Hybrid Build

[Derf]

Those are pretty fast cut times. I would think the ported 460 may have the advantage in larger wood.

You do any mods to the 372 yet? I advanced the timing on my 044 #1 (the non ported one) and it woke it up a bit more.

I agree, the 460 might get an edge over the 2171 in larger wood due to the displacement advantage. I think someone should suggest that to Dex in his thread to find out. He'll need a stihl and husky bar in the 24-28" range though, so not sure if he can make that comparison.

I haven't done any mods to it since the GTG, Mike. Just glad it's running smooth. My "other" 372xp has the 74cc XPW top end on it and it was ported by Randy. I labeled it 375XP and I use it more often when I reach for the 70+cc. It's a fun time and I like to feel the difference between it and the stock 71cc 372xp to appreciate all the money invested in the 375XP.

I actually keep going back and forth between selling the stock 372XP and keeping it. It's fine as is, it's a little lighter than the 375XP since it normally wears a 20" (vs a 24"), only has a half wrap, small bucking spikes, and no heated carb bits. I can loan it out when needed with little worry. I'm trying to keep my money invested in it to a minimum, so no mods (yet).

Taking my hybrid back to a OEM 440 cylinder that i ported to try for alil while

Mike my hybrid carries alil more rpm in cut than that I think but the torque seems about the same. Im gonna see how this 440 pans out on it with the numbers I put on it

 

[KG441c]

Man that 372 moans like she has torque!!

A muff mod & timing advance don't cost ya a dime!

maybe I am reading this wrong but it sounds like you are deliberately unporting a saw...........say it aint so

Re-read it.. He is going from a 460 top end to a ported 440 top end. Not de-porting a saw, just changing to a different ported top end.

wow ok cool I was worried that Keith might have gone plum off his rocker

Just comparing different jugs on the same frame.

I remember a guy had a really strong running 396 Chevelle, but he just had to have a 427, and when he put it in, it was slower!

 

[Definitive Dave]

Sometimes a fine runnin stock saw works. Last time I cut wood I didn't use a single ported saw out of 3.

this statement makes my heart sad.... I mean maybe if you didn't have a ported saw I could understand.....or if you didn't know anybody who had one..........or if you didn't know they existed....but to not run a ported saw....of your own free will??

 

[MustangMike]

Dave, I hear you, but my 044 # 1 is not ported and I love to run it. It is a 10 mm w/KS jug, dp muff cover, HD-2 filter and timing advance. Sure my ported 044 #2 is stronger, but with a 20" bar, 044 #1 is about all that you would want.

 

[Definitive Dave]

that is like choosing to eat waffles without butter and syrup when they are right there on the table all warm and melty, begging to serve you

or taking a trip down the autobahn in a rusty old pinto with beaverboard on the sides and one off color fender instead of firing up the Lamborghini

somebody check Mike for a concussion real quick, I am a little worried about him

 

[Definitive Dave]

Fixed that for ya Bro

is not ported but has all these great features that are commonly part of a port job like a dp muff cover, HD-2 filter and timing advance, I also need a concussion check

 

[MustangMike]

Hey, a lot of people say a KS jug is almost like a ported jug. All my longer bar saws are ported, but with a 20" bar, it is stout. As much as I like the ported 362 C, 044 #1 will out cut it, no problem. Good thing the 362 has better AV and is lighter! And you don't want to compete against 044 #1 with a stock 460, trust me!

 

[Definitive Dave]

haven't found the other 044 parts in the shipping boxes yet, colors look a lot better in person than in this crappy pic

For a split second I thought I was reading the Christmas donation thread and got excited. Then I realized where I was.

I have a ported MMWS 372. I often enjoy my dead stock 268. Some saws just work.
