Stock to Ported

[bryanr2]

Not in front of my saws at the moment but they just popped in my head. I’d got away from saws for a bit as my life was taking me in another direction, but over the last few months, I’ve started dabbling my toes in saws again adding quite a few. I realized as I was calling the models off in my head by size that for the first time in the 15 years since I got really into saws, I have more stock saws than ported. The ratio is 2:1 not including those in my nos collection.

What’s your current ratio?

 

[Loony661]

Currently, my ratio is 4:4 Ported and Stock.

No ported saws yet ….. been wanting to send an 044 and 066 out but funds have been tighter than I’d like

 

[Ketchup]

35:12?

 

[EFSM]

6 ported, 2 stock.

 

[bryanr2]

K. So I had to write them down. Not quite 2:1. I’ve got-
5 stock
4 ported
3 nos

Getting ready to add a 2511 to use and another nos saw within the month.

I don't own a saw that isn't ported. Currently I own 12 saws.

 

[Ronaldo]

6 saws and none ported. All have muffler mods and most have base gasket removed. These are improvements that are in my level of capabilities

2 ported, about 2 dozen stock.
Loving each and every one of them.

I find the ported ones to be fun to run & show of, but too volatile for all day usage.

 

[MG2186]

All my running ones I use are ported

 

[Jusgunn3]

5 ported
4 stock waiting to be ported

 

[FederalQ]

2 ported, 8 stock(most have muffler mods).

All my saws are ported. Can't hardly stand to be around stock saws.

All my saws are ported. Can't hardly stand to be around stock saws.

Even though the chains dull faster and they blow up sooner……,,, not sure how you get anything even logged

 

[Cat 525]

If a guy is going to carry a saw all day you might as well carry one that gets here done faster! And you can tote a lighter saw the way I look at it.

I think I’m 10:1 ish, 3 ported saws and way too many that just sit around

I have five ported & a little over 5 times that stock. @bryanr2 will remember this one.

No ported saws here. I am just a hobbiest who cuts some firewood. I enjoy rebuilding saws. I have 5 Stihls, 3 Husqvarna, 5 McCullochs, 1 Homelite and 1 Prentice-Reed (Craftsman). None were new when I got them, several were even found at the dump in various states of damage. One even survived a fire.
