So where are people at when it comes to modding saw, either just muffler or port work?

Anyone willing to belly up to the bar and say why?

 

[Erick]

I just can't seem to run a stock saw anymore, has to be ported.

 

[Paul001]

Either way I consider it good for business

 

[litefoot]

I have enough trouble just keeping / finding parts and re-building stock saws. Don't have time for porting. Stock saws are fine. But if you wanna port...enjoy.

 

[rmihalek]

I'm all for it. The saws run cooler, make more power, have better throttle response and sound better. Plus, you get to learn about how the saws are put together, where the weak links are and how to service them in the field if needed.

The only minus I guess is that it'll burn more fuel and there is that small chance of screwing things up and having to buy a new jug.

Make mine ported! It's a hobby more than a making a living for me, might as well have some fun.

Just modding the muffler and resetting the carb gains you about 25% more power so why not??

 

[Urbicide]

Why? It makes me happy.

I voted pro-mod... I have "Tim Allen" syndrome. :greenchainsaw:

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

I'd like to get more into modding saws but I don't have the time working 6 or 7days a week. As long as it has a sharp chain, and starts when I want it to I'm happy.

I will say one thing though. I did run a stock saw the other day and it sure was nice and quiet.

 

[showrguy]

my only modded/ported saw so far is a ms360.... did it myself/ourself with lots of help and encouragement from many here and elsewhere (timberwolf and brad snelling were extremely helpful, thanks guys)
have not timed it yet, but i can say for sure it'll outcut my stock 460, that ones getting operated on next...
oh, and the saw is lighter now too !!!!!!! just thought of that...lol

Anti-mod. Guys that modify saws are egotistical jerks.

I was doing the muffler mods on mine for awhile, I have found that I'm not in a big hurry and I like a quieter saw now......

JJ,

I plead guilty to liking my saws modded. I guess the jerk part applies too. Ya got me there. I'll get back to you as soon as I can figure out that egotistical part.

Cheers,

Joat

What's a stock saw?

That pile of parts laying in the middle of your work bench

I think he just called me an eagle’s testicle. :dunno:

 

[mattinky]

My saws are all stock, mainly because I like them to be quiet, but I do think I'm going to open the muffler up on my 61 as it seems to be really strangled and I think a mod might wake it up a bit
