Like others have said, you need to be able to tinker to keep them working properly. Most that have bought them say that by the time they put enough OEM parts in them to where they ran consistently, they could have bought a used OEM saw in good running condition. When it comes to resale, the...

They are also cooled by fuel when it hits the piston. Heat can be a good thing as long as there’s ample fuel and air to get the job done. Heat will make the engine run lean and running lean will make it run hot. Adding fuel will cool it down and make more power in the process as long as it has...

Saber smells pretty good. 710 also smells good. Dominator doesn’t really smell at all

Dominator, Saber, K2, Motul 710, Castrol Go are all very clean burning. I haven’t seen any buildup inside the exhaust port of a saw running any of those oils. I have seen some from red armor, but only on the floor of a 5 series husky that is sloped heavily downhill and probably out of the wash...

Most echos have aggressive timing like that which is part of what adds to their torque.

Has more to do with the tune and the individual oil. If you’re making carbon and you didn’t like it, switch to something else. The pics in post 27 show that

Do you know what your timing numbers are now as it sits? The 046/460 numbers vary a little bit so I was wondering which one you had to help you out with which way you should go

He definitely knows what he’s doing. He is tree monkey on here. Been porting saws for longer than anyone I know

I wouldn’t think it would matter

I don’t really know that it’s a thing. With a big enough hole in the muffler there’s not much back pressure to speak of 🤷🏽‍♂️

I wouldn’t worry about free-porting on the bottom. Anyone that’s done it says those are some of their better running saws. It’s better than JB weld flaking off the floor

It was never considered political for the last however many years when we had to pay VAT or duty to buy from EU or Canada. Don’t see how it’s considered political now

Same thing happened to me shipping stuff to Canada using UPS. USPS has been better. Not sure if it was duty or tariffs, but at least no duty with USPS yet

We’ve been good since then 🤷🏽‍♂️👍 Just sayin 😂

If the spark plug was black it needed to be tuned. Or it was still black from using Stihl ultra
