Simonized saws.

Oh hell not the gubermint.

As long as we wear our tin foil hats they should not be able read our minds so we may be okay.

IndianSprings has a 460 I just built for him. He timed the saw before and after and figures about a 40% increase in power.

You are right there! Less is more a lot of the time. The fastest 385 I ever built I had forgot to open up the muffler and port match it to the exhaust port! Go figure. Really stepping up and participating is worth a lot to me I wish I could of made the first 372 build, but I just plain old didn't have the time or the saw. We should do some sorta build once a month or season at least. I hope Will makes the build he ports a mean saw and has done some pop ups for me in the past. The 460 with a 064 piston makes a powerhouse of a saw if done right.

Didn't you have a ported 390 top end on a 372 chassis? Ya shoulda sent that in to the GTG for grins. Ya grenade that thing yet? Where is it now?

 

[CanadianCarGuy]

Yes I had a 390 cylinder on a 372, but I straight gassed the damn thing. It is still ok but I have taken it apart with the intention of sending the crankshaft to get a 390 rod put on and stroked 1mm to match the 390 stroke. It never got done. I got a lot of projects sittin here that still haven't gotten done.

Parris if you would rather I can send you a meteor 460 piston or you can order one from baileys and keep tabs of expenses and I will reimburse you no problem or run the stock one but from what I remember seeing you're going to be limited on port width with the stock piston. the 460 Meteor piston kit will have a wider skirt than the OEM piston and it will be less work than the 064/640,,, I have everything to do the 064 piston work anyway and I've got a few Ideas I want to try

Well, the one that's coming should show up, so I'll just wait, unless your in a panic to get your saw back.

Thanks, Daniel. I've watched all your vids, looks like you do pretty well yourself.

 

[Simonizer]

Simon, did you raise the intake skirt on it? Just curious to know some of your "Top Secret Super Mods"

I might start working one of my new 460s here today. R We doing a 460 build?

Phone me if you want some info.

Both seem really fast but the 390 is unreal!

 

[CanadianCarGuy]

Both saws have nice crisp throttle response. Have to admit nice work Simon. Look forward to see our saws go at it at the cut off.

Thanks for the link Dave, Simon nice work !

Simonized 372, 390

Both these saws were on their first tanks so I was not pushing them to their limits.
I have put them through a couple weeks of work now, now they can be "tweaked" for the long run a bit more.
I also know many great saw builders, I have no regrets for using any of them, but again, I will say that Simon's saws do pull a much broader power range than the others without question.
My other saws need to be at their peak rev range to even think about keeping up the these two saws, and even then they don't.
For any faller that has been on the island for any length of time, they know of Simon, he is not new here and I've seen him here and there as he was learning his craft, over a long time period.
He is confident in what he does and for good reason, the saws do take what we throw at them, and we do throw it at them, last like they should, and pull like hell.
So if you are still not sure about his product, I just don't understand.
He builds saws for a group of people that if not happy with the product, well, would probably take it into their own hands and Simon wouldn't be building saws!
But as I will only get my saws tweaked by Simon, so do many other a faller here on Vancouver Island.
Simon does build a great falling saw.

The saw with grey dogs is the 372, it was the saw cutting fast!
The 390 I was being gentle on it.

My Simonized 372 is getting somemore time on it,,, it's really coming around,,,, its about all Ive been using lately,,, dropped a few big oaks on a hazard tree job yesterday,,,,, I really like it alot... wearing a 32" bar with full chisel Semi Skip it is right there with Island fallers 372 I have never had a saw that pulls that hard, the torque is incredible,,, Most people that have seen it and run it dont beleive it is a 70CC saw,,, plus its still wearing the 365 special logo,,, LOLOL!!!! Its special all right!!!!!!

Nice to hear!! Some day, I'd like to run one of your saws Simon. But I do have fun building my own.

Thanks! I did get the piston finally like we talked in PM, I'll get cracking on it soon, hope to get the measurements this weekend, and maybe machine the piston and mock it up and check some timing numbers.

Yes, should be fun. Competition breeds perfection, always has. Hope you are having a good weekend, cheers.

Hey Will, why don't you come up this Sunday for the Annual loggersports event in Campbell River. It's a great time with some of the best in the world from all over, Australia, USA, everywhere. Give me a call if you can swing it, weather is supposed to be perfect, bring a camera. I'll supply the beer and steaks.

Sorry Simon, I can't, we're leaving on Sunday to go camping up in Parksville. By the time I get up there and setup the trailer in Parksville it'll be late afternoon.

Thanks allot for the offer though! I appreciate it.
