Saw video thread

[Chainsaw Jim]

Here's a clip of @sawfun's poulan pro 505. No port work done yet, just muffler mod, gasket delete, ignition bump, and carb mod. it's running the same chain and 9 pin as my ms460 I recently posted a clip of. The raker gap on this chain is about .075, so it's a bit too aggressive.

Maybe port work would make it able to make better use of the low rakers? Seems strong for a stock saw to me.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

Don...this is a very strong saw for stock. Though at this point the only thing still stock on it is the p&c.
I'm convinced it'll give a 390 a run after it's ported.

I'm liking the sound of that, we'll literally and figuratively.

I'm thinking the 505 should be called Woodshark super and the 655 Woodshark magnum?

Sounds real good Mike!
A real ripper.

It's pretty well even with your 660 with the same chain. Not bad to give up 7cc

Wow

I've already got it pulled back apart to get started. I should be done tonight.

Sort of off topic, but does anyone here know of reasonable option cost-wise for a MS290 coil? I'm getting a 290 off of one friend, in need of a coil, to help out another friend who's family is fairly hard up and wants to cut His own wood... If he had the experience of running a ported saw safely I might give Him one of mine, but he's not there yet and I don't want to set Him up for failure or a bad situation...

There are enough 290's floating around where you should be able to pick a used one up cheap.

You can get AM ones on EBay for less than $15 shipped, and under $30 w/carb.

I think that's pretty much the same coil as used from the 021 on up to the 460 or 660. Most of the difference between them is plug wire length. I think it was @Definitive Dave who posted a sweet thread on coils and their corresponding part numbers to flywheels, or something like that. I can't find it or I'd post a link for you.

The first time my partner use a saw.
Old Clinton "oh that looks fun"

 

[RI Chevy]

Sounds cool. Where's the clutch cover? Lol

 

[jmssaws]

My new 394 first cuts.
It's new so it's only at 13k
