Lol,I did look at that picture for a good minute and thought "that's not the same picture " . I was actually looking at that cylinder today and thinking I need to gather the parts to build the open port saw and try some porting ,wondering how it would run.

Mine had a solid slug piston in it. I could have gone apeshit opening the ports had I wanted to. I think you could get a lot out of a 65 open port, especially since this one had the Walbro carb they used on the 72. The pin location woulda allowed finger ports, too. But I think just a little finger out of the primary would make a big difference without beating up the rings too much.

I'm gonna do something with it soon, don't know about finger ports ,haven't gained that much knowledge yet. May have to bug some of you guys on that. Plus I still have quite a few parts to come up with.

Took this the other day when I was out grabbing up a saw.

Then my boy was freaking out pointing behind me, I thought he was saying there was a dog, nope.
Saw an opossum the other day too, way warm for the beginning of feb, supposed to have the bottom drop out tonight.

A 'trick' I use is I start the finger ports with a stone bit. That way it won't chip the plating, doesn't clog up too quick, and they are very easy to control even at high speeds - it's almost like painting or drawing. And if it slips, it does little to no damage, and the bits are dirt cheap and come in a lot of different shapes and sizes. Once the plating is gone, and a rut begins to appear, I move to a burr and take it slow. I started to do the finger off of the primary when I caught some guys in the RC crowd doing it. A lot of the cylinders they use in RC are open port, and these guys were doing the finger thang all the time. I brought that in to my chainsaw porting when I came across the open port 365's, and added the trick of tightening up the top of the port to concentrate the flow like Randy et al have even doing, and it really helps the things rev much better. Another thing is many RC engines are designed to work at a specific RPM. So you get an idea what the factory thought the porting should look like for a specific max power at a specific RPM. I just found that interesting.

I had a Greyhound that killed a skunk once. I was terrified when I saw him go after it. But aside from a bit of musk, he came out OK. He just grabbed the skunk while it was trying to run, twirled it around in a bone-crunching, neck-snapping maneuver, and threw it up in the air and left it where it lay.
