by it's the makers of your oil you go by as they are the ones who have researched and developed there oil to a certain standard and if you use stihl ultra you will kill the saw in no time especially at 25:1 . That stihl ultra does not give any bottom end protection at 50:1 and if you go more it totally carbon up the saw . Use echo red armour or echo power blend gold or dominator anything but stihl ultra and always run 40 to 45: 1 and your machines will run sweet and less carburetor issues and less carbon build up and a little more protection. But definitely do not run 25:1
@@richardsneddon2976 Interesting re your stance on using 45 or 50:1 and not what the manual says to use 25:1. I'll ask this on my next update video and see what other wood hounds saw. I'm not opposed to the idea, and what you said in your last comment makes sense to me. I'm not an expert, and will be the first to admit when i'm wrong (as I mentioned in this video) and thus open to new ideas and suggestions. Thanks for the ideas!
@@TravisDoesFirewood all Chinese saws say 25:1 , I have an 038 clone and it says 25:1 . Like I said that saw inside the muffler has a type of dpf filter and if you run it 25:1 it will be full of carbon in no time and the heat can't escape out the saw and it will burn up . I and most of the tree guys as in full time professional arborists , loggers all run 40 to 45:1 . Because you always know that there is enough oil for lubrication without gunking up the carb , muffler and inside the cylinder and piston. . You do what you think is best run it 25:1 and see what happens. I just fitted a new cylinder and piston to a saw I bought cheap and the first tank I put through it was 25 to 30:1 and after the tank the oil was running all down the front of the muffler as there was far too much . But that is best when a first tank goes through a new saw or a new cylinder and piston. I could not imagine what state it would be in if I kept it that way for 5 or 10 tanks
@@richardsneddon2976 copy that, thank you sir!
It’s an easy start recoil you don’t need to yank hard on it just a slow pull
Good point, I found that out after the fact. Literally the first time using this saw. Check out the other episodes I have on it, including getting it ported (first one ever). Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
How do you like your Stihl 180c?
I got that from my dad (long story, I'll share it soon in a future episode I'll do on just my saws) but don't use it much. When I need something small to cut I'll reach for my Husqvarna 435 to keep the 180c as fresh as possible. Good eye, and keep cuttin'!
Looking forward to that episode. I can spot a Stihl lol.
I haven't ever used one of Stihl's easy start models before or one with that easier style of chain tensioner.
@@TravisDoesFirewood
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead it takes a bit to get used to, that's for sure. That's why I sold the new one I had of the same one.
Even in my Mac 10-10, i run 50:1. Yes, it smokes a little, but just like in my Mazda Rotary Engines i would rather see a little oil smoke (not a whole lot just a little) you know its getting enough than not enough when its needed the most.
Thanks good to know, Dan, thank you for sharing. I'm still on my first mixed gallon of 25:1, we'll see what I put in it next. Many differing opinions on this topic of what the Purple Monster should be run on. Keep cuttin'!
I wouldn’t be caught dead with a purple chainsaw, nor one made by Pinkway, I have standards even if they’re low.😝

Does the bar fit any other saw???😅
That is a great question, I honestly have no clue. I think the new chain I got for it was a special order. That's the bad thing about these cheap saws - no parts.

I run all my saws for years and years 50:1
Use what works. I did the 25:1 for the saw's first 1 gallon can, then went to 40and 50:1 to match my other saws.

Well, 32:1 for old homelites is 4oz/gal. So 25:1 would be more. 2.6 x 2 is 5.2, you should be good. Does bar have a grease hole at tip
Good insight, Brandon, and good question. No port at the tip but I did clean the gung from the bar rail today (surprisingly gungy) and I noticed that we have two oil ports on both sides of the bar (so it can be flipped). I'll look again tomorrow at the tip. I feel like I'm not answering your question, am I answering your question? Let me know buddy. Keep cuttin'!
@@TravisDoesFirewood yup, ya did. I bought a holzforma 372xp clone. Never ran good. OEM carb fixed that problem. Wasn't oiling the 24" bar good so I put OEM oiler on and idk if it works good or not. After doing that swap I tried to start it and it was locked up. Pulled plug & muffler, cylinder looked good. Pulled off recoil and that was good. Was able to free it by turning by hand via cooling fins. Put recoil back on, pulled bunch of times,👍👍👍. Put everything back on, pulled it, locked back up 🤬🤬🤬. It's at the shop. Told him if ya can fix for $250 or so great if not junk it. Best part, I've cut MAYBE 1 CORD w it 🤬👺🤬👺🤬👺🤬👺. So my opinion of the cheap saws is definitely ya get what ya pay for. If ya get more you're damn lucky🍀🍀🍀🍀
@@brandonhoad9033 oh geez, what a saga. Definitely agree - you get what you pay for. I hope I can cut enough with the Purple Monster so it can pay for itself.

Consensus is I agree. Be sure to check out the other update episodes on this saw, including when it got ported! Thanks for watching, keep cuttin!
Engine size means nothing with 2 strokes. Many of these Chinese saws put out a lot less power than name brand saws with smaller engines. It’s how the engine is designed, ported, and engineered.
All true, I agree!

