Porting, You get what you pay for

I like the bottom picture best..
Who did that one?

 

[Cut4fun]

Exactly...
Same in the world of fast chains. I've seen some that had to have had 10-12 hours of work on em. Beautiful.

Slow as hell..

Then some look like a 9 year old took to em with a file for a half hour that cut fast.


Give me the fast one....

Thats why I dont get excited when folks post a chain for us to look at, I could give a squat how pretty and shiny it looks. Many pretty looking turds out there. But they sure look good in a pic posted.

Intuitively you might think this would be helpful. However, flow through a duct is never on the surfaces of the duct, it's always through the center. I deal with this all the time at work.
Further, getting more out of a two cycle is seldom about bulk flow. More often it's about timing the multiple events that take place in a two cycle in the correct manner.

I agree. When I first started porting the grinding itself was fun and gets carried away if one doesnt contain themselves. Realizing the factory engineers arent dummies and myself realizing that sometimes less is more lead to better ported saws for me

 

[Genius]

When you hire a porter your not hiring a grinder your hiring knowledge.

Now that is some extremely solid advice right there.


Well said sir.

I can, however appreciate the work that went into all the fancy ones.

I warrantied a saw at no cost other than shipping
I modified the saw for the agreed cost
once I found out from the guy that started this thread there was a problem with the saw I told him to send it to me id repair it at my cost.
once the owner finally sent me a pm saying he wasn't happy and the saw had more problems I told him to return it for repair at my cost.
I also told him id replace the saw if it got to that point at my cost.

Admittedly, I was entitled to no explanation, however, with Terry having offered the above, I am more than satisfied that if the saw's owner cannot be made happy, it pretty much is the fault of the owner at this point.

Like I think Hedgerow said, if Terry was going to stand behind it, which he stated he would, I would have run the hell out of that piston and cylinder.

Good for you Terry, you have my respect, and if needed, my apology, if anything I said was unwarranted. I would hope anyone working on anything I own would offer the effort I quoted from you above.

Ford, you did a good thing too if it has brought the issue to light where it apparently was not and Terry now has the chance to make it right and the owner will hopefully have the saw he wanted. I'd box it up and send it on, you've done all you needed to, repair shouldn't come out of your pocket, nor does it sound like it needs to.

Who is Mmforestry (I think) and what was meant by the post you deleted?

 

[tree monkey]

What if you modify a new saw and do everthing 100%, not a spec of dirt or metal. Then the rod bearing or something else takes a crap because it was defective and the saw had no run time prior to moding. I do not think the moder automatically assumes responsibility. Different story if the moder screwed up. I hope that clears up my opion.

I agree

I'm gonna be gone for a few hours.

Please.......treat each other with respect.

It costs nothing, and elevates the man.

So hawt right now.

teutonic plate shifting aside, if the builder is a member here that changes things completely for me

Flipflopper.

Neither or both..
It's Terry's recipe for the 562.
And it's a fast bastard.

Look, I don't ask how the sausage is made..
Don't care..
Just as long as it's good sausage.

You can get a good look at a steak by sticking your head up a bull's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it?

There is quite clearly two sides to this story. The builder claims he sold a "modified" saw to his customer, not ported. The OP is clearly doing the right thing by trying to help out the owner as well. The builder also states he has done everything he can to help out the customer. It would be hard for the builder to do anymore to help out the customer, if he did not know there was another problem with the saw. Especially when it appears the saw owner has changed his story about the saw more than once. And then there are the usual guys, who don't have a dog in the fight, pouring gas on the fire. There are now three people involved, and a thread that really has not solved anything. Hopefully now since the builder actually knows there is still a problem with the saw, it will get fixed. In the end, so long as the builder does right by the customer, that's all that really matters.
