Removing the divider in the carb necessary?

I'm not sure. I have always removed them, but think I've heard of others that have not. This might be a good application not to. What's your experience with them?

I dont know why they put the warning I have never heard of anything going wrong with them. maybe the magnets get dizzy.

They can explode.

I gotta ask how big a difference did just the carb make? Did you check the rpm in the cut by chance?

I intended to, but got caught up with making all the changes I had in mind last night and did not. I would go back to the factory carb, but ruined it trying to bore it out.

I'm now holding as high as 13,000 in the cut with a light load on a very aggressive chain. It's over 12,000 with a medium load.

Wow!! You really stood on your head to get that baby running the way you wanted! Looks & sounds like it was worth it!
Bummer on the shingles. Reminds me that I should get the vaccine, since I am a likely candidate.. I hope you get over this episode soon.

Looks like I may be playing with the RWJ as I have a new one in the drawer. I hear they work good but do have fit issues and a lot of mods like you encountered Brad.

I went back out in the garage and came up with a solution. Believe it or not, a 372XP XTorq non-HD filter elbow is a direct fit on the Dolmar filter! I modified the intake boot so that it could be rotated, although I believe you could probably use a 390XP intake boot. Now that the carb sets flat, I was able to rotate the choke arm back down as it's supposed to be, and then bend the choke rod to fit. The choke now works as it should; pull to choke and push to run. This means that I cannot run the Dolmar HD filter, but I had to maintain the HD plastics with the hydrographics. I accomplished this by cutting out the center of the base and the front of the cover. Everything now fits and aligns as a factory saw. I'm very pleased with the results now. I didn't like giving up the HD filter, but proper functionality was more important to me.

Dolmar elbow on the left, Husky on the right. No, it doesn't push into the grommet in the air box, but it does rest on the legs. I don't see this being an issue at all. Also, I had to use 372XTorq carb bolts to reach through the longer adapter bosses. I robbed them from my 372, so an order will have to be made to put my saw back together, lol.

Identical

Here's the custom choke rod. It has been bent and shortened.

Here's the final look with the black handle, cylinder, muffler, dawgs, and bar nuts.

that's got to be one of the most "tricked out" saws on AS. Looks really good.

I didn't have near as many mods to get that carb to work. I took the choke out anyway. I can squirt a shot of fuel in and run it.

The choke was the main driver of these mods.

Very nice work Brad!

If there was a "runway" for "hot looking" saws, that one would take the blue ribbon!!!

After 4 months, this saw is finally done and headed home. I went round and round with the hydrographics guy trying to get it right. I'm glad I did. It looks fantastic!

Meh, too slow!
That Stihl bar is stealing too much UMPH.
That sweet saw would perform better with a Dolmar bar!

She's a head turner no doubt!

Very nice. That tricked out saw just needs a bar to match. A sugihara or total would look real good on her.