@@DanielAtkinsFirewood I'm glad you found it entertaining 😂
@travisdoesfirewood : You're welcome.
In case you didn't know, there is a channel just north of Spokane called Taz-Man Kenny Fuller. He has an event scheduled in mid-June. It was a lot of fun last year, and I got to meet a few people who are good friends.
That's sounds great! Other wood-focused events seem to be so far away. Spokane is more doable!
17:36 saw with open sprocket is not good, wood dust will jam there quicker
Good to know, thanks for sharing. Keep cuttin'!
If you've ever seen what the Chinese call professional saw operators you would understand the pro use on the box. 😂
I've seen some pretty intense videos of what people can do with any type of saw, crazy stuff. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Thanks bro
I have a few follow-up episodes on this saw, including getting it ported, if you're interested. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
@@TravisDoesFirewood I am thanks ima check em out bro
Think 25:1 is 3.4 oz to 1 gallon of 91
Something like that, yeah. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
I bet the insecure men about the color of the saw will not laugh when that purple saw digs into their leg
The Purple Monster is def. not a toy ;) Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
I refuse to believe these saws will last more than 20 hours. You get between 1,500-2,500 hours out of most saws like Stihl and Husqvarna as long as you take care of them. If this saw can cut for a whole year without blowing up I would be impressed
I've had this one since Feb., and have more than 20 hours on it...and now it's ported. I've take care of it. Even if it died at 20 hours, I got my money out of it. Stay tuned on the channel, let's see if it lasts a full year. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
I've had something similar for over 2 years now, well over 20 hours. It's a Supmix, looks like the exact same saw, made in China. Its been great
@@chad1755 I feel there's many that are the same but paint them different and call them by another name, ha. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
good news it's a Japanese clone, bad news it's really 54.6 cc, pull the recoil and you'll see 58 marked on the cylinder at the bottom
ECHO clone, then?
Not true.its a Chinese made clone,and the 63 cc will Actually be around
59 cc.so it is,esentially,a 60 cc saw
The price is right and when it stops, buy another one, and have some spar parts
Totally agree with you!! I don't think I can find someone locally who would be able to fix it.
That saw on Amazon is almost 4 hundred.
I'm just wondering why a purple, and silver chainsaw would be called "Pink Way".
Yeah know, William, that is a great question. Maybe a translation issue, IDK. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
@@TravisDoesFirewood other than that it's a Zenoah clone engine used in Redmax chainsaws.
It is amazing the clones and clones of clones, tough to keep track. But there are many of us firewood addicts who are loyal to one brand and wont go knock-off.
Because the purple headed monster go in the pink way !!! 🍆
Probably actually 54-58cc’s
Consensus in this episode's comments is that you are most likely correct. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

If you run pure oil it will last forever
That's the theory, Clint. Be sure to check out my recent episode on the Purple Monster - she's now ported! Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Try some hot black tea and lemon juice and 🍯 honey as A drink for your health. It'll relief you A lot man. I recommend trying out both of those things out for yourself. Cause I think you might benefit from both of them. Bro. Watch some UA-cam channel videos on how to DIY repairs and fixing your own equipment and small engines stuff to. You'll make it man. Just hang in there bro. for real. That's where you'll make it your own unique thing about your own UA-cam channel to. Cause all of them out there has their thing just like that they do to Travis as we'll man.
Thank you, John, for your concern about my health - truly. It's true I lack sleep. I think we all need to ensure that we take care of our mental and physical health, as both impacts each other. Thank you for watching, keep cuttin'!
Interesting video , could it be a nock off of a Husqvarna , 👍
I think you may be correct, Len. But the 25:1 is throwing me.
It's a zenoah clone.
@@benjaminleslie3155 I haven't heard of that brand before
@@TravisDoesFirewood me neither 👍
Zenoah is a Japanese 2 stroke manufacturer, I believe they are owned by Husqvarna now. Zenoah makes great engines. @@TravisDoesFirewood
I would run nothing fatter than 32:1 they are saying 25 to cover their ass that the cheap piston and ring doesn't lock up in one tank. break in with 25:1 if you want for a tank then run 32 0r 40:1
Good thinking, Kevin. I appreciate you chiming it. Be sure to stay tuned as I use and maintain the Purple Monster in future episodes. Keep cuttin'!
What was that? Please say it again. Husqvarna? hehe
There's the Swedish way of saying Husqvarna, and how most people in the U.S./Canada (possibly other regions) would pronounce it. However, a lot of wood hounds would just default to using the nickname "Husky" as it may be easier to say. I try to use all three ways of pronunciation. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
The guy at Guilty of Treeson bought the same saw and ran it on 25/1 and then on the second day ran it 50/1 and said the was absolutely no difference in the saws performance. They felled and Bucked 6 trees with it.
Correct, I saw Jacob's episode on his Pinkway - came out a few months after I did mine. He's actually on the other side of the mountains from me in WA, hope to do a collab with him at some point. Keep cuttin'!
Have tried some melatonin bro. You might.,or could benefit from using it man. It'll help focus better and think clearer thoughts to. It's sounds like you might need some of it. You must not sleep very good either huh man?
I have a 19m old....
It takes a lot of guts to put your severe stuttering problem on display for the world. What a horrible psychological problem. Kudos to your bravery.
There's worse problems.I realy didn't even notice..
He's much more clear than most people.
Being full of sh** is much bigger problem.
Being judgemental is a massive impediment.
I wouldn't call it "severe" but thank you for the comment. My 500 sub episode I go into my struggle with stuttering and how the channel has helped me. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
Many thanks for watching and your support. Thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
lololol
I'm happy for you. The quality of Chinese products vary depending on where they are exporting. Keep cuttin'!
You don't use gloves? What??
Are gloves a part of PPE? Let me know.
@@TravisDoesFirewood
Cut logs have things called splinters.
They have sharp edges.
If that doesn't bother you and you never get cut working bare handed: you must lead a charmed life.
I wear gloves when I feel I need to. Take a look at my other videos. Thanks for watching.
