Wish I could make it Randy, but I don't think my saw would be legal to compete. I put an OEM 460 piston in it to reduce the vibs, and a HL Supply Door Buster Jug with the intake lowered and some shallow bridge ports. It runs nice! Also has an OEM carb. (HD 16).
Don't know why so many of these saws have starting problems, but replacing the carb often helps, but does not always cure it (still often takes more than normal # of pulls to start). And the Asian carbs that come with them have all but driven me nuts, and when you replace them with OEM, the choke does not function properly! (I spray the control lever with Fluid Film to get it to operate smoothly, then mod the control lever to get OEM carbs to work). Also, if you don't mod them, the choke plate on ALL the carbs that come with these kits stick closed!
One BB I did started and ran fine. So I took it into the woods to cut a tree, and it would not start. So I pulled the air filter cover, poured some fuel from the tank into it, primed it, and it ran just fine. Next morning, could not get it to run even with priming!!! WTF!!! Have had several do similar stuff after running just fine 1, 2 or 3 times previously. I'm thinking there must be junk in the carb (like in the rest of the saw). Had a big piece of metal fall out of one of the main bearings when I flushed it with WD-40.
These saws have been very challenging. About the only things better on the 440 kits (compared to the 660 kits) is the fast idle usually works, and if you replace the chain adjusters with OEM or HL Supply, you usually don't have to shim anything!
