How has this Ashley 3200 been heating your shop ?
I see that you have the pro model? Can I do that to a regular g660 also?
Yeah. Same stuff on the regular model
@ Thanks so much for the response. I was always wondering how to get more out of my saw. And thanks to your informative video. I know how to now. Thanks again.
the 440 is the best all around saw i think but i do love the 550 mark2 for most the work i get to do
I did everything with a 350 for many years. Many times I prefer lugging 5 less lbs around
@Man-Time man you ain't joking. I'm 46 now and 20 years ago I wouldn't mind the weight of a 660. 10 years ago a 440... now days a 50cc saw is what I grab almost always. I love messing around with my saws but for any real work it's hard to beat a strong 50cc saw
No doubt that’s right
id love to have an oem 044 or 440. i have the g444 big bore ported and i love it.
Ported saws that run good are plenty to get the job done
U got it man ! Let the saw warm up for a good 2-3minutes vs starting it up and yarding on it right away. Top end will last WAY longer
Yes Sir, the 044 is def 1 of my fav Stihls and on the other side of the coin is the Husqy 372. Dunno if I could pick my fav between those 2 as they both go on the back of the pickup when I'm cutting. I'll start off with the 044 but at the end of the day (literally) I'll grab the 372 just because of its superior AV....
Those two 70cc class saws are really handy for medium to big wood! Excellent grabs for varied to unknown wood size, and all day firewood
A fuzz above the g372 eh ? 😂😂😂
Askrd local guy can ya advance my saw. Hes no no dont do that. Asked can put 1\4 sproket on it. Just goes i dont do that what ya meen? Haha i want it.
Timing advance is more art than science and usually requires some trial and error. A sprocket and chain swap is pretty common stuff
Did muff mod to my 150t. Works great. Did same to mates new 151 that never aran right. But i cleaned it up well. No bits. Runs good sometimes but really been a shitter' the 150t still great.
Why buy Chinese unless you absolutely have to? Buy North American and employ your neighbors. But if it’s too expensive, which it can be, then buy from friendly nations at least!
Did this model 338xpt can use full chisel chain dor 16 inch bar
Oh yeah. That’s what I use
and can you tell me which one it is the exact type of that chain that would I could buy it
You’d need to reference the bar for the number of drivers and rail width. Typically they’re 3/8LP .050 but the number of drivers will vary. Different manufactures have different names for their full chisel “professional” chains also. No way to give a part# that will fit for sure
Thanks broo
Please let us know how you are doing with this stove. I have been running the Ashley 3200 for about a week this thing just draws to much air - burns hot - eats wood. Have tried a couple of adjustments. Just wonder how yours is doing.
I’ve read some reviews where a flu dampener was needed to slow down the burn. I plan on installing one during installation
Gotta use some wedges as well. Makes it much easier on the saw and you. My first wedge goes in as soon as possible at the starting point and I add more on each side every time I feel it slowing down.
More wedges*
Blaze King, of the three.
Looked great in the end. I've got to tackle this same project with a trailer. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks! It did turn out really nice. Those screws were a real pain, but worth the blisters
Threebond 1184 is wut i use , or in a pinch moto seal.
Both tires have to be off the ground in order to spin one of them, limited slip rear differentials .
Well that is the right answer. Should have caught that! Thanks!
I love mine! 2 years..0 problems
Can I have 272 used and in very good perfect working condition. I'm in Uganda
Warm chimney pipe up first on a cold stove small fire cardboard and paper or take torch and warm pipe up on the inside if you can reach the it must have a draft in chimney for stove to work correctly that is pulls outside air in though air vents pull air across the fire and takes it out though the chimney cold pipe or no pipe no draft no air flow wood can't burn
Put straps around stove lift up with tractor mount the stand under stove move it into building or used a cart with wheels to move stove into finally resting place not that heavy of a stove my hand fed stove comes in at 650 lbs now that's heavy
The chimney is the engine on any stove without a pipe on it you will not have a draft to take air in though the vents and draw out though chimney pipe you need a pipe on the stove you also need a coil spring on the handle or you will get burn you hand when you forget your glove
All good points jcc. I’ll be installing the stove pipe soon and getting it fired up a 2nd time with all the goodies installed
Working properly, put some stove pipe on even just a 4 foot piece and you will see a difference
I have the US2000-P smaller brother version of that stove. It does need a chimney. My chimney location, without the fire lit, is always drawing some air upward when the wind blows. On my version of the stove, the door handle has a machine screw holding a roller to cinch the door down and the threads poke past the handle latch mechanism just right to catch the frame to hold the door open around 1/8" or so when starting. A few times I needed the door cracked more (wood quality issue) so I lightly clamped a pair of vise drips to the little shelf below the door to keep it at the right spot. with a good chimney creating draft, it lights pretty easy and rips hard. Cooks me out of my 1500sqft house if I get wild and keep packing it full lol. Yours should too once connected to a chimney. I have 20ft of chimney.
