Saw video thread

Joking, I haven't even bought one with a smoked bottom end yet

That's cuz yers mostly just balance the red vs orange hues on your garage shelf.

We'll never wear one out when there's 30 to choose from

The OE seems already kind of on the edge of what was possible with 6202 bearings on both sides of the crank. But at least they were metal cages vs plastic on the xtorq. The piston is also significantly lighter. Especially the one ring one. I still think the xtorq is a good worksaw though. Great torque. Just wouldn’t run it at the rpm of the OE with an unlimited coil. There is a reason why they have a limited coil from the factory.

I wish, I'd like a garage, at least I have them in the basement. Yes, I'm all about color coordination .
That is the plan, have many and rotate them often, keeps them fresh. That being said I've owned a lot of parts saws, builders, and those needing carbs done, still haven't had a bad bottom on and xt or seen one here or in person, but I've owned many bad oe's.

Do you think that's the only reason for the limited coil?
They are great cutting saws, so forgiving in that wide power band.

I hear that, just wondering where they were coming in at.

I know a saw that 4 strokes at 17k. It’s scary.

Regardless i want video!

I know my 064 that @srcarr52 did for me will do it. We have both seen it.....But I definitely dont run it there, no powa

Maybe i should get a picture of the tach, that seems like the cool thing to do

Full comp 32” bar in oak. It was stronger in previous cuts off camera leaned out a bit more. But I left it a bit rich for break in. I am impressed with this saw. This 50mm OE with the 1 ring piston is probably my favorite of the different 372 top ends I’ve ran.

7 pin?

You need a good 460/461 or 7300 to compare side-by-side with...

Yes 7 pin. They would need to be a modded or ported one for a fair comparison.

 

[RI Chevy]

Well. You know, 460/461 or 7300 Masonized. Lol.

 

[redline4]

Some 046 noodles.
32", Oregon JGX with about a tank on the chain.
I should hit it with a file.

 

[RI Chevy]

Looks good Ed.

 

[redline4]

Looks good Ed.

Thanks. I still need to try a timing bump that @Stump Shot told me to..
Saw turned out pretty good for being primarily left over parts.
And I still want to wire up the heated handles sometime soon.
