at this point all forward progress has to stop. I can fix this with epoxy. but it is up to the saw owner as to what he wants to do.

epoxy fix, port a new cylinder, or send the whole thing back to the other porter.

I talked to the saw owner about what he used for oil, ratio, fuel. how he liked the saw when it ran, things like that.

stihl white bottle, 50;1. he liked the saw but it never idled right. said it only lasted about 50 hrs.

I don't think he retuned it when he got. my first thought was bad tune or air leak and it's lean scored.
Ya cant fix stupid!

Most peeps dont know how,,,, lean mix , lean scream!
They have no bussiness running a hotrodded saw.
You and Scott kno a 100 times more than I do, butt I kno to run rich wiff gud erl and I run fat wiff clean air filters.. Thats 50 times more knowledge than the average joe...

I have one thing to say to most unknowing peeps who own or run saws. . .:ciappa:

Some people think 50 hours.....and it's really more like 5.
If I have logs laid out to buck, and I run either of my 288's fer 5 hrs,
I have 15 cords of wood to split.
Bucked wif my hotrodded 288 sun for 12 min. ended up w/2 p/u truck loads of 20" locust..

I just looked at the pics and all I saw was a pic of the intake port where it looks like the wear lines are inside the intake port window. As in ported too wide for skirt coverage.

Unless your a logger it would take many many years for your average wood hack to put 50 hours on a saw.

I was always under the impression that it took a lot longer to cut a tree into 40 18" pieces than it did to cut it into 3 20' pieces. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

And this gentlemen is why I want an all M-tronic or Auto Tune stable. I don't want to firetruck up someone else's awesome work.

Most firewood cutters don't cut firewood all day most everyday,a pickup truck load can be cut on a tank or 2 of gas but most loggers here burn a couple gallons everyday.
Yes cutting one tree into firewood takes a little longer than falling and topping one.

If a logger gets 2 years out of a pro 90cc saw then most wood cutters should get a lifetime out of it.