That roller latch sounds nice! Mine just has a typical chunk of steel hanging off the hand lever. Then bent piece off the inner side to act as a cam. I’ll need to loosen the latch bolt to get that set correctly
How did you reset the settings on the pressure relief valves when reassembling?
I just did 1 turn open on the pop off valve if I remember right. The proper way would be with a pressure valve as the book describes
@Man-Time mine come apart without having to undo any adjustment setting luckily. There are two o rings in there to change. I made a quick video on my disassembled block
Hey man, i bought my saw (ms660) used off a guy who works on saws. What do you suggest my next step be here? I have the dotted serial number on my saw. The chain cover seems to be stihl. The handle, air filter, air filter plastic, and pull cord cover all seem to be replaced. Is it possible my saw was a parts saw at one point and just rebuilt with some non-oem parts? What would be the #1 thing to look for on the powerhead? I understand Stihl does use parts stamped with PA66-Gf 30. That number signifies the type of plastic (polyamide 66) it is.
I mean that might be an expensive saw to somebody who had to rebuild it with new aftermarket parts. Sounds like the case halves and most likely the real expensive parts are OEM. I don’t know that you’d be able to read stihl off the cylinder, but you might be able to see it on top of the piston be removing the plug and spraying brake clean down the hole. If you paid good running used saw price and have a good running saw I wouldn’t worry about it too much
we won't hold your degrees against you😅
You need a chimney before you really get a good idea of how it will operate. I think a double wall pipe keeps the pipes hot a little better and helps with the draw. I have a short 15' pipe and my draw is ok, think a taller stack would help. Even my little 1200 sq ft stove weighs a ton, it was a bear to move that into my shed. You'll enjoy that once you get a pipe on it and burning it outside is smart b/c that paint does stink!
Yes all good points. I did get a small glimpse of how both the primary and secondary air is supplied. With the stack/draft it should be a good runner
You stated that the chimney would help a little bit with the draft. From my experience,the chimney is the key to draft. The longer the better. Also, install a damper to adjust it. In summary, no chimney no draft.
Excellent point. I was thinking that. I’ve got an 8 ft section I was thinking about hooking up for the 2nd burn
i have an old model 20 but i need to find someone in connecticut that repairs. any ideas anyone, thanks.
Try the AFCA website or Facebook page. Lots of good folks there
What about the hydraulic fluid fittings? Is there an O ring seal behind them? I think mine is leaking on the bottom of these fittings
I don’t remember any o rings. There are seals of some sort on the valves, both top and bottom.
@Man-Time I got it apart, there is an o ring behind the fluid fittings on mine.
@Man-Time did you find out where the valve is that keeps the boom from swinging side to side on its own?
@FourthWayRanch you can likely trace the hoses back to the valve block. Likely the cylinders will need repacked though
I bought a aw40 ashley wood stove , what a screwing. the stove is a piece of work. what happened to wonder wood.
Ashley is owned buy us stove with a price rise.
You can tell the younger fella doesn't run saw very much. Either way good vid guys!
Why not just advanced the ignition module instead?
That is a very good point! It would likely be easier to pull out a round file and elongate the coil screw holes to advance. Never seen it done but would work
iron horse sent me
Hi , you still have your g372? I bought one and had gas tank vent issue. Fix that and got the carb to work right.
12:52 this is exactly where I am with a near identical saw from the same clone supplier at this exact moment. sigh, put down, go look for clues lol. but I'm a schlep who has barely used a chainsaw more than a few hour total time, not a guy who knows what he is doing e: 9:05 my butterfly valve doesnt move when I adjust the idle screw. Heck, it doesnt even move when I press the throttle handle (while saw off. havent gotten saw started for first time yet). It only move when I pull the choke. that said, my boot and valve setup are a tiny bit different from yours. i got my saw 2023, so its probably just a different/updated carb im guessing. Still, I'm not sure if this is how it is supposed to be, or if I'm screwing up, or if the saw is screwed up 😅 2nd e: got fuel feeding, the comp bypass is working, got the idle and high/low speed screws set in at least a good enough place to start, but still cant start. gotta test spark next i guess. 3rd e: inconsistent spark. not sure why 🤔 4th: I'm a maroon lol, it was inconsistent because it wasnt fully grounded. figured that out with my finger 🤣. So, I have spark, fuel, compression, the set screws are all set (throttle screw just barely engaged, low and high jets 1 full turn open) and she just wont start. not even a cough. hmmmmm 5th: okay, just to keep documenting for any lurkers who might be having issues, there are TWO butterfly valves. one for the choke, one for the throttle. I'll bet more capable people than me already knew that lmao. both are working just fine. still not starting. 6th: performed some adjustments as advised by video author. still not starting. time to consider that I may have bought a dud. I'll keep twiddling with it, but not today!
