Ok my first post. Ive lurked for a while and read a bit about porting and big bores ext ext. I have been barrowing an ollllddddd 044 of my bro inlaws for a while(im afraid if it gives up while im using it im on the hook for repairs even though he says not to worry bout it). Ive used that saw quite a bit soley to put up firewood.
It is time for me to buy a new saw(new to me) I have been looking at alot of 034- 066 saws on cl. all in seller described good condition. Im liking the idea of a 034 036 or 038 . the saws i have been looking at all are used and I wont buy a used saw unless i get it for a price where i fel im still ahead doing a p/c kit.
My question is is there any of the known good porters that will sell a pre ported piston and cylinder set? If im going to do a rebuild why not upgrade at the same time?Im perfectly capeable of installing a p/c kit done it to alot of dirtbikes and fourwheelers and im diesel mechanic by trade.(chainsaws are like doing an inframe from the top... kinda lol)
I hope this is clear search function did not help me much thanks for the advice guys
