Finished the port work on the jug and the saw picked up nicely. Very strong runner. GTG stock or ported.

Opportunity rears it's ugly head again. Sorry for the delay but life happens. Our next competitor is the Farmertec, Huztl. We have a very nice example that seems typical of current offerings. The port finish seems to be average. . That is to say good but not the best ever. The plating has...

OEM FTW!

I like the Hyway pistons. The cylinders are garbage. The plating is worst part. FT is producing a new line of PRO saws that utilize Hyway cylinders and it is a complete disaster.

It has been negative digits here and everything is snow covered so I have not been running any saws. The Warhawk may be held back by its chamber. I think it will do much better modified. My plan is to run the Farmertec along with it both stock weather permitting. Go ahead and bust one out. Now...

Another CiCom Bullet for my buddy over @BZCustoms and some brandy...

They seem to hold better RPM in the cut and the dyno shows why.

Yes I am on the 13,500 coil as well. Tuning to around 13.800-14,000 I am guessing. If my memory serves correct it made no more power than the SLR version.

The saw is a bit tricky to tune. Most of my saws are strongest right when they come off of 4 stroking in the cut. The 7900 continues to pick up and the plug reading indicates that. I tune until it just kisses the limiter and bump the screw 1 more time. Mine is no base gasket and lowers matched...

The reason I ask is because mine has to be into it for max power. It seems to pick up a good bit more.

Thanks Joe! This is the test I have been waiting for. Weight of the 500i caught me off guard. The stigma out there let me to believe it was lighter than the Dolmar. When you tuned the Dolmar where you into the limiter?

Port work increases volume but can make more power. Larger volume also increases the volume of the charge as well. A balancing act and back to skinning the cat I guess.

You have some things correct. There is no room to improve the smaller jug enough in many cases. Why you need new jugs when you go big bore. Anytime you move more CC's (or less) through the same size,shape port timing it changes the powerband. The ports are angled and the larger bore changes the...

The Tecumseh was the best 4 stroke small engine ever. About 50% more torque than a Briggs of comparable HP and last twice as long. Unthinkable they went out of business.
