044 build

[Heffalump]

Mrs Heffalump just told me to thank you for porting her new 044......



Oh well. There are worse things than having a Mrs who likes badazz chainsaws.....

Nice job Jim!

 

[Heffalump]

I just queued them up with the pause button and watched them run a full cut (unported 2nd cut v ported 4th cut) against each other. Truly impressive improvement.

 

[RI Chevy]

What were the times?

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

The best I can tell is about 26 seconds down to about 18.

 

[RI Chevy]

Quicker in time and much more power. Double win win.

 

[Heffalump]

Unported 2nd cut 27sec vs Ported 3rd cut 17sec.

 

[Heffalump]

Or what Jim said.....

Women like that get bigger diamonds.

 

[Heffalump]

Mrs Heffalump agrees wholeheartedly.

 

[lwhaples]

Nice looking saw with some real grunt. Nice!

 

[Heffalump]

Out of curiosity, do you have the timing numbers and port dimensions? Was the ignition timing advanced? And what am I tuning that piss-revver up to now RPM wise?

I can't wait to run that bad mama-jama against @sawfun 's MM'd quiver. There's gonna be a showdown in the barnyard.

Good job Jim.

Interested in number so as well.

My last was 102/120/78 and ran quite well.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

I'll degree it when I get a chance tomorrow. I just finished a late night up giving Dave's jonsereds a look through and getting the numbers from my 066/394 hybrid before I grind on it.

 

[Heffalump]

Please promise me that I will get to run that ported 066/394 when I get down there. That thing was freaking sick last time!!!

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

The only reason you didn't run it when you were here is because it still wasn't running right and I didn't want to cook it with more than one cut.
I'm hoping it'll be done and maybe have a pipe on it when you're back down.

 

[Heffalump]

Mrs Heffalump wants to run it too....

 

[Brewz]

+1 on the numbers

The numbers are in...
102 117 71 are what I came up with. The ignition is advanced 5 degrees. I'm going to run it again tomorrow with the ignition back where it started as I suspect it doesn't need advanced.

Vince (of In-vince-able worksaws) dropped up today with a 10mm 044 he had worked his voodoo on for me.
Absolutely great saw to run,tons of lowdown grunt in a lightweight package.
My new favorite saw (next to my mastermind 241cm)
