Wisconsin Saw Builder

[afivecents]

I have an 026 that I would like to get a little more power out of. I have read the postings regarding the muffler mods. I will be doing those, but I would like to go ahead with internal mods as well. The reason for my asking, is that would like to keep the weight down and get a saw that cuts better. Who would be someone to contact in Wisconsin to do the work? Thank you.

Scott Kunz aka treemonkey knows a thing or two about porting saws. I think googling Kunz woodworking will get you started.

Thank you. It's always nice to have a saw that has a little more power. I will do some searching tomorrow.

A ported 50cc saw like an 026 is a great thing to have in your lineup. Light weight but enough power that you don't need to find a bigger saw as soon as the wood gets over 10".

Where are you in WI?

Nekoosa. Just a short drive from the shimmering shores of Lake Petenwell!

Looks like you're about an hour and a half from Scott's place. Same as me, but the opposite direction. He's in the other saw forum pretty often. Here's a screen shot of his signature line which includes his number. A phone call is pretty much the only way to get a hold of the guy.

Thank you. I have never modified a two stroke before, so I would rather let those that know do the work. It seems a bit ironic that I am unsure of what to do for mods, but I just got done rebuilding a Caterpillar diesel in my Peterbilt!

I called Scott today and he said he is about three months behind. That's exactly what I am looking for! Lots of folks waiting to get work done by him tells me he is very reputable. Thank you again for the help.

Scott is a stand-up dude, knows a lot about a lot of stuff. Absolutely the best place for you to send that saw.

Yup, Nekoosa! I live out in the country, not right downtown in the inner city
