A sleeper

Here's one of my work saws,it's a production falling saw. It's also on the limiter.

9 pin 3/8 works well with a 36" bar on ported 880's and 8 pin on 50" bars buried in pitchy Doug Fir. The only problem is a ported 395 works just about as well.

Id rather run the lighter higher rpm saw vs a 880

Nice Mike. What exactly is a logger 450 390?

It's the guys user name. 390 cylinder. I've ported 4 or 5 cylinders and used my 385 for all of them so I had to start labeling them.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. Ok. Thanks. I'll be OK.

No

You should give an RWJ a holler.

I don't know about a rwj.
What's it off of?

Here's Don's poulan pro 505 making the first cuts after port work. Running the same bar and chain with 9 pin as the video before. rakers set at .070 depth
After all other mods but before any port work:

After port work:

I'd say this thing has a good bit left in it if it were to be a race saw.

It's an oversized carb from the 372 x-torq. It's basically what you end up with if you completely hog out a wj39 to the limit.
It has the offset mount holes like the wj and will be easy to fit up.

Nice job Jim. [emoji106]

Running good. I remember Tom Fales used to run them falling with 36" bars and he put finger ports in everything. Just have a different sound .

Jason, that 394 looks a lot stronger, nice job!

Is the limiter making that 066 sound like popcorn?

Why doesn't anyone sell ported cylinders W/ pistons using a saw stripped to the case to get the right port #'s. And then sell the ported cylinder and piston to someone to install and tune. Would that be a bad idea

There are people who do on ebay. There are quite a few members who will grind a cylinder without the saw if it is something they have good experience with.

@Mastermind

Yes?

I didn't know that was going on also. That's good to know.
