Wildthing Races at GTG's.....

[Mastermind]

I'm still playing with one as well Ed. I haven't got the skills to build a pipe, but have found more power in the little saw.

I added a set of auxiliary transfer ports to the jug, (you can see the epoxy behind the intake partition). I set the timing on the auxiliaries a few degrees later than the mains, it really woke the thing up!. To handle the extra air and fuel needs I stuck a tilly carb from an XL12 on it.

I've ordered the 141 husky rim drive and been sent the wrong one twice now. I think I may finally have the right one on the way. When I get a 7 pin drive on it I'll post a video.

Is the video before or after the oops?

Fantastic Job on the WT Ed!!! Like others have stated, thats all most unbelievable. Just out of curiosity, What kind of rpm is that turning? Wild Things, obviously don't have a rev limiting coil in them. LOL

Gregg,

Ed I think you win the WT trophy.

Ed, as a matter of fact I just finally picked up a 2375 last friday and was going to go at it soon in the near future.

That said after I seen this, I might just quit while I'm behind.

That thing rocks with that pipe! I could build one no problem if I just had any idea what size to make it...

I never had any ambitions to learn before.

I'm still happy with the way the 2500 that I did ran, I mean I wasnt last and I think the time keepers were bought off anyway.

Thing is the 2500 still starts, runs and idles really well and will make a good limbing saw to use.

WOW.... That truly is a wild thing. What kind of wood are you cuttin in the video, Sounds like it's turning 15,000 rpm's.

 

[Andyshine77]

Sounds like it's turning 15,000 rpm's.

It does!!

 

[Arrowhead]

now, port the crap out of that bi*h

It's ported...

And is that semi chisel safety chain being used on that thing?

Looks awesome Randy!! Yep, it took them 3 times to get me the right one also. LOL

Gregg,

Thanks Gregg, Its turning 14400 and holding 12000 in the wood.

Ed I think you win the WT trophy.

Thanks Andy!

wow.

 

[Andyshine77]

Thanks Andy!

Anytime ED.

So who's saw is going to blowup first? lol. Honestly it says a lot about what these little saws can take, 14,400 is way up there for most any saw.

I'm wondering hold long the unplated bore will last, or if the plating will start peeling off the piston first????

 

[AUSSIE1]

Awesome Ed...

From what I've seen the bore isn't all that much of an issue, but the rings seem to wear faster. Many of the old Poulans like the 3400/3700 had unplated bores and they were/are almost indestructible saws, many of them are still running today.

I had it up to 15200, but it was too lean. Yea, I was a little nervous... lol. Honestly, for being a pos saw, the crank and bearings are pretty large and beefy. The rod is not too bad either. I gained a new respect for them. I think it's the purple that did them in.

That's good to hear. The one I've been playing with was nearly new when I got it, (the wrap handle was broken). It starts great and even still idles well, I need to get a tach to see what it's turning. Curiosity is killing me here. lol

But that's what my granddaughter likes about em. :biggrinbounce2:

The purple and the vibes. The bottom end does seem to be pretty stout, it's still a pos saw, but not really all that bad for what they are.

The big carb should help a lot, the new transfer shouldn't give you any more out of the cut rpm's, but they should stay up in the wood better. I'd say 13,500 to 14,000 rpm. The one I ported with a stock carb will turn 13,200 max 13,000 safe.

There Andy, I fixed it for you! All 3700's had a chrome bore.

Otherwise you were and are completly correct.

 

[Andyshine77]

Thanks Mark! your a Poulan god lol.
