Forgot to add: these 6700's and cs 8000's will do any type of work that the modern, more expensive saws can do. Oftentimes at 1/4 the price.
Minor changes, the 6700 will cut identically to a stihl 044.
Minor changes on the cs 8000, it will out-cut all modern stock 70 cc fodder.
The changes are so simple, not even worth sending off for port work.
Regardless of all the typical complaints of weight or cut-speed from the typical echo bashers who have no clue what these saws are, they aren't heavy or slow.
Parts availability and commonly available crank bearings (no proprietary crank bearing bllsht), never any back orders on parts, why wouldn't a cutter maintain a small fleet of these sleepers?!
An example on the cs 8000/800p:
One of the most foolish things would be wasting a bunch of time porting the saw, only to breath through an insufficient carburetor and flapper filter.
The cs 680 filter setup is a direct bolt swap to the CS 8000. The HDA 45 carb is also a direct bolt swap and is substantially larger. The HDA 45 are as cheap as a Chinese aftermarket carb! I have a pile of em.
