What,bell bottoms? They didn't come into fashion until the 70's .However in the late 60's I had the real McCoy . US navy issued too . Now the duck azz haircut,I quit combing my hair about that time but the damned stuff fell out anyways ,that kinda sucked .So here it is ,hair falling off the top...

:lol: Yesere buddy ,sure was .Leather jacket, ducktail hair cut,the whole nine yards .:lol:

These comments are nothing new because I recall having the exact conversaions in the mid 60's and nobody could agee on what was best even that long ago .It was hot rod engines in those days though .

Bell ,Jennings and Mac Dizzey pretty much agree with a smooth surface but not a mirror finish .Some though that make some pretty hot running saws polish the dickens out of them so who's right is anyones guess .

Oh I forgot to mention ,on the 038 mag which I've been into 4 times .The first go around I spent hours polishing and it was like a mirror ,ran okay .The next three times it was with the craytex but of course with some more port work included .Of course it runs better but as such with no...

I think they call it the skin effect . Since you mentioned the golf ball ,the Stihl 038 AV had a dimpled intake .It also had an offset combustion chamber and a roundish hemi domed piston .Evidently they must have changed their minds because the mags had smooth intake ,flat top piston and a...

I shine em both up but not to the extent I once did .It seems you can get a certain effect when the gas/air mixture goes over an extremely polished surface that actually hinders the desired effect .From what I've read it appears the fuel gets liquidized instead of staying in suspension within...

TW isn't to only one that shines them like a mirror .;)

There no reason you couldn't soup up a blower ..Probabley the first thing to do would be to put more carb on them as they are usually pretty small .I have an idea though it wouldn't be hard to wring one out because air moving equipment really takes the power .Moving air is a constant load where...

I really liked that old war horse .

The 166 hotty had the largest intake and carb of any saw I've ever seen .It would have seemed it came off a small motorcycle rather than a saw engine .

Well it definately snagged something by the looks of things .Also that ex port could have stood a little rework ,kinda rough . No big deal but just to point out it doesn't take much obstruction to put a damper in things . That one wasn't so bad though because I've worked on them where the...

:lol: I have to laugh at the mention of a chainsaw file port job .Old Gyp actually did that and the 044 didn't run too bad .During the saws evolution though he hung it two or three times .Knocked the thing apart,sanded down the piston and stuck it back together . I don't recommend that method...

If you're going to get serious about this stuff first read,study ,read study .Then you're going to need more than just a file and some sandpaper . The basics are a degree wheel,a small die grinder like a Dremel .You'll need an assortment of small cutters,polishing fobs and compound. Craytex...

I didn't watch the vid but I'm sure it gives the basics .Go to Macdizzey and take a peek . Myself or anyone else can't pull numbers out of the blue and expect that anybody would have success based soley on that .You have to account for cylinder size,expected RPM range etc .plus the fact no two...

No I'm saying a cookie cutter makes a pizz poor worker .To make a cookie cutter in order to get the RPM's real high you take the exhaust port real high which kills the torque . R's don't do you much good unless you have the grunt to go along with it .The one thing noone wants is a wimpy saw you...

What do you want it to do ,be a good worker or a cookie cutter ?

Well salmon eggs make pretty good bait for fish ,never thought about eating them myself .

That praticular saw is the most powerfull puller of an 084 I've ever seen .Mr Combs done good on that one .

I'll bet if you did a little work on that steel muffler it wouldn't glow like Rudolphs nose .
