Wood's Tougher Than Woodpecker Lips...
Let'er roll...Good thoughts. Couldnt have said it better.
Maybe I should poll to see if I should starts a poll for closure.

In the limited time I've been here there have been similar instances that have esculated out of control and threads were locked. Because of that behavior they didnt live long but it was never against the rules to create a thread like this AFAIK... it was definetly frowned upon though. AND in this case, who ends up looking like the fool? I have my own opinion but its irrelevant.Here's another thought I had.........
Since it now seems to be okay(based off of this thread still being intact) to post failed modified saws by former Sponsors, doesn't that in turn "green light" the opportunity for other disgruntled folks to air their grievances, real or imagined on the open forums?
Seems like kind of a "Pandora's Box" to me, but I'm not clear what is considered protocol, since the abolishment of Member Sponsors.

Gotta like that one...If your stealing parts from other ppls saws, I'd hope someone takes ur oil drain plug and bypass ur oil sensor
be lucky,,if all that happens is they get caught................................................................To get caught is gotta be total humiliation.
I think airing grievances is fine(If normal paths to resolve have been attempted) as long as it's kept civil.Here's another thought I had.........

Don't forget about all the time put in for R&D that the builder did.warranty issues aside, I think 'the customer' got one _ _ _ _ of a good deal!!!!
$700 new for the powerhead, and taken apart and modified - out the door for a lousy $200.00 additonal! if the modifier is a specialist on this saw then its only fair to assume he dosen't send out his work with junk and crud still in the transfer ports... the scratches came from somewhere, but the stains on the outside of the cyl base say more than 4 hrs to me. but of course, i suppose we have to go with the 4 hrs.
take the saw apart, pop the cyl... set up and machine the cyl base... clean out the majority of casting flash in 1) bottom transfers b) inake port c) exhaust port d) cut cyl transfer + cut the base and set the squish... clean it all up and then reassemble it... run it and tune it... for a lousy $200.00!!! are you kidding me? I read this thread as there just ain't a lot of $$ in saw porting... who knows what happened once the customer got ahold of it... ? I bet the mfgr of this saw does not see very many warranty calls on main bearings... on a new saw? neglect, or abuse maybe but not OE assembly ~ not on main bearings!!
now... before anyone chooses to bash me or my post... just know... I am very exp'd in modifying and porting air metering devices for internal combustion engines... computer controlled and non. 2-stoke some, 4-cycle a zillion and then some. I have done at least, several thousand! in fact, I hold a US Patent for specialized designs in this field to improve bottom end torque, etc.. ie, specialized porting. when it comes to sanding, filing and scraping [facetious for porting] aluminum, I have been there and done that!! I agree the quality of work is rough by porter's standards, but for $40.00 or $50.00 worth of putting a flute to it and knowing where to put it... its more than a good value! the
Customer got a bargain!!!
ps: I am still curious as to why the piston shows exhaust trax opposite of the arrow on crown. please consider a PM to me if u don't want to post it here...
You see, here is where I cant stomache whats being writtenI think airing grievances is fine(If normal paths to resolve have been attempted) as long as it's kept civil.
The matter you are talking about I also disagree with what happened and how it was handled.You see, here is where I cant stomache whats being written
I KNOW of at least one guy who was keeping everything civil (on ALL SITES), so civil that this guy didnt even post something, and still got banned.
AS ran on what they thought was a tipoff VIA a "heads up" from a shamefull individual
Complaints were registered and answers were given, yet posts on several sites contradicted just about everything that was being written by the AS moderators
Darins advice: just deal with it
So - you spout your spinnable diatribe and we just have to deal with it.
Collateral damage, I guess.
Piles of steamy dung is what it really is.
Dont think for one second that dudes dont know the truth
You think I am wrong ?
Prove me wrong !!
Point me to the post(s) that got me banned on Christmas Eve
Can't we all just get along.
Kill em with kindness
