There is a ramp and eccentric bolt that control flow. If these are modified, it can pump more oil. Don't mess with them if you don't understand how they work.

I forgot to mention, I am running a 28" bar on my ported ms390. It's a gas hog, but it pulls it in hardwood. I would not go any longer than that. My oiler is modded to oil that long of a bar. The ms390 is really at home with a 20" bar in stock form, and maybe a 24" when muffler modded. Mine...

That's a great idea. I think I'd rather use a thin oil to prevent rust in the chain. Would oil hold chips in the stone? I have had freshly run chains get wet and rust, so water is a soft "no" in my book. Maybe an oil/water mix? I wonder if the mister would work if used with a light oil or...

Only if it's done wrong.

A woods port should raise rpm, otherwise it's not doing much. Raised rpm in the cut means it is making more power. My 350 turns 12,000+ in the wood (18" bar and .325 chain) with .025" depth gauges. I file them down to ~.035" to put a load on the saw and make better use of the power. Zeek...

The epa has a hand in it, along with sales, lawyers, production costs, and a host of other things. If they made them all as good as they could be, you'd only have a few saw models to choose from, because the rest would be obsolete. I have a ported 33cc saw that makes as much power as a stock...

It sounds to me like you are doing something wrong. I have had the same bar on my saw for 14 years and the paint is still on it. That's 14 years of hard use, both at home and at work. No idea how many cord I have cut with it. I have cut tons of locust. You shouldn't have to push on any saw...

Yep. Along with a 4 or 6 way wedge. You'll never look back. I can split a face cord every 15 minutes by myself with my 4 way.

Hey sandhill, what kind of orange wagon trailer is that? I need one.

I used 30/60/10 for years. The chains cut ok, but not as well as filed. I was grinding chains tonight and decided to try 30/50/10 to replicate the hook angle of new chain. It looks to be very close, but not quite as extreme as new hook, and the wheel did barely touch the raker on new chain...

Right. I like to run a sized wire through every passage too. That way you know it's clean

What carb was this on? Oem or cheap aftermarket?

Cheap ebay carbs are garbage. If you are going to buy one, get the real deal. Actually clean the carb, because most people don't. I have a ported 350 and have ported several more. The stock carb is great and can provide plenty of fuel. Mine will do 13k in the cut, and has plenty of fuel. I...

Finally got my 350 together. 4 tanks through it now. We cut some elm tonight and got a quick video of it.

Take your pick. The 346 should be fun. I spent 3 days porting my husqvarna 350. A lot of that time was waiting for epoxy to dry. I used it to reshape several areas. I had a pile of aluminum when I got done. I didn't weigh it, but it was a substantial pile. The saw holds 12-13k with the...

A new clean saw is way easier to work on. Do it before it ever gets dirty. Even one cut will put crud in places you wouldn't expect. Washing an entire saw piece by piece, drying, and then working on it is a pain to be avoided if possible. I would double the price of porting a dirty saw if...

Woods porting is making the saw run better by modifying the port size and timing. Really, you have woods porting and race porting. Woods porting is more modest and less risky than race porting. It usually involves making the ports wider, changing port timing, opening up restrictions in the...

I like it. Keeping chains in a compact container is great.

It depends on the wound. Sometimes you have seconds to slow/stop the bleeding. A neck wound can render you unconscious in seconds, so if it takes you 10 seconds to get down, it's already too late. A large artery can dump blood incredibly fast, reducing blood pressure to the point where you...
