34F burning ponderosa pine
20 inch bar, on a 500I ?? Did you change to 8 pin sprocket? I bet that thing is like a laserbeam with a 20 on it. And yes get it ported and the...
For some reason i like the EFCO saws in JD green. The 65cc model is said to be a desireable saw. Meebe others too, ive never ran an EFCO saw.
Ive ran a ported 500I, it was thirsty.

A friend uses a husky 440 for his SXS/ camp saw. Its been reliable in that role for a few years. He's not one to go crazy with PM on a chainsaw...

Some great info here. I have 3 of the 266 saws. 2 runners and 1 thats locked up. The non runner is in almost perfect cosmetic cond.
Seems to not be alot of love for the 490. However they are a dependable saw. I used mine to cut up 2 dumptruck loads of 8 to 12 foot pine logs,...
I used to have a 272xp that had this issue. Replaced everything to do with the tensioner, and the bar studs. Problem solved.
I have a 490. I re tuned the carb. To lean from the factory.
I live in Oregon and its been a few chilly nights here lately. I did a 3 hour burn this morning with splitter trash and lodgepole.