Dang you’re really going through it man! I’d open up the low screw 2 turns to start and idle in a few also. Until it gets going. Make sure that choke is closing all the way. Spark plug tight? They just aren’t good saws and I don’t recommend them anymore.
@@Man-Time spark plug is tight, also an NGK. I'll make those adjustments as you advised. When you say idle in, you mean more closed or more open? I dont mind going through it, I just want there to be a happy ending! of course, I ordered it knowing the cost could be a write off, so hey. that's what I get for ordering direct from china and not from an importer who presumably will have checked the saw and would be my recourse if this one is just bust. trying to save me 100 cost me 250 haha it doesnt help that every time she doesnt start she gets flooded after a dozen pulls so I just gotta set her aside to evaporate out
@@Man-Time just noticed that yours is the XP and mine is the XT, so that explains the differences
@FoxtrotYouniform well if it’s getting flooded then leave the choke off. Pull the plug and crank it over a few time if it floods and check to make sure the plug is wet The idle adjustment to have higher idle is clockwise. I wasted my money on mine also. Basically had to rebuild it and still wouldn’t run right. Waste of time was worse than the $
@@Man-Time thanks for the help! I tossed it into the 'shame' corner of the workbench and I plan to aggressively ignore it for a day or two then try again. You've been awesome, and your video got me waaaay farther than anyone else's did!
you would be better to find some rough cut hardwood and then coat it with diesel/oil mix
yeah treated wood seems not to last any longer than non treated wood, I treated my trailer wood with a fifty fifty mix diesel and used oil, used a pump sprayer to apply it a couple coatings and it's holding up real good going on five years now
Great treatment suggestion. I’m having trouble even finding the right size wood. Apparently the big box stores stoped selling anything over 16’
I just set one of these up recently myself. Definitely caps up, for clearance and for refueling - on a long run, you’ll use more than a tank of fuel. I find it easier to set the spacing between the bar clamps and leave it. It’s actually easy to slide the saw in when you have the clamps loosened. On my mill the cast crossbars didn’t sit square on the rails - I threw them in my mini mill and squared them up. You can purchase 30 x 30 mm t slot channel online cut to length and extend the rails as long as your little heart desires. Good stuff - cheers.
Thanks man! That t-slot channel suggestion and leaving the mill as an assembly and just removing off the bar. Good stuff!
I think you should flip the saw because right now you can’t saw to close to the ground or whatever your wood is laying on. I run mine the other way around because of this. Hope you understand what I meant :)
Yeah I am doing a follow up video on the correct setup. You are right. Caps up. The online manual and pictures showed it like I set it up. So much for instructions
@ yeah I forgot to mention the issue of refueling :) Usually they come with some half visible Chinese instructions that are awful :) I even rebuilt mine to make it work for a longer sword or maybe it’s called blade by you. Either way it’s always great content for others looking to get one. GJ. :)
DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO ON THE BRAKES
Make sure that your end clamp is at least an 1 1/2 away from the bar sprocket or you’ll smoke it in about 2 passes.
Excellent point! I clamped behind the nose sprocket where the bar and tip are riveted together
Finally! I can’t wait to see that thing in action
Ok. Just calm down
Great job .I'm about to weld that cheap tool that did u no good right to the cap and try that... I'm going to weld the pins right in the put the tool onto the pins so the tool will stop falling off. That tool is great for a non stuck cap..but sucks for stuck one...Ive been trying a lot..even added some heat with the acetylene torch but I haven't managed to lock on to the cap to back it out..even my giant pipe wrench just eats into the cap then twist of... Great video mines in a much lower spot.. so I won't be able to do it quite like you did.
That’s a great idea! Weld that pos spanner tool to the cylinder and weld it together so it doesn’t span apart. Use some heat and a big breaker bar. Why didn’t I think of that!
Blaze King is made in USA or Canada and is the best. Good luck,
if you get the saw running and spray something like brake cleaner or starting fluid on the seal and the engine rpm changes you know you have a leak
Do you know how tall the pedestal is?
Not tall enough, if you don't want to be bent over tending the fire then put it on a platform. I built my hearth 16" tall and it's comfortable to load it. I have the US stove 3200
