    Fantastic pics everyone. Jon and I finally took down a couple of trees from within the tree. One was a black oak that was leaning across two fences and a driveway. We were able to block it down in the driveway on gravel, so no rigging was needed. The second was a white oak that was between the...

    I agree, and normally would never leave this stem to rot. There's no way to get anything in there to winch it up the hill. The biggest thing in my mind is that I can drive up to all the wood I need in other places. In the time it would take to collect this one stem, I could have many loads...

    Cory, If the cutters ain't all the same length it will pull to one side. Get a caliber and check them carefully. Most guys file one side better than the other, or get tired after doing one side of a long chain, then one side gets a little shorter, and it pulls to the long side.

    If anyone wants any info I have, all they have to do is ask......I have no "trade secrets" or any such bullshit. I like seeing a guy mod his own saw......as a matter of fact, I do machine work for a lot of guys so they can take that jug and port it themselves.

    Pressure differences cause a scavenging (sucking) effect and draw on the ports. If the port is too wide, those effects can be lost.

    The saws we build are always louder. Adding compression makes the engine louder, even if the muffler is left stock. I don't add extra outlets unless testing have proven that the engine responses the the added exhaust area. Normally, we open the stock outlet, and make custom deflectors in the...

    Ex: 94° means that the exhaust port opens at 94 degrees of crankshaft rotation from top dead center or TDC. I don't do anything to the piston because I don't want to do anything that could cause the piston to fail over time. I also don't widen the ports much, I just open them to the edge of...

    When lowering the jug, you will gain intake (and strato) timing, that is great on some, not so great on others. Then on many engines (like the MS660) not raising the exhaust back up is what you want. In the case of the 660, less exhaust is a fine thing. The transfer timing is where the big gains...

    As Jay mentioned, these units are mass produced. They are built in "the middle of the road" so to speak......what I do is tweak what the designers built, looking for the gains that they left on the table. The saws I build are built for work......and will work all day without issues. They do...
