Will I increase the performance of my saw if I enlarge the factory exhaust hole? I was thinking of doing it with a die grinder. Will my saw burn out? How big should I go? Has anyone done this before? Is too much too much ? I already have a West coast saw bark box on it Cheers

I was thinking about STICK WELDING a west coast saw exhaust port on a MS 461 muffler. Will the exhaust handle the heat from the welding? What do I need to use as equipment? Has anyone done this before ? Cheers!

Hey all, I was "fortunate" to find a Stihl 192TC at a garage sale for $20 recently. Catch was the carb was bad, but the fellow selling it threw in an additional carb (C1Q-S135) and a few other misc parts from another 192TC he had gutted for free. I figured "why not?" For $20 seemed like it...

** LISTEN TO ATTACHED VIDEO** I just installed a West coast Saw Bark box on my Stihl MS 400 m tronic and I am having doubts on if it is harming the saw or not. I followed the proper carb reset on the manufactures website after install and I use Stihl Moto mix. It cracks and pops a lot. Is this...

I recently purchased a bark box from West Coast saw and I am wondering what do I need to do after installing it (the first start up) in order to not cause any damage to the saw? Do I need to reset it after installing the bark box? Here are the 2 procedures I found online for M Tronic saws...

Here's pics of an 066 for sale on craigslist. It's 250 miles away but he only wants 400 bucks for it. I think that's a pretty decent deal but what do you all think? Thanks much

Hello all I have a STIHL 066 that just got out of the shop and mechanic said it was “tuned” right. The saw has aftermarket exhaust on it. Throttle response is good and engine seems to be running good. while idling, the chain keeps turning and sometimes turns at high speed. Any idea on what...

So during COVID found a guy in a farm town selling a MS440 for $200, it was run hard and put away wet, but it ran, so I bought it. Then I got the great idea to "fix" what wasn't broken. Here is my advice to anyone who runs into any similar issues that I had along with a MASSIVE thank you to the...
