I have a preference for quad transfer cylinders. I started laying out a couple and got a little carried away. So I figure I might as well post up some pictures. Hopefully it stimulates discussion.

I bought this saw for myself when I was porting a couple of others. I gassed it up and it road the crane for about 10 cuts. It’s been sitting ever since. Doesn’t even have a full tank through it. Bone stock. $500 PHO shipped to your door. The last pic shows all the dirt the saw has ever...

Hi folks I need a dead 7900/10 cylinder to trim down for a hybrid experiment. Can be AM, big bore, scored, busted fins, whatever. Functional and cheap would work as well. Unfortunately, it has to be 52 or 54mm. Let me know if you have something. Plenty of trade goodies, though not much...

Fellas, I could use some help here. A guy brought me this 500. It pops and dies within 5 seconds. No amount of throttle or priming improves it. Will not pop if throttled while starting. I’ve been all through the saw. It had some light scoring on the intake side of piston so I replaced...

Here’s some discussion of the 2511t I’ve been using at work for the last 4 years. I did minimal mods to it before putting it into service. Hopefully it gives people an idea of how these saws hold up over time. Fair warning, there aren’t going to be many pretty pictures in this thread. Lots...

Looking for a complete saw in decent condition. It’s a gift for an old friend. He insists it was the best saw he ever had. Mag2 considered, but I’m pretty sure his was a Super. Cash, trades, or whatever’s clever. Thanks!

Not a saw I know much about but I don’t believe MK2 will work. This one threw a circlip, entire top end destroyed. Appreciate the help. -Caleb

Hi guys! I’m porting my first 357. Target numbers are 106/124/80. Maybe a bit higher on the exhaust. My question is has anyone left the secondaries low and just brought up the primaries? @huskihl, @Stump Shot, @Mastermind , @drf256, @srcarr52, @Red97, and anyone else! Open to any advice...

5100, 7900, 681. Complete-ish. Newer versions considered. Thanks! -Caleb

46mm, Almost any condition. I have good ones, but I need a ruined one to cut on. Will trade.

I got this 490 for free. Some folks were saying that a 490 piston might do good things in a 4910 jug, so why not? I read around to get an idea of where I wanted to go with this saw. I might as well save the next guy some search time...

I’ve got a friend deep in the hurricane cleanup. I’m months out and half a continent away. Anybody know a porter in Florida I can get him in contact with?

So I’m porting a 550mk2. The base cut is limited by the flange under the transfer covers. But the base gasket is quite thick. I didn’t love the idea of a full delete, so I cut a can. Here’s the thing: That gasket looks like an insulator. Am I going to have overheat issues? MK1...

I’m looking for some 3/4” saw chain for a little art project. Teeth can be beat. Number of drive lengths negotiable. I probably need 20-30 links. Cash or trade. Thanks, folks.

Ive got a 395 with a bad top (something went through it and chipped the plating). It’s no beauty queen and doesn’t really warrant a brand new cylinder. Anybody have an older one they’re willing to sail?

Howdy Gents I’m looking for a mostly complete Jonsered 2156/59. I don’t need the carb, intake track or p&c. A couple other missing smalls is fine but I need a saw that looks fairly nice. Back story: A buddy of mine has helped me out a lot with a hybrid project I’m doing. In the process he...

I have another one of these on the bench right now. Thought I’d share. Everything except that little chainsaw heart on the right is the same as a 150t. Mostly a basket of plastic bits woven together and tacked with t-20 screws. They come apart fine once you’ve done a couple but I can’t help...

The Echo cs-2511t is an outstanding saw. I’ve had the pleasure of porting several and thought I would share my current build. So here goes. Comments and criticism are welcome. New saw amongst the typical dirty orange stuff. Some new parts. I really love these saws. The strip down in...

So this one has me stumped. Low use 2511 with a muffler mod, carb delimit and BG delete. Saw runs very rich. Only tune it will run on is L 3-3/4 out, H all the way in. No pressure or Vac leaks. I’ve been through the carb. Popoff seems okay, lever height is correct, diaphragms look good...

I thought I’d do a write up of my experience trying to build a Wild Thing for the buildoff. Not long after @Stump Shot announced the Wild Thing build off I found PA Dan’s thread on AS. Dan made it seem like the Wild Thing had potential. And I thought it would be fun to do a no consequence...
