She's all done and running like a dream. It fired right up, idled perfectly, and has instant throttle response, just like a ported saw should. What's not to like? Unfortunately, it's too late to cut with it. I can't wait to get this thing in some wood!
Here are the final port timings:
Exhaust - 103°
Transfers - 114°
Intake - 79°
Compression - 180 PSI
This saw is a clone of a 550 in every way I see. The port timings on this saw are within 1° of what I put in that last 550 that ran so well. I'm also within 1° of where this saw would have been stock before any machining, with the exception of the intake being lower from dropping the jug. I'm very pleased with the compression. I'm up 35 PSI from where I started.
