Since I've gotten better at porting I can get almost as much out of the Zenoah 5800 clones with the stock carb as the big 372 carb/intake. I was over porting at first, removing too much from the intake and lower transfers, the big carb covered that up still running good like that. I only buy better bars/chains for them now all the hops up cost is time/dremel bits.
I have one Zenoah 5800 clone with a 372 carb I ported 4-5 years ago and 1 I ported last year with the stock carb and they're pretty close power wise. The one with the 372 carb is better in small stuff as it piss revs to 15000rpm instead of 14000rpm but they both run 11000-12000rpm dogged in trying to cut as fast as possible.
It's kinda fun cutting wood beside a guy with a new very expensive 550xp and clearly out cutting him with a sub 200 dollar saw, that's even smaller and lighter.
You can learn stuff from some of the guys on youtube but anyone can post a video so there's a lot of crap on there.OK ... so "THIS" is why I am here asking questions ... wading through the armchair personalities ... to finally hear from someone who has put brains to work and made something "better". I am all ears. I would rather put the work into a small cheap saw that outperforms by 10-12cc (or %) and weighs 3+ pounds less. If it burns ... I can have 3 spares sharpened and ready and be happy I have depth of spare parts. (ALL for the same price of just one "foreign" saw of a non-Chinese origin) Thank you. I was just about to give up "fishing" in this pool and wade through the dreaded YouTube. Though they don't throw peanuts at you for seeking knowledge.
How did you find there’s disinformation? By watching a different Youtube vid?There's good reason I don't watch youtube for actual information. Too much misinformation being spread, combined with people who don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about, really just entertainment than anything else. I will say that I like Kevin's style of videos where the saw does the talking instead of someones mouth
Crackpipe Contributing ControversyYou don`t see them run a time on a stock can with a larger than stock outlet, the stock OEM mufflers are choked up but if they opened it up to a 3/4" or even a 1" outlet the saw would perform as well or better than the fancy shiny custom made ones do.Those crackpipe contrivances shown in the first post would only make more power because of the huge exhaust opening, nothing to do with the design as such.
The question is what would you change?Yep more likely to see my crack than my face in my vids. The saws have always sold themselves so I’m not changing anything now
Thanks
