At least you're using a decent ratio. I wonder if the oil thread campers ever say 'Hey, here's some supa dupah oil for your car - just run your car with 2 quarts instead of 7 and you'll be fine!'

What I never understand is when people buy Mobil one for there car but use a cheap azz filter...

 

[00wyk]

My friends' wife's car has a leak near the rear main bearing. Mechanic says it won't likely get worse, just watch the oil. Come in when they're ready to repair it. It leaks about a quart a month. So, they haven't changed the oil or filter for 2 years. They just add a quart a month. I am sure the environment loves them.

Sounds like you need some better drill bits

I don't have a drill press, but that dog defeated some real good drill bits.

It's a fringe benefit of working in the same *s-word hole for 15 years lol.

That a Bridgeport baby!

Drill presses are flimsy 3rd world crap compared to these bad boys.

Same 28” 8 pin semi skip square on both. Some kind of scotch or pitch pine. Both cut within 1.4 sec of each other on average, hit a knot on the last cut with the 7900. Suprised by the XT, it’s got some nuts for 71cc’s.

 

[MustangMike]

My 044 will cut damn close to as fast as my ported 460 … if you don't lean on it. When you lean on it, you know the difference!

 

[huskyboy]

I tried to be consistent and pushed on them enough to keep in the powerband by feel. That was stock chain out of the box too. Bore cutting hardwood timber, the 7900 does have more grunt.

What mods did you do to both saws Mason?
They ran good.

 

[huskyboy]

I modded two xt’s out of the 3 we have, both basically the same way. Matching the lowers to the base (lot of grinding), more intake duration, ditched the gasket, removed casting slag off the pistons, timing advance and muffler mod. One has the strato intact and the one in the video has the divider removed out of the carb and intake horn but not the boot as part of experimentation. The 7900 is done pretty much the same way and has the slab sided piston. I have both tuned a bit past the limiter.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice Mason. I bet both would do a little better with a full woods port and carb job.
