Saw building numbers.

[Lightning Performance]

Thank you all. I understand that it's way more than numbers I was kinda looking for a "base line" to go buy. But I do understand that it's different for each saw. I will do much more research and read the posts you provided. Thanks again.

Do this.
Keep your base gasket. A tuning trick is to remove it and test again. You need help from guys who build Husky saws, I don't. The flow is always more important than the numbers. Things work in balance with the next piece. It sounds stupid but the "tune" when nailed just sounds like a symphony. Nothing strained or pressed.... it just flows out smooth power evenly and never seems to stop pulling. That applies to anything well thought out and correctly feed with proper timing.

And I'll add that everything has a ceiling and breaking point or failure.

I've never heard of anyone running a saw you ported.....

Probably only did thirty tops. Sold most of them when finished. Have not ground on one in a few years. No one picks up my saws at a gtg. Just work saws nothing special. You sound disappointed or defensive or ? Clue me in.

The direction of the flow is just as important as the numbers.

Tweaked this a lil bit Kenneth.

Just hate to see people slinging "advice" around.....

I'm in a *s-wordty mood.

Just am....

Skip the 268 piston and get a Wiseco from definitive Dave. I like about the same numbers in a race saw and work saw 372.

I will look into that. Does he have a website? What are the numbers you like Ina 372 ? I'm just asking for a reference to start from.

Why not start with telling us what numbers your 372 has now ?

He said before that he doesn’t have a timing wheel yet but he’s getting one.

He has a link at the top of this page. Chainsaw Conservation Components.

The link with the log rolling in front of his name

It’s an EBay store

I agree with Mike here, the weisco is gunna be way lighter than the meteor too.

As I said before I am new to all of this. I should have a wheel this week and will get numbers when I get my piston . I'm not sure what numbers I should have and I'm in the process of reading on it.

Thats a good start

I can build two saws with wildly different numbers that end up running pretty much the same way.

Ok that's good to know as well. These are the things I'm trying to learn. I thank you all for your help and guidance.

A few years ago I would have been happy to share my thoughts. But.....I've learned that there are so many variables involved that its nearly impossible to narrow it down to a set of numbers that really work better than another.

Besides, the learning process is the fun part.

Yes I've been having fun...

I'm not in the fray .I will say this however ,the subject has a lot of thoughts and usually most are correct with regards to other included modifications .Even if certain port timing numbers were published including a detailed port map I can about bet no two would run exactly the same .Then what's it going to be used for? Hoger for big wood,cookie cutter ,impress your buds' cutting a pick up truck full of fire wood on Saturday ?
