I admit, I'm surprised that type of thing isn't more common. It's so easy to roach a saw... My last screamer came to me from the builder and wouldn't 4stroke at all, pretty lean outta the box. H & L took a good bit of tuning to get it dialed in.

My 1st ported saw (by Dan H.) I have not touched the carb. No need as of yet... It runs tried and true every time.

I haven't touched my Dan Henry 372 since he built it 3-4 years ago. It always sounds great. Lol.

I was thinking about it. I have a few prior engagements, but looking into it. It is a trek for me.

It is a trek! Love to have you though!

Here's how I tune one.
1 and 1 and the la just touching is where I start. This saw hasn't ran in over a week so it's cold and stiff. It tunes great for a very ported saw. Listen for lean then fat then sweetness. @CR500

Thank you Jason, I look forward to your video. I saw a good one on YouTube where the guy intentionally tuned lean, then fat and killed the saw and restarted it so he could explain at different points.

I feel like the low screw is more obvious. The last saw I tuned before this one had an air leak so I really struggled. This 066 had good throttle response so I felt like the low was good. It also burbled at WOT out of the wood but not in the wood. I felt this was also good for the high but I will check with tach in the future. I was told this saw likes 13.3k.

I put the saw in the mail today and it should arrive at Scott's on monday. He says he'll let me know what he finds. A few posts on here tell me the findings are to be between me and him. Is it polite protocol to leave the details behind and just post a video and thumbs up once I get it back? I just don't want to ruffle any feathers.

Spark plug must have not been torqued to spec.

 

[huskytime]

The plug in the 066 was plenty snug. For the record the arrow on the piston pointed correctly forward.

Looking at the piston pic damage, I am not sure the first thing that comes to mind is operator error lean sieze/straight gas. It looks like the cylinder has ingested something (bearing cage etc) and caused havoc. I wonder if the muffler rattles when shaken.

Somethin like that, (bearing cage or foreign object) isn't usually centrally located over the ex. Port. I could be wrong, but it looks like it hung.

Leave it up to Scott. It's his creation. He will probably come on here and let us know anyways. He is a fantastic builder, this mishap, whatever caused it doesn't take away from that. The fact that he is making it right means everything!

If Scott was to tell us, it would probly be in the form of a riddle.

First let me say welcome to OPE!

I would talk with the builder about sharing what happened on the phone or in PMs. He may prefer to explain it himself to the general public.

You have been very respectful and understanding and proof cooler heads will prevail.


I think in situations like this it's important to leave the communication between the two parties involved.

I also feel that if you reached roadblocks or your get burned by any member that a few key private messages to some respected members that maybe able to help you wouldn't be wrong.

That only really matters for ring-end location, but pistons can be used "backwards".

 

[Mattyo]

I have a piston remnant that was used backward..... it's way worse.....

And no
...I didn't do it.

 

[leadfarmer]

Not me. I have a nasty reputation as a cruel dude. They say I am ruthless. They say that I'm crude. But we had one thing in common, we were good in bed. She said faster faster, Brush Ape the lights are turnin' red.

Question on saw pistons. I though they were made like automotive pistons and have the wrist pin offset slightly for thrust. And couldn't be ran backwards. Am I wrong?
