Good job Spencer. Nice even rounds on that main stem. Those would be great splitting if you were going to burn them. You’ll have to video that leaner. I took down a nice black birch this week. Beautiful smelling wood.

Nice vid as ever. I've got the holzforma Chinese ms200t and it's taken a bit of messing around to get it running well. Replaced the fuel and air filters for Stihl ones, shortened the line on the spark plug boot etc. But the main thing has been loads of fiddling around with the carburettor. That little saw sounded like the low screw needed adjusting to stop it bogging out as much on full revs. Just a thought and someone might've already mentioned it in the comments but it's worth a go.

You said it man: monkeying around with those carb screws has helped a lot, though I always feel like I'm experimenting when it comes to carb adjustment. Plenty of power and a bit more control now ... definitely less $$$$ out the door :)

I believe that the most important thing about a chainsaw is how easy it is to start. After it’s warmed up, does it always start on the first pull?

Yep this saw passes that test ... starts up great when warm. But it took some tuning to get the dang saw to run right AFTER that point

For me I just use the Uni for a backup anchor/lifeline and for coming down out of the tree. When climbing/pruning/limbwalking I'm still more into the rope runner. I have noticed that the Uni runs a lot better on thicker ropes, like my 11mil. Devices are just different and everyone seems to have a favorite

@metaspencer

Hey man, it sucks to drop it on the line! totally blows. Avoid that kind of stuff like the plague ... better to come down on a dual-rope system leaving a tag line on the spar

That's actually a decent little saw 😀 The starter cover on mine is a bit different... I have the "chainsaw" branded version... It's a good little runner believe it or not I have the exact same one guilty of treeson made a video with.. I dropped mine 40 feet (yes really) from a tree and it fell just right in some brush on the clutch side... only thing that happened was a couple of the mounts got out of place... as far as cheap chinese products go you can't ask for much more... I've also talked to another youtuber that made a video about it and he told me he passed it on to someone and 2 years later it was still running... not sure what the deal is but farmertec sells a very similar saw but with only one bar nut... I'm assuming yours is the 2 nuts... now on to the rest of the video!
