Shouldn't You "pay" people to port their saws considering how much material You remove and dispose as scrap?!

Here's a shop tip that nobody remembers or they weren't taught.

One of my biggest pet peeves is recoil ropes that pull out because of a slipped knot.

So after you melt the rope and smooth it out for ease of installation. You tie your knot and ship it. That's where the problem is. That slick and smooth end will ruin your day when you least want it to. What I do to eliminate that issue is re-melt the end after the knot is tied and flatten/bulge it out with the backside of a pliers or screwdriver. Makes it nearly impossible for the knot to slip out of place then.



Simple enough?? Must not be....... Nobody does it.

Getting started on the pile of commercial equipment that was dropped off last night for service/repair. Checked out 4 blowers, 2 hedge trimmers, 1 tiller, 1 sprayer and a push mower. The only piece DOA so far is the push mower. There was nothing but grey sludge on the dipstick and it's missing the air filter and cover. Got it to run for a few seconds and she's knocking pretty good. Not worth spending any more time on in my opinion. Going to look at the pile of trimmers, chainsaws, and kombi units tomorrow evening. Got a parts list started.

I get everything close in the exhaust with a hog and then a diamond pattern carbide burr. And then 80 grit emery on a mandrel. In the transfer ports sometimes I leave a burr finish if it’s good enough. Other times I hit it with a stone or diamond afterwards. Polished surfaces get hot. A sandblasted texture would be perfect

Checked out the rest of the stuff that was dropped off Monday. Also checked out a FS94 that wouldn't start, found a clogged spark arrestor screen. Also getting a service kit, spool for the trimmer head, plug cover and screw. Talked to the owner of the push mower and he's just going to buy a new one.

[Bilge Rat]

That chain cut good?

 

[RI Chevy]

Turn that chain around. It'll run like a ported saw!!! Lol

Yup! On all 3 saws the chains were super tight too!

Hell if its been backwards for a while it might already be sharp!

 

[tickbitintn]

I picked up a saw once that the chain was so badly rocked and beaten that it actually cut better when installed backwards!!


Which still was really bad!!!!
Although still slightly better than proper orientation!

Wish I still had a picture.
