If that container ship dropped 395xp, it wouldn't have drifted into the bridge.

I mentioned before that I had a 2188 run quieter on 93. 87 & 89 wouldn't do it. Probably gained a smidge of torque. It's the only saw I've noticed the issue with, but I often don't pay attention if it's not my saw, though I still try to get premium for company saws. Mine always get premium.

I hear you can charge $1200 on eBay with a 20" cannon bar if you leave it stock and call it a Piltz Hot Saw. I mounted the 42" on it once, but never tried running it. 1DL too long of chain.

The first job I used my 2188 (390) on was a big oak. The other guy bought or rented a 660. Stock, they seemed to cut around the same speed, but it seemed like I could cut twice the wood before refilling. Some of that may have been my chain maintenance skills at the time, which weren't nearly as...

I'm guessing the Hyway won't rev up well. Low exhaust, can't remember if the intake was high or not, and I think the transfers were high and small. Heavy piston too.

I saw a video of a guy who could suck a popcorn kernel up his nose and blow it out is eye.

Without the bottles

Cylinder looks fine. The 590/620 have a common problem with the main nozzle check valve in the carb. They used a thin piece of carb diaphragm material instead of stiff fiberglass or whatever is used in most all other carbs. They get a slight air leak sometimes and go lean at idle and surge some...

Some castor oil and long hot cuts would help take care if the decomp trough. It would be interesting to see if JB Weld would hold up in it, but that's pushing the limit big time. That could end up being a slow release of polishing compound. 110 stock exhaust? Not bad really.

Have you been in a 193 or 194 yet? Pics? What do they need porting wise?

Might have better luck on Craigslist. I had a guy contact me from way out of state wanting a nice 028 really bad because his old 028 was tired.

But, variables and stuff. Are you saying you have fun with chainsaws?
