Just like everyone that has been mentioned. I will stand behind my work 100%. I have made a few mistakes along the way. And i have fixed some that arnt my fault as I probably should of caught them. But the question is so broad it really depends on the circumstances! But I will guarantee my work 100%.

I have had two saws ported by @Termitebuffet He contacts me frequently and asks how the saw is doing. He wants feedback.

Randy has been working on saws for years and knows what he is doing, I consider him a good friend. He is one of the guys who if anything went haywire with my saws that he would make it right.


My take on ported saws... When I send a saw to be ported, its my deal. If I have a issue ever comes up with any of my saws I will not *b-word. It was my choice to have a saw modded, whatever happens after a "build" is on me if a problem comes up. I do my research on the guys who I have port my saws. I WILL not have any Tom, Dick, and Harry touch my saw. I only let guys who I have a relationship with touch them.

I have had 4 saws ported, only one of them I have been disappointed with, but that was my fault. At that time I did not have a "friendly" relationship with.

I have been extremely happy with the two Randy's.

Termitebuffet 346 and 262
Super3 365

All three of them I consider to be really good friends. As if right now I don't know of any saw that I could possibly want ported. I feel my line up is solid. But I don't think I could sleep at night for a while if I had another saw that I wanted ported and had to decide on who to port it....

Ross, that's an excellent post. I couldn't agree with you more.

I've had two saws done by the 'Weapon-Brandishing Ape' and have two coming back from the 'NC Midget Pig' .... both have always listened and delivered top-notch machines.

I understand the risks involved and I trust both of these guys with my saws.

'Weapon-Brandishing Ape'

Don't blame me.

half dollar and then the quarter..... of course.

That would be the "stage II" mod. That would cost $0.25 more.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

Wouldn't it be $.50 more

 

[tickbitintn]

Me thinks $.75 for "stage 3"....

If a saw I've ported ever breaks I fix them free of charge. If it's had a lot of run time or it was obviously their fault I'll just charge the cost of parts.

I talked to him this morning. He's more into guns right this second.......he doesn't mod saws for people very often. Three kids, rental property, church, work, etc.....

On the OP's questions.......there is no cut and dry 100% answer.

I'll do my very best to make to guy that I'm working with happy. Period. I think we all should do that in every aspect of our lives. If a person doesn't live that way.....then avoid them.

Simple enough?

I think with a ported saw there should be no warranty expressed or implied. There are just to many variables that are out of the hands of the builder. Most builders prefer to sell a saw to those who already know how to use one.
Having said that, most builders would back their work in order to protect their rep.
Of the 10 or so saws I have had built are still running today, except for the one I dumped a tree on.

The biggest issue I have is with people that have no idea how to tune their saw.

They ask me if I can tune it for them before I send it back.......

No.......I cannot.

As elevation changes......air density also changes. That means the carb will need to be adjusted.....

I can tune it so it is perfect today, at this temperature, and elevation. But a high performance engine will need to be tuned daily for the owner to realize it's full potential.

I would also think that any new saw requires a slightly fat setting in the initial stages of breakin.
Nothing worse than someone fiddling with H&L when they don't know what they are doing.
