Why west coast only?

 

[TreeSurfer]

is he affordable? i dont wanna spend anymore then $300 all together. i know the price though will pay for itself on the next removal.

shipping to hawaii would cost almost as much as the port job itslef if i shipped to east coast haha.

 

[tlandrum]

i think the porting will be 250 plus shipping, its the going rate

Yep, and round trip shipping for the powerhead to go from Hawaii to the mainland and back is going to run around $130.

hmmmm for 400. might not be worth it then.

That or a 365. It's the direction I'd be headed if I wanted to run a 24".

Have one of us sponsors pick you up a new saw, port it, and only have to pay shipping one way. Sell your 359 to help pay for it.

 

[sachsmo]

No doubt, sell it and get a 390.

Another option would be to muffler mod your 359 and maybe get rid of the base gasket(make sure to check your squish) then 24" 3/8 with skip or 24" with .325 with either skip or full.A stock 359 pulls a 20" 3/8 with full comp well.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA........ I hope you meant a 390 that is all one shade of orange!!:big_smile:

probably his best bet and the most cost effective. great idea brad!

Another option.Muffler mod and square file.Learn to square file or maybe ATOP.Seems like money is an issue,if not bigger saw.You can always square everything up and make sure the bottom ring is within .001 of the top of the lower transfee:confused2::confused2::confused2:r

ill trade a 359 and a 394 that needs a new crank case for a ported 390

i know i know fat chance that would happen. but it was worth a shot. hahaha

 

[tlandrum]

man when you dream big ,you dream big.

The 359 should be able to pull a 24" bar with full skip chain. No it won't be blistering fast. May I ask why you need the extra 3-4 inch's of bar. A 20" bar will cut 95% of what a 24" bar will.

i need a light weight saw that will cut larger wood when im up in the tree.
