Anybody else satisfied with stock chainsaws?

Ive seen very few cylinders Ive been into yet that couldnt benefit from casting flaws removed and ports squared a bit to improve flow?

I would consider that porting Keith.
What cylinders have you seen that needed nothing?

Imo a simple gasket delete, a MM, and at least check the port windows for burrs and rough edges while u r in there is worth the time when a saw is new

Ummm. I see your point. Personally I would say if your removing mostly casting flash then that wouldn't be port changing. The factory "Should" have removed the flash before supply to give the designed shape and clean line . If you change the shape of the ports as well then that would fall into "porting modifications" in my mind but then I feel there are many levels of "Porting".

If you are just taking out casting flash, it kinda falls in the blueprinting category.

I agree and If I delete a gasket or have the squish cut I almost always change timing alil and square/clean the ports up

I love to port saws and it clears my mind and is very relaxing. 2 of my favorite thoughts while Im porting are right here, my wife Heather and daughter Madie!!

Beautiful family there Keith, a lucky man!

044#1 is just "modified", no porting, but I did delete the gasket (thanks to your advice) and advance the timing (20/1000). I wish you lived closer, I would love to get your take on running it. I've put the 28" light bar on it with RSL, it makes for a nice light weight package. That saw likes to be tuned at 15,000, or it just feels too fat. I think they just did this one right from the factory.

It does not have the torque of my ported 77 cc saws, but if you let it stay in it's RPM range, it will cut right with them, and is faster than my other 70 cc saws, which both run great.

Thanks Mike!! Ya I love the way a 28 es light balances on a 44/46! Seems to float

You guys run your saws? Most of mine sit in the shop for a while until finished then sit on a shelf for a longer while.
