Buyer Beware ????

What do you fellas think about this? The customer waited 15 months for his saw to be done....and this is the work he got.

I don't have an eye to tell if it's good or bad since I don't port. It looks clean, but the question I would have (that I would understand about it) is did it run, did it run good, Ok or crappy? I am guessing crappy since it is in your shop. Were the holes enlarged too much?

Here's the real problem....

did the impulse port get ported?

Maybe 30 months turnaround is the ticket!?

Not chamfered?!

Bevel bruhaha stage 2 package?

No.

No plating left between the ports. Well.....there is a sliver.

did it run good

I have no idea. After the trouble the guy had getting his saw back....he didn't even start it. Sent it to us to check out. This jug is getting replaced.

Dang, and I was worried when i left 2mm between ports

Dang, and I was worried when i left 1.5mm between ports

I would have thrown this jug in the trash can had my burr gotten away from me like this. I sure as hell wouldn't have reinstalled it and sent it.

I would take .020 off the flywheel key and apply it to the plating with electrolysis. No new cylinder.

Welp....the timing wasn't advanced.....so, maybe. Carb limiters were completely gone too. Sure fire way to bend the fugh outta the needles with a screwdriver.

Another technique you can use is quad port to dual port transformation. Just grind it all away.

I thought the "texture was rough" so thanks for posting what not to expect.

And that’s why I have stuck to the same builder since 2010. I just ain’t gonna take the risk of buying someone else’s mess.

Rough in the transfers and intake ain't really a problem. A burr finish is even fine. The intake port shape is terrible though.....but that's not a big deal really. It's the area between the upper transfers the made us decide to replace the cylinder. The muffler had a coating of fine metal dust inside of too....from the muffler mod. Lots of little things that just weren't Kosher.
