Learning about saws

[aarolar]

What is the best way to go about learning how 2t motors work especially pertaining to saws? I know the basics I want to learn about the finer aspects like how port timing effects things and a good understanding of strat saws basically a precursor to porting. Looking for good books or internet reading.

Experience is the best teacher. Get a bunch of $20 Poulan Wild Things and a Dremel and see what works.

I still feel I need some basic knowledge first.

Get a copy of "Two-Stroke Engine Repair & Maintenance" by Paul Dempsey. I think you'll get a bit deeper insight there.
About $20 @ Amazon. Good info on troubleshooting.

This is more what I'm talking about I'm not really saying I want to start porting but it's just funny to me that I understand 4 strokes better than I do 2 strokes.

Sounds like you will be picking up on the 2 strokes fast.

I like to think so but I just need some quality reading material.

Cummins or duramax?

Get some saws that don't run... Take them apart and fix them. Ask for help on this forum if you need it. Repeat a bunch of times. It will cost you a lot of money...

I'm keeping my eyes open but they seem hard to come by around here for cheap people seem to think a broke saw is still worth 100-125$ for some reason.
