Ever Dreamed Of Having A Custom Saw Built?

Thanks Clemsonfor, I figured out how to do a poll. I certainly did not think you were advocating that I build a custom saw then give it away and eat the cost. I may have been born yesterday but not late last night! LOL You are correct about the 21 days extending the timeframe however I have to do this build in my spare time, customers come first.

 

Moderators, Clemsonfor kindly brought it to my attention that I may have transgressed on some site rules. Could you please check and inform me if I have. In the meantime I will suspend any further action on this thread until I have your results.

Thank you

I think Dex has seen this post? If he has I am sure your fine..pretty sure he posted to it.??

Sad as it is I dont know all the rules?

 

Don't feel bad, I don't know any of them! However being a Mod elsewhere, I have a pretty good idea of what is OK and what is not.

 

Keep going! I find this to be very interesting.

 

OK, as promised all the major components are here and I am publishing some pictures of the component choices
The first two pictures are all the major items for this build
The third picture is C/P choices OEM 50mm 372, OEM 51.4mm 372XPW, Hyway 52mm BBK and a Stihl 064 Piston that can be used in place of the BBK piston
The fourth picture is both carb intake setups that can be used Walbro 12-B or Walbro RWJ4-1 from 372 X-Torq They can be done either standard or HD mode
Fifth picture is new OEM crank and bearings
Sixth picture is New OEM 372 crankcase
The last pictures are of all the plastics that will be used all new OEM

Stay tuned for when and how this will work

Digging around today in my parts storage, I came across one additional C/P kit that I am going to add to the top end choices. It is a T Landrum Wicked Work Saw ported Meteor 50mm C/P kit, complete with DP Muffler. New never used.

This way you can choose to have you dream saw already ported when you receive it! I did not port this cylinder, I purchased it from Terry a little over a year ago and never used it. IIRC, it cost me $400 but for this build I will price it at $200!

 

I like the Xpw top end myself. I can get good gains from either oem set. Never tried a meteor but terry usually makes a good running 372.

 

TL top end is my vote!

 

I think i want to vote for the ported top end too. That guy knows what doing. Then again oem xpw top end sounds good. But meteor stuff is usually good. This is a tough one.

 

I wish I would stumble across a T Landrum ported top end that I forgot I had!!! This will be fun

 

If it were me stock XPW 74.66cc

 

Well, voting for the top end will begin soon, stay tuned! Voting will by a poll to start Sunday July 6 and run 1 week until the following Sunday July 13.
cheers

I've seen some that did but the 3 xpw I ported were a little stronger than the 50 mm top end.

 

Here are the choices for the top end on the custom built saw.

1) OEM 50mm standard C/P.
2) Meteor 50mm C/P Ported by TLandrum. If you choose this option you are also choosing for the matching TLandrum DP muffler.
3) OEM 51.4mm XPW C/P.
4) HyWay 52mm BBK with standard piston.
5) HyWay 52mm BBK with OEM Stihl 064 52mm piston.

Voting will begin tomorrow Sunday July 6 and run for 7 days.

 

Here are your choices for carburetor and intake tract.

1) Walbro 12-1(B) and standard filter setup, will use the standard filter cover.
2) Walbro 12-1(B) and HD filter setup, uses the HD filter cover.
3) Walbro RWJ-4-1 (X-Torq) with modified intake with standard filter and filter cover.
4) Walbro RWJ-4-1 (X-Torq) with modified intake with HD filter and filter cover.

Things to know, adapting the larger RWJ-4-1 (X-Torq) intake setup uses components from the 372XT, 385/390XP and carries with it some minor drawbacks. Because the carb is larger it pushes the HD filter a tiny bit to the rear, resulting in slightly crushing the top rear of the HD filter. In order to use the RWJ-4-1 the carb boot from the 385/390XP must be used, this setup does not seal the carb box as well as the standard 372XP setup. Lastly, the RWJ-4-1 requires the blue choke lever from the 372XT be used, which is slightly longer than the standard choke lever resulting in the lever protruding about a 1/16 inch further out of the saw when in the off position.

Voting on this portion will begin Sunday July 13.
