I've ported and built a few hundred saws im guessing and had 2 fail.
1 was a am wrist pin bearing and the other was that saw there and I've never heard what caused it.

The way I look at it is if you buy a new stihl from your stihl dealor and then take it to the husky dealor for a check up and the husky dealor grenades it and then calls the stihl dealor wanting them to send the husky dealor money to fix it.

I said it in that thread 50 times,I didn't build that saw,I ported a cylinder for it and nothing else.

I still offered to fix it but that wasn't good enough so I told them to pound sand.

Win some loose some.

The dang goat got a hold of a good sized branch and drug it in his pen, he then rapped himself and the branch in his chain, before it was over I was almost
Late for work and had to get a chainsaw
To cut the end of the branch so I could slide the chain off....
Stupid goat :(

Me and Brad do not mix and still he told me the porting had nothing to do with it and I still offered to fix it.

I've grenaded a few of my own saws doing R&D and seen pictures of lots of grenaded saws and not once have I seen a rod broken,neither has Brad.

They wanted to blame it on a lightened piston but if that's the case there's a 100 or more that should have exploded already, I think the rod broke from a casting flaw but who knows.

@67L36Driver I mailed the pin at break should be there Thursday

Cool!

I've had two powerheads shoot craps. One an XL-101 rod bolt backed out at WOT. Clutch spun itself off and went across the street into the public school grounds. Now use blue Locktite and double check the bolts.

Another a Pioneer P-21 piston skirt disintegrated. Excessive wear. Took lots of rinsing to get all the tiny bits out of the crankcase.

I think the fact he was recording makes the whole thing smell bad you know what I mean. And if I ever had a saw worth porting I would be hitting you up I think you the closest builder to me.

Read this thread when you have some time, the truth really comes out at about page 9 or so......

http://opeforum.com/threads/064-need-suggestions.4442/
The truth about what?

On page 9 I was commenting on a saw that I had no idea I built.
I found out what saw it was right here on the forum like everyone else did.

That Thorne is going to be in my side for awhile.

Every post on page 9 from me was with no idea I ported that saw.
Pretty classy way of letting me know about it I thought

@BrettL and @Dub11 , before long I will have a bunch of wood to clean up at a neighbor's. I figure once I get it here, I may have to see if y'all want to have a mini KS GTG here and play with some saws for a bit. Might could arrange to fire up the smoker as well.

Any tentative date yet? I may be busy on the 11th, but everything else is open.

You got it backwards! You should have cut the goat to get the branch off!
I got a pet goat once for the kids and it all came to an end when the goat was standing on my motorcycle stored in the barn. But the last straw was when I caught the goat with one of it's feet stuck through my snowmobile cover and hood. I was going for the shotgun when the wife asked what's going on. She said to not do it because she had just read an ad from someone looking for goats for slaughter. I told her to call him now, because this goat is not going to be living here much longer! He came the next day and the goat was gone. The neighbors teased me about that thing for years.

My project for tonight. My legacy saw. It's my dead grandpa's. I got the job at the prison by the way also. They called me today. Time to make serious money and buy some saws
Prison where?
