Some run issues with carbs and what the fixes were. Problem, saw runs eradic and eventually dies. Also passes a crankcase pressure/vacuum test and is fine mechanically and has good spark. Leaving the fuel system suspect. Carburetor passes a standard fuel inlet pressure check. However, it...

With the snow melted and the temps warming it has me thinking already of fall and the annual GTG, pretty much the same as last year for the most part, any new ideas welcome. Plenty of room to camp and Motels nearby to get a room, get your reservations plenty early as this is a vacation...

Looking for a late 066 cylinder with 6mm mounting holes that is a good candidate for porting on a 660 project, with a good clean bore. Thanks

When I finished machining the base on a 353 I could not remove the mandrel, it was stuck hard. Finally after some persuasion with a plastic tipped hammer did it come off. Turned out the odd shaped bump out in the lower transfers had caved inwards on both sides. After some reflection I decided...

After talking with some newer folks to the forum it has become apparent to me that the chainsaw GTG thread place is not easily being found or even understood of what GTG even means. Could it possibly be moved from the sub forums under chainsaws and given its own heading in the line up. Also...

Taking a look at a 592xp as it's taken down for porting and what was noticed along the way.

I'm sorry to report that Ahlborn Equipment purveyors of the Forester brand chainsaw and forestry parts and equipment has suffered a roof collapse from heavy snow load. They are somewhat local to me and we've had near a record book topping level of snowfall this year and quite a few places are...

For sale a freshly ported MS361 Stihl, PHO $900.00 plus up to $50.00 towards shipping!

Sometimes run issues either pile up, keep coming at you or as in this case, both. Saw is a Husqvarna 350 in nice shape with a 346xpNE cylinder, a Zama EL42 carburetor and an empty exhaust can from another model. Pretty straight forward build, which I did as a short block for the owner, he wanted...

Already being asked when the next GTG will be, so I figured I best get on it and figure up a date. So far the date has been working well weather wise so I think it best to keep the same. -Will be having a firewood oriented GTG and races on Saturday September 30th, 8:00AM - evening -Breakfast...

Kind of a wrap on these as stocks are dried/ing up, so here's a build thread on the World's last ported new 461. Tear down is pretty basic as well as covered before, a place to start nonetheless.

I was thinking ahead at the time about transpolating just how much I wanted to move the transfer ports, I knew in degrees where I wanted to end up and after just coming off of being sick with sinus pressure headache I could see giving my brain a spasm when it hit me. Duh... use your old timing...

For Sale - 390xp Some back history on the saw, it's a 2019 model and was used for about half a summer season in 2020 as a "big saw" for a local tree guy. At which point one of his men straight gassed it. It was brought to me and I replaced the top end with a new OEM P&C and inspected the bottom...

Started out with a brand new 461 Stihl.

Moly coated pistons that is. While attempting to clean up a cylinder from a burned up chainsaw that was running a Duke's Hi performance piston, it became apparent to me how easily the cleanup was compared to the level of destruction at hand. The Moly coating was coming off first and acting as a...

This thread is for @sawmikaze Ryan, whom has been injured doing some tree work of his and could use some financial help with medical and living expenses while he's laid up for a while. This will be via a go fund me that is set up for him and a raffle that has a chance for every $10 donated...

Just got back my new Stihl MS461 woods ported by @tree monkey . What more can I say about the legend, there was no doubt he was going to build me a great saw. So when I was looking over my saw hoard, there were a bunch of other builders there and none from Scott, so when I came into an...
