Hard to prime I would reckon.
Most times I pull a few times on a saw and let it sit for a while before really trying to start it for the first time.

I think so. I am paranoid of it being lean so I stripped it back down and re-sealed the cyl/case. Going to vacuum test in the morning and then test fire it. Working on the top cover now, opened a couple breather holes and started wet sanding it. I’m not going to get too crazy with the sanding, just want to clean it up a bit, then I’ll spray it with a UV resistant clear. Those breather holes (matched them on the opposite side) are going to get fine stainless steel mesh attached to the inside of the cover to filter the larger particles.

It was gonna be a "work" porting recipe then I thought naw make it spicy

Just got a 460 on my bench from someone new to me. He used to work for one of the tree guys I fix a few saws for.

Nothing wrong with the 460, runs and has good compression, he just wants me to make it run a little better, and it needs a tune up.

Just going to do plug, air filter, fuel filter and a muff mod and timing advance and see it that fits the bill.

This guy was gushing about how the 10 mm MMWS 044 I sold his former boss runs.

I also told him that I was just starting to play with porting, and that I was working on a few 046/460 projects. He said he wants one when I'm done with them. OK!!!

All I know fer sure is I went past my comfort level for a work saw, we'll see soon how "hot" it is, or isn't, as "theory" is always wonderful, right up until it's actually applied...
