So, you sell the ported saw & keep the stock one? ;)
Right? This model can't be old enough to need a new cylinder?
550xp is a very nice saw!
I'd just run that chain. Cutter don't 'really' need to be same size/length as long as both sides are sharp.
Good Saw!!!
Husky 365 Extra Special to Hedgerow. At least it went to a good home!
I'd sure like to run a 6100, might want to get one.
The injectors needed cleaning, that's what the seafoam did. At only 85,000 miles your plugs didn't need changing just yet. Seafoam is good stuff,...
We don't, but a lot of folks do. He got me...:)
Thanks man! Confusion is not a bad thing...
.058. I only have a couple bars in .050 & and dozen or so in .058.
Cool!
Got 4 of of these speed tips for $25 a piece. [IMG]
I bought the Sugis back when they were under $50 & the speed tip was less than $40. But yes, top shelf bars. :)
First one I ported, hack job, but it's a mean little beast.
Hard to beat a 562 for all around saw, but the one in the second photo sees a lot more use & the third even more. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
I do not need a chainsaw often, but when I do, a 18" gas powered saw is what I chose... Stay thirsty my friends..
Porting has not been shown to negatively effect saw longevity. Most every internal combustion engine can be modified to make more power. So why...
Why is porting necessary? Short answer; No it's not necessary. Is this a trick question?
Cool thread...
