Which ported 50cc saw

[Jacob J.]

You need a closed port jug to make a screamer out of that 500. I'd like to see how it turns out.

I does have that. And thanks to Ed, I have the exterior pieces on the way...

Oh, and I meant constructive influence (where's that puking emoticon?)

It's tuned to 13,600ish

I still have Young's 461 here. I smell a race brewing.

I'd love to see the 461 against your 460 buildoff saw I think the 461 would have it's hands full. Then again, that monster torque of the 461 is a force to be reckoned with.

Nmurph has that saw. I traded it to him for a 394xp to replace ptjeep's when the post office lost it. :bang:

It's a strong saw, and surprisingly, it's quieter than the 372 you build for me Brad.

I cut several very large pecans last weekend for my neighbor. I ran both for several hours. I let my 73YO neighbor run the 460 most of the afternoon, and all he could say was "that Stihl sure is a strong saw." It is a little stronger than the 372, but both handled a 24" bar with AUTHORITY.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Santa Clause had a massive heart attack and dropped dead a little over a year ago. He actually was the Santa Claus in the Christmas parade here.

Man I sure am sorry to hear that. You folks sure were lucky to have such a Santa in your midst. Do you think you could post up the video for ol' timey sake?

Advance the timing a few degrees and add a Walbro carb instead of the Zama and the saw will wake up even more. It's not as strong as the one's I build now.

BTW, I did not fell this tree. It was already on the ground when I showed up. It was also the smallest of the ones we took out. It was hollow to just below where I'm at in this pic, and was solid the rest of the way. The hollow had a tarrie mess that was the remnants of a honey bee hive that was abandoned summer before last. My lab thought it was a very tasty treat!!

Randy, what carb do you recommend for this swap?

Walbro from a 460. It has a Zama now and Wiggs tells me it would be much stronger with a Walbro.

Speaking of carbs which 359 carb do you swap out on a 346 i see about 5 of them HDA 198?

 

[sachsmo]

So...one could say it's not really worth porting...? JMO!

No!

Just saying the word "ported" is used too generically on this board.

Like everything there is good, better, and even bad "port" jobs.

Kind of like paint jobs,

"looky here" repainted my car, used the best paint made. Cuzin' Bubba laid it on real nice, too bad he didn't have a less nappy roller.

I have been running 199B.

I was talking to a friend today and i mentioned swapping the carbs on my 346 and he said he did some work on his MS362 and he said he removed the base gasket but didn't check the squish before or after he's just gonna run it:msp_w00t: and thinks it will be ok, what are the chances of it gernading on him??

Does that mean I can have my 394 back? :jester:

One of the things I miss most in Ireland is no Pecan Pie...

However, I did have an Abrakebabra Doner Kebab today served to me by a lovely Irish lass:

Highly likely. The one that I built had less than .04 squish stock.

I don't remember the numbers, but I do remember having to use .015 gasket paper to give it enough squish after I removed the stock gasket.
