Building the ultimate sleeper saw.... 46cc Craftsman into a ported 72cc

[Tractorsaw1]

Couple of questions for the guru's

1. What size are the jug bolts? When I put an 066 top end on an 064 i moved them in the case when opening them up, maybe they are all ready 6mm?

2. If one is to hunt up a carb for this setup, can anyone enlighten me on what saws they are on or some where to start looking for one.

Picking up a 2700 poulan afterwork tonight

Any bets on how long the bottom end will last?

I would bet the oil filler cap off a stihl ms170 that this saw wouldn't last for 50 cords of wood.

My fil has ms170 I bet it don't cut 50 cord in stock form & i raise ya oil cap to a new meteor 066 piston.

Yep ............ Hes all in ! :hmm3grin2orange:

That bottom end will be just fine !

I have seen one of those bottom ends turn 15,600 with a 60cc non windowed piston. That saw is still 4stroking and tuned for cutting at 14,700. Don't let your mouth write a check your azz won't be able to cash. Jus saying.............:msp_thumbup::msp_thumbup:

I know nothing about those poulans. I was just thinking that with that much extra power, it might not last. feel free to flame me, I am new to saw mods, and am still learning.

We aren't bashing...lol. Just loving the stoutly engineered green machines of late. You weren't rude and I didn't mean to bash you.

There were amazing saws that get no love from newbies... We're defensive...

I like looking for the last years of them. They are often confused with the newer clam shell saws and can be had for cheap. They are stout machines.

No worries lol. I was just admitting I was wrong. I figured these poulans were after he quality nose dive, and didnt think they would stand up to it. I have survived weldingweb, and those guys go ot of heir way to flame people

You'll be OK. LOL

I honestly think the saw will make it for a hunge cords and then some. Time will tell and it has to just flat out jam with a short bar.
