What Chainsaw do you run?

That 435 speaks volumes. That’s a homeowner saw. Good luck.

 

That's Ok. I keep all my saws in good shape as well

Woods porting is for production cutting & tree services as well as hobbyists such as myself



This 390 had the squish reduced, high output coil, ports cleaned but not significantly opened. I used it to help my arborist friend with his tree service.



Now this 026 had a full woods port

 

Pro saws ALL DAY LONG. Nice saws. 390’s can pull 36” bars with full comp and still come under weight compared to many that are slightly bigger in cc’s as you know.

Shoot, I wouldn’t maintain a 435 either…OH!

EDIT: If you want, I’ll send you the finger ported 390 to work with. Shipping on me. Ponder it some before you answer!!!!

 

@StihlToyota, here is the 390 cylinder’s finished porting.

 

I like that the idiots can’t flood it…

 

Stihl 290 Farmboss with an 18” bar.
Stihl 200t with 14” bar.

 

Here is a pretty amazing Locust I dropped about 2yrs ago. It was the biggest one I have seen in NC. Stood about 115’ and was as big as an oak at the base.

I am splitting it up and making a fence.

 

Yeah, a refurbished homeowner saw that just won’t die. Is it as good as a pro saw? Absolutely not. Does it cut up wood? Sure does. It takes longer and I want another pro saw but this one just keeps running.

 

I think 100% of new Stihl users flood their saw the first few times they try to start it. Not sure if it makes them "idiots", just inexperienced.

 

We had both idiots and inexperienced saw people working hurricane cleanup, who would have chainsaw certification at a minimum and none flooded their Stihl saws. The newer husky saws on the other hand….

that 500i is lightweight for its displacement and cuts like a dream, but the fuel usage was crazy high.

 

Yes, we don’t use it for traditional use. It’s a tool for tactical applications..

idiots, because they have no knowledge on how to use it, don’t ask for help, let their ego take control and then they go break shit or injure themselves. frustrating..

 

That’s the truth!

 

Thanks for the offer but my shoulders can no longer put up with high compression engines.
I sold 11 of my 12 woods ported saws. I kept the Husky 350 with ported 346 top end though.

 

Hear hear and all good. I don’t build them past 190psi. If the builder can’t make them buzz strong at that psi, he’s relying more on compression instead of flow.

Nice sleeper 350, with a 346 top end.

 

Working on a 3120XP two piece cylinder.

 

For you Stihl heads, an 084 stroked crank in a 3120XP Husky.

These hot saw builds are always fire.

 

More 661R firewood cutting

 

Bigger wood coming in now. The box wedge will split these rounds

Cottonwood, most of it solid
