Performance saws

[SawTroll]

Not cool, I think generalisations about large portions of the population from a different country may be stepping over the line.

I see the point - but it is obvious that the tolerance level regarding low quality items is much higher on some markets than on others.

Bit silly seing its a popular saw all over the world not just one country

I just have to say that, I never said anything about the 390 being the best saw to modify its just a saw I have sitting around that needs a rebuild, now for starters people on here want proof of what I can do not just put up a model number of a saw an have a slanging match on how much of a piece of rubbish it is ( sawtroll ).
So I'll try this then, you guys pick a saw to modify and supply it to me, everything I said earlier still stands except instead of selling it ( because it's not mine ) it can be auctioned off or something like that or even you guys decide what happens to it.
If that's how I prove myself I've got no problem with that at all

It doesnt matter what model saw you port,do what ever you like or have on hand.

Popular in very few markets (mainly the US, and maybe Oz), as far as I know.

It is what it is anyway, a heavy plastic cased saw with a "clamshell" engine.

do the ms 39 anyway
it would be nice to see what the difference between stock and ported

Without stickers you'll never be taken seriously.

Well, the MS390 is crap with a plastic case anyway, far from a professiomal chainsaw - it doesn't matter how you calculate the power output back and forth, it still is low for the size and weight of the saw.

But still has a better air filter for oz then ur husky snot. Pull ur head in, he's just trying to make a go of a business that we don't see many others doing here in oz unless it's for racing as mentioned before.

Bit harsh on the Husky snot comment!

T-Shirts and tattooes is where it's at.

Irrelevant here as well - just crap!

That thing obviously was made mainly for the US market, where more people don't understand what the word quality means, or see the difference.

It is cool, because SawTroll is right. There are more gullible people here per head than anywhere else. If you stamp, "Farm," or "Country," or "Boss," "Diamondback," "Blackhawk," "Cobra," or "Magnum," on it you can sell it to somebody that didn't need a Viper or a Trans Am in the first place. (Especially if it is good for the children or the environment.) 90% boneheads. How do you think I've made such a handsome living off the (Wicked) Timber Crusher Skoal Splitter Magnum?

If it don't work call it, "Boutique," offer them points to redeem, new customer discounts or in a three stage upgrade. lol

Welcome to the forum. The MS390 is a less than ideal choice for a couple reasons. With it being a clamshell, there it's nothing practical that can be done to set the squish or increase compression. It's much more difficult to pull back apart for porting changes. It's much harder to port, because the ports are farther down in the barrel. They're a decent saw, but certainly but the best choice for real mods.

When did Australia and the US become "all over the world"? Anyway it is what it is, a heavy and cheaply made "homewner" style saw with a plastic case.

I commented on the saw model in question and some statements - nothing else that I know.

Also it is a long discontinued model in most of the world - they tried to dump them really cheap more than 5 years ago here.

Thank you for the welcome blsnelling and your advise is definitely taken, it's just a saw I have sitting around nothing more and I'm now thinking just leave it where it is lol, would you have any suggestions in what is more ideal ( and liked ) to modify as I'm more than happy to listen to what your suggestions may be.
tlandrum, everything that has been said has all been taken in, and I appreciate your honesty on these matters.
So in saying that what would your choice of saw be to modify for all you guys to check out, I'm actually rather keen to do this because I haven't seen this sort of interest on somthing for a while now and I look forward to speaking with you guys further

 

[Buzznutsoz]

Pick something common, well liked, and relatively easy to get good gains from. I'd go for a 346XP, 372XP, 390XP, MS440, MS460, MS461......

I'll send you an MS660 copy to play with.
