Porting

[ursinykb24]

So I am looking for a port job for my mccholluch super pro 80/81 looking for a reasonable price and list of people who are reputable and reliable and good results. I also have heard about getting an insanoized job done to it from a friend wondering who does that? And how much to expect to spend as I have never had a saw professionally ported

Yep, jim seems to do a lot of older saws. Skip the insane-o stuff lol.

I agree with all of the above. Jim is the man with this older saws.

Seems the whole insane-o thing runs about double most others charge for port work, and while strong, I can't see them really being much, if anything, over what any of the esteemed porters on this forum can offer you.

For a bit of reading, check out this thread: http://opeforum.com/threads/jack-hotsaws101-70cc-bench-talk.7591/

And if you haven't already, drop Jim a private message and see where it takes you...

Having seen a few insane-o-ized saws in action, they don’t seem any better than the other offerings. I don’t know his pricing, but if it is twice the price, I can’t see it being worth it.

He obviously makes good running saws and cuts trees and stuff. Only one ive seen run (i think) is a 9010 that he did, and it sounded pissed and looked really strong. I just dont like his videos, or his voice. Everybody ive ever talked to regarding hotsaws101 has said he charges basically twice what most guys do, which is cool, free country and all haha.

Chainsaw Jim is the authority on vintage saw porting on this site in my opinion. Check out the the video of his pro mac 850 stock and ported comparison. Outstanding work

That’s funny. I’m still pissed he leaned that 346 out till it blew. That should be illegal.

That was for testing only lol

 

[longleaf]

Don’t know which was worse watching a 346 lock up or listening to him explain why he did it lol

 

[ursinykb24]

So where and or how do I get a hold of Jim so I can figure it out lol.

Another thing to think about on a resto job like this is too start sourcing parts needs so you can save sometime and stress.

 

[P.M.P.]

Ported saws are a fad...almost as big as bell bottoms

There you guys go again...picking on people.

Sounds like you are good to go! Cant wait to see the build.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

Hey thank you very much for the kind words and referral guys!
I just finished up with a big move into a new house and will be taking on work as soon as I get my shop sorted out and a couple saws finished up. The first build in my new shop will be an immaculate pioneer p60 and I know @cgraham1 and many others will be very happy to hear that.
