Saw video thread

And get the good side of the cant

That helps a lot too. LOL

He won on both sides. They switched and ran again I thought.

Do you ever give up! Do you race? Like Clint said it was the only Stihl that won all day! Why are you so adamant about it? I got beet by a saw that a professional ported/fixed. I’ve ported 3 or 4 saws total, I was pretty happy to even make it to the finals.

 

[RI Chevy]

Sorry. Didn't realize I struck a nerve. I'll gracefully bow out of your thread.

I wasn't referring to you bud. Just a general rule of thumb for winning. Pick the better side of the cant

 

[smokey7]

It seems like nerves are getting struck very easy lately. Seen it in forsale adds and several other threads. I sure hope we can all get along. I enjoy some of the banter that occurs with some hardcore brand loyalists. I dont think @RI Chevy was trying to be a richard cranium. @MG2186 if you made it to tge finals as a underdog builder/porter you should be very proud i sure would be. Please guys i dont like seeing us riff raffers getting pissed at one and other. I hope im not stepping on toes by speaking about it further but nice race and be proud your work saw did so well.

Pretty damn good showing! Impressive.

You are fine Jeff. He is still sore from getting it on both sides of the cant is all. He will heal up.

Made the finals in 3 of the 4 worksaw classes but was only able to win one. This was my 2nd racing event ever, guess I could be somewhat happy, but who’s happy with 2nd place. More work to do on my part.
As far as the 6 cube class goes, Clint’s saw is strong, it beat Matt and his TM 064 pretty good to. The 2186 that I’m running I built/ported for a friend. I hate to loose especially to a Stihl but Clint’s a great guy and he deserved it

You did a helluva job man. Consistent all day. Just keep doing what you're doing. You got strong saws and fast chains.

Thanks for the kind words Mike, I just got lucky is all.

Next time wear some of the Husqvarna britches and he will be starring at them the whole time.

I could use some help figuring out the rich bog after a long cut

Did it have that before porting? How wild is the portjob? I assume its been vac and pressure tested after build?

Not vac and pressure tested yet. Nothing fancy on the port work.

Timing seems pretty far advanced. Maybe carb is running dry?

It's a rich bog. Puff of black smoke when you gun it after idling for 5 or 10 seconds

 

[huskihl]

It has the el46 carb on it

 

[RI Chevy]

Ok. Sorry Maybe an inside carb adjustment?

Seems that I read something about it, but I can't remember if it was the 562 or 550.

I remember something about that as well. Iirc it was Keith Gandy that posted it. I think he said something about a plug that could be removed to access the adjustment. I could be totally out to lunch here but for some reason this rings a bell with me.

Nope. I think you're right.

@Keith Gandy does this ring a bell?

 

[Keith Gandy]

Yes sir. There is an adjustment over the left carb bolt on the rear of the carb under a brass welch plug. Drill and pull that plug . It affects topend adjustment and mine ran better on top at 1/2 counterclockwise which richened it from what I saw
