Not sure yet. Maybe carb or loss of compression... Guy said it would cost about the same as a new saw - so waiting to find out.
Struggling to find a good mechanic here in North Carolina.

I feel like you are reliving my last weekend - sort of.
The tree psyched me out (found myself waking up in the night, the heat for two days was horrendous). I took a break for a half day and went back to it fresh and wondered what all the fuss was about!
165ft and 25” at 70ft mark. The last...
I hear you. But... going through that adds to experience. Good call to take a break.
This heat has seriously got me thinking about a power ascender. My perspective is that having one would mean more frequent breaks could occur and also that more energy is conserved to work the tree.
I am...
I think you may find the rails on the top part of your bar are ‘widened’. Try taking a flat file and removing the burr edge (careful as it can be razor sharp). A tiny ridge can cause what you are describing.
Try to rotate the bar from time to time to make sure wear is even.
Let us know how you...
Your answer got me thinking..
How about this:
Normal choke around the log leaving a desired loop length to clip to the speedline with the free end being cow hitched above and backed with a timber hitch.
This means that the weight of the log
will chock both bottle and top hitches!

I have purchased a long sling to use for a vertical speedline where the rounds are
300-400lbs.
I want to use the sling to choke around the log and clip the free end to the speedline. However, I would like to adjust the free end to remove slack. Tieing a knot is not what I want to do as I image...
Just bought a 461 and understand that a wrap around handle is available for it. Does anybody have experience / comments about using the alternative
Wrap-around?

I am new to the US and based in NC. Learning new tree here which are different from where I come from in the UK.
I think, what I have been cutting up is oak. It did not smell like oak as I know it so looking for help!

Excellent point. The scenario I am thinking of is using a 15ft lanyard, as a secondary point of connection, in a moving rope configuration (rope goes around an anchor point) and end terminated in a D ring / bridge.
Essentially, replacing the prussik loop on my secondary line.

Hi all,
Can this device, when used on a long lanyard, be used to descend? I am wondering if it ‘jerks’ when under tension?

I am thinking about buying one but have a question:
Does it ensure the length of each tooth is the same or is it still necessary to count file strokes to ensure an even chain?
