I would like for it to continue (thread) obviously. It's my saw and I have been waiting on it.

And it will continue......
The parts should be here Friday to finish it up. We will then post a video of it in action.
About the carbs for these saws.......I've tried several different carbs on the 372. Many guys may be surprised to know that my favorite carb on these is the X-torq carb. By using the XP intake and clocking it to keep the XT carb level it works well. You need the XP filter elbow, and must gut the divider.....
These are just the aluminum chips that landed on the bench.......there was a bunch in the floor.
If anyone is interested I'd be happy to share......
You port 372's?

I'm ok.......just nervous from all the grinding.
Some nerve, a guy who just went on 3 vacations talking about all this work at home....
I think I may regret that statement.....

Just out of curiosity, how long does it take to do a complete porting? Does it vary greatly between models/brands?
I'm getting old Tom.......I better go on all the vacations I can before my hip breaks or something.
Your hip will only break if you do something silly. Just don't do anything silly LOL.
I may have a 372 to send you if my FIL ever gives it back.

5 - 7 hours is normal. There are a few saws that I can do in 4.

Copy that........nothing too silly.
That reminds me of a tale.
Grandpa was 82 years old.......he married a 20 year old woman. I asked him if it was dangerous for him to have sex with such a young woman. He looked me straight in the eye and said "son, if she lives she lives, if she don't she don't." :msp_w00t:
Send one anytime Tom......remember trades are welcome.

It's nice to see someone finally ask that question. It's definitely not a 2 hour and done deal it takes me a day 8-10 hours (I haven't done the volume you have). Plus I like to take a little extra time to take notes. Polishing is where I lose time at because I'm anal.

I have a pretty good collection of greasy work pants and dirty dishes. Was that along the lines of trading you were thinking? If not, I have lots of pennies I can ship you.
Hell it took me an hour and a half to poke a hole in a muffler and make sure it didn't have any metal flakes left inside. Can't imagine trying to go through the whole porting process in my shoes LOL
Definitely respect the guys that can get it done and get it done right!
It isn't an AS thread until you've got a monkey, pie and the word anal!!:hmm3grin2orange:

Thanks Terry, I suppose port matching the muffler is advised. I think I will try it on my 460 I ported for the build off at your place a couple of years back,,, cant hurt, it ran pretty good actually finishing 3rd and stuff,,,
