The Cut Report - After the Bench

[Stump Shot]

Ever play with the 136-142 series?

I think I have one or two here in the bone yard but never got around to messing with them yet.

As a firewood only kinda guy, I have not the need for a 90cc saw, however, I have to admire the 592xp, it is one heck of a rig that checks a lot of boxes, runs and cuts great, I can lean on it all I can and it just soaks it up. Its easy to start and stays running once it does, meaning no restart after turning the choke off. Low to no vibration. Did I mention it cuts like hell...

I'd like to think that I'm progressing and not regressing...

This MS400C is cutting very well after a woods port job given to it. Very good running and cutting saw. I sure hope the new version can fill its shoes when it's gone.

Must have been arts and crafts day when the muffler mod was done.

How does it sound? Does it knock a bit of the sharp crack off of the exhaust pulse?

I like the made better in Wisconsin decal

As much or more pipe is inside the can, which results in a nice tone without the crack of the flame front coming through.

Man, that sticker is awesome

Haven't had much interesting in a while, well, that changed when finally, I was able to test out this new Stihl 070 that @NightRogue sent me.
While it pales in comparison to the modern saw, I believe that if @mirage can up the sprocket tooth count, she can be an even better cutter, as it has plenty of power left to bear, running about 700 rpm over stock here and still a touch on the fat side for breaking in. I actually had fun working on this 105cc beast I affectionately call Porky Pig because of its all-metal heft. The only thing that didn't go smooth was getting the carburetor to prime without pulling it a thousand times. It took three times squirting mix down the carb throat before it would sustain running. Other than that a few tweaks on the adjustment screws and it was humming along all on its own.
As far as mods go, it got the full treatment, machining, porting, timing, carb, governor and muffler mods. Tried not to get too radical as for one, it'll knock the stuffing out of the bottom end if you get too crazy and for another, it had to be easy to start as well. I think I hit the mark fairly well. These things don't run that fast to begin with.

Cute little bar
I love the sound those old tanks make

The bar was a source of problem for me, I learned the hard way that one from an 088 won't fit, the adjuster holes are in a different place. When I ordered this one, it was a bar and chain combo deal, and the wrong chain was supplied. Finally, after sourcing another chain that fit, could I run the saw.

I thought those 3002s fit all the big Stihls

Was it an open port cylinder?

That's the poor assumption going around.
