I originally ported this saw last year... it ran like a raped ape... and then the carb formed a crack and feed it a bit too much... carb after carb (5 in total) didn't work. Finally I purchased a used WA79 for $23... how could I say no... as this was the last push. If it didn't work, I was going to use the saw as target practice for the the 30-06 & 25-06... Below are pics of when I first picked it up and brought it home... cough cough, last year.

This video I'm comparing the carbs and game planning on what to do.

Figured why spend the time to make it look all nice, just get it done... if it runs go back and clean it up... if it doesn't, use it as target practice.

Took a few pulls to fire it... I let it warm up and then started the piss revs. Still needs to be tweaked and stuck in wood. I still have to open the rear of the carb up to .620" it's currently at .558" diameter.

Annnnd this fawker is still fighting me. Lol. But, it's up and running so I'll take it as a win.

Well, 'Nemesis' is coming around. I pushed it a bit hard, it took it. Tomorrow at my dad's I'll drop a tree or two with it.
