    24"s on a 245

    Who has a modded 245 and what is a good B&C set-up for felling and bucking large oaks? How well does it pull a 24" and what chain do I need? Full, semi? I have a feeling I'll be slinging some chips with one soon.

    Plan on running mine with a 28 at the GTG today. Will make note of it.
    Looking for a clean, running Husky 435. Shoot me a PM if you have one to spare.

    Looks good Joe. If you lubed the cylinder before replacing it some of that increase in comp will be from the lube.

    I agree with the others that you may have an air leak. Started one of my 3300's that ran perfect a month ago. Now can't get idle below 4200rpm. Did a pressure test and found cylinder gasket was leaking. Something else to work on.

    I use a 24" bar, full comp, chisel chain, on mine. Now, I havn't done any felling of large oaks with mine. I only have the one 245A, so I havn't been using it as a "work saw". I have several other saws to fill that bill nicely. A 385xp & 5200.

    I would like to get another 245A sometime, so I can use it to its full potential. They are great running, powerful, light weight, 74cc saws.
    P/C are kinda hard to find, so I just use mine for fun..

    Gregg,

With a 505 cylinder,piston, and muffler, I believe one could make a 505 out of a 475. Unless of course the cylinder base is different.
    Thanks for confirming what I thought would be the situation. So for all practical purposes, the 505 and I suppose 525, 545 handles will not work on the 415 and 475. Not a direct swap anyway.

    A 20-28 will be fine. A 24 is kinda the sweet spot for them but they get nose heavy that way.

    Thanks.....
    Randy, I'm not at home and cannot look it up but the P/C acutually are sized a little different between the plated and unplated.

    Bad idea trying to mix them.

    Joe, using only Indian head shellac for a cyl sealent makes me nervous. That stuff is pretty thin.

    Might be OK though, I never used it for that but I would sure keep a eye on it.

    My feelings too. Did you lap the cylinder and crancase surfaces? If not, there may be too much surface imperfections to be taken up reliably by the Indian Head. That stuff's not meant to bridge gaps, and may develope cracks (from vibration) and voids if used that way. Air leaks...

    Don't tune old saws with a tach!
    Tune the H side so that it burbles (four strokes) at WOT unloaded and just cleans up when under load. When you lift cutting pressure, the saw should revert to four stroking.

    Poulan S6000 or Pro-655......?

    If you could pick between an S6000 (Basically a Domar 153) or a Pro-655 (Rebadged P series Pioneer 62?)...which would you pick?

    Reasons why?

    655, reason for me would be it is a animal. Out of all the big poulans that I've owned 655, 6000, 5200, 5400, PP505 and 8500, the 655 had the most power and rpm. It's also the only one that has the sound that comes with the horizontal piston saw.

    You probably have ran them both more then I have but I ran em both back to back and I'm not so sure the 655 is stronger. Maybe it is but the 6000 seemed to pull harder while the 655 seemed to rev higher.

    I still agree with your choice though, lots more parts out there for the 655.

    Gregg,
    That's some nice saws right there Gregg.
    I'm a cheap bastid right now, just starting out trying to make a few extra bucks. Can't drop that much on a newer saw right now. Plus, I want people to look twice when that old green saw fires up and starts slinging chips.
