What's on your bench?

CONGRATS!

Once he gets a good job lined up tell him he owes you 18 years back rent.

And then some. Lol

The food bill alone from a teenager would be staggering! I swear mine has hollow legs.

And then some. Lol

Air filter, shroud and top handle are AM. He’s aware of that. They actually fit really well I didn’t have to “manipulate” them to install. I did my best to clean up the fuel tank/rear handle. I didn’t look that dingy until I put the brand new clutch cover on.....

I took this 361 in on trade last week. Muffler had rattled apart and had sucked up a small piece into the combustion chamber. Luckily nothing’s hurt. Had a regular customer look at it Saturday and say oh I need to get my dad something for his birthday, he needs a new saw. Sure when is your dads birthday?........”Next Saturday “. Last of the parts showed up yesterday. My son graduated college yesterday so here goes...

Guy was showing these new test bars off in the chainsaw repair group yesterday.

 

[MustangMike]

Nice looking bar, what are the details? Is it a light weight?

 

[MustangMike]

Got the re ported Asian 440 Big Bore running this morning and put it in some wood.

Feels good so far, but will have to play with it some more to know where it really stands, but I can tell you now it is a lot better than it was.

I was worried that widening and flattening the intake would diminish throttle response, but I did not notice any loss of response at all.

 

[MustangMike]

I also put an OEM vibration dampener in the upper left … what a difference!

Here is the thread.

Not sure how much useful info is in it.

I wonder if Cannon decided to go with the skinnier insert? The last few pics posted of the bars actually in use being tested are of the skinnier one.

Hard to tell on page 3 of that link I posted it had a pic of both with a caption saying in final testing.

Who knows. But what ever they do they better make a lot of them.

Whether it’s the skinny insert or the larger one, it still looks to have more area than a Tsumura or Sugi.

There's a long-time porter up in BC who swears that the upper transfers on a quad-port saw should be left alone - that looks like one of his saws. I ran one, it wasn't too bad.

 

[jacob j.]

Does this look right? It's for a 576. The old one was flush I thought View attachment 180521 View attachment 180522 View attachment 180523 View attachment 180524

Yeah, you need to get that seal flush. Here's what one of them looks like new out of the package:

3 more came in!View attachment 180930

That's the kind of shipment I wouldn't mind getting in.

What about lower trans? Those weren’t touched either

It looks like they were tickled a little bit but not enough to really do anything. The work I saw on a 385 from the individual I'm thinking of looked identical.

Look at Walkers stuff, you don’t usually see a lot of porting. But his saws still run good

I've had in the neighborhood of about 16 or so Walkerized saws - 394s, 066s, 372s, 440, 460.

Some were good, some were not so good. The one thing he was doing at the time that really bothered me was dropping the lower transfers
all the way to the bottom of the cylinder, regardless of the model. This works ok on some saws and not so good on some others. The best
runner of his I ever had was a 394 - it had the "dual pipes" muffler with the stock outlet completely closed over, WJ-39 carb, and moderate
exhaust timing.

Another issue I've had with his shop is inconsistency. I had two Walkerized 066s one time and the porting between the two was completely
different. It was almost as if two different people ported the saws with different recipes (which is likely what happened).

My uncle has a 64 with a 66 jug on it from them. It runs really good, I talked him into letting me pull the jug one day. No porting at all.

That sounds like a Madsen's "Power Tuned" deal to me. I've had five of the power-tuned saws and all they had going on inside were some simple mods to the piston.
