Ported 70cc work saws

[MCW]

Who makes the hottest 7900's doing the rounds now? I know EC made some really quick ones but honestly haven't seen too many build threads on this model of late.

That is smoking fast for a saw that is able to run a long bar as well as that saw will.

Durand did good on that beast.

Even a blind Hog finds an Acorn every once in awhile .

That saw has nothing special done to it...just came out well. Jeremys chain probably helps it more than my grinding.

I took my 441cxb up a tree today, 24" with low depth gauges, full bar cuts in hard gum and it did it really well

I love the fat little bastard, it'll get a 28" light soon, I reckon it'll be just fine

What the heck does cxb stand for?

x=extra
b=bannannas

441cxb = a Masterminded saw, with extra bannannas

Mustang knew that!! Lol! He just hadnt had his coffee yet! I bet a ride in that 5.0 with the accelerator buried would wake him up!!! Lol! Mustang my nephew just bought an all blacked out new 800hp Shelby Cobra!! Talk about ported!!!

Here I'm on the Stihl website looking for xb, foolish of me.

Also, my Stang is just a 4.6, wish it were a 5.0, those motors are very strong. The SC really wakes it up, but the 5.0 with the same SC is about 200 HP more!

My F150 fx2 is 5.0 with the manual shift on the console option. Pretty peppy for a cruiser

The guy next door (who bought my 441) has an F-150 w/the 5.4, that truck will tow a lot, but it eats the gas.

4.6, 5.0 (new one only) 5.4, and 5.8 are all in the same engine family. They have cross bolted mains to keep the crank in place like the old Ford 406 & 427 motors. That was one of the things that made them more durable than their competitors back in the day. When Ford took on Ferrari with the GT-40 back in 1966 with the 427 Ford Engines (they originally had 289s), Ford finished 1,2,& 3 in the 24 hrs of Lemans, and amazing accomplishment.

I wish someone would post a video of that 372!!! Lol

 

[cgraham1]

I've got a 7900 that should be here today!!! I hear it's pretty angry!

Maybe tomorrow. I'm pooped out. Should had been in bed hours ago but had "Training" at work.

Do you have to pay extra for the carb mods for that saw, or is it all included w/the standard fee? Almost 80cc done up right, yea, it should be very strong. Should have had Randy ship it to the GTG so we could telly you how much we like it!!!!

 

[cgraham1]

Randy couldn't get the modded carb dialed in, so he shipped the saw to Rich (Poleman) in SD and he tweaked the carb and got it running right!

The carb was separate from the port work, but Rich was nice enough to give me the carb and mod it for me at no charge!!!

About time! We were starting to get complaints all the way over here in Ireland!


Sweep the leg!

 

[woodhaven]

Why isn't the ms460 mentioned? Seems like a good candidate. It is the same weight As a 441, but more cc's and power??

 

[MustangMike]

My ported 046 (basically the same saw) is a beast.

 

[treesmith]

Using a stock 46 this week, nice saw
