Woods Port??????

A good woods ports allows Stihls of the same class compete with stock Huskies.

 

Wiggs porting on stretch pay is $599.9o? Is it pop up or squish cut?

 

Are you in the band camp at TardBoratSite?

 

Sitting in N.C. Visiting wife's family... :/

 

$0.59...while supplies last. Limit of 1/3 per customer...

It's a cut squish pop.

 

What is this "band camp" you speak of? Is this a place where one learns to play musical instruments and march around on a field?

 

So who's going to be first to put 2 piece heads standard on woods port saws?

 

Already seen them Mike. Guys are doing it out west for years now.

Wouldnt know why you would want to on a work saw. But hey its their toy they can do what they want.

 

I know Phil does and a couple others out west. But they're not on the Internet so they must not be any good

 

Lots of positives come from a two peace in a everyday cutter if done correctly, unless you have the proper tooling to reshape the combustion chamber after cutting the squish band there "can" be some negatives as I'm sure your aware of.
With a two peace you can control the burn , detonation , heat , ect.. Totally .
Not sold that the performance gains are worth the extra cost but if done rite the life expectancy ( wear and tear)could off set the cost in the long run.
I've have done a few and they are holding in there very well are they faster ??? Do they run freer (happier) YES !
Plus it eliminates base ears getting to thin

 

Uh, no. But I will leave it to you to figure it out with your Husqvarna superiority complex.

 

Kind of a contradiction to have a bolt on head for a wood runner, isn't it? Seems more like a weekend warrior firewood cutter theme to me, or a race saw. I have never seen seriously ported saws being run by loggers or in arbor service here. Most pro fallers buy them and run them stock for a year, and then get another one for another year, and so on. Tree service guys run them until they die. The guys on the logging show circuit run all kinds of modified saws, including 2 man V-8 engine driven saws, bike engine saws, and piped hot saws. They would have bolt on heads and all kinds of other modifications.

On this note I have heard complaints from loggers and fallers up north saying that ported saws do not last long, more typically half the life of a stock saw. So many do not modify them. Also above board shops cannot work on any EPA modified saws without restoring them to original condition by law, so larger logging and arbor companies with a lot of saws will not modify them because they get them worked on by local dealers.

 

Lol...

Priceless!!!!

 

I know 2 cutters in Southeast Alaska running 390s with 2 piece heads and 36-54" bars. They get a season out of them or 9 months. That's good enough for them and it's sold to a firewood cutter or kept as back up and a new one is bought.

 

I've got a head started for a 660 to try to lower the compression after cutting the crap out of the base and chamber to get the exhaust lower. The thin bases on some of the 044/046 series make me wonder since a few people have had them crack.

 

Hmm.... I like to think of myself as just having an incredible grasp of the obvious.

I see in your signature, "6 cords of wood stacked an split". Commendable.

 

I see that the dark side of the force is very strong in you. Except for your 028.

6 cords is nothing on this site. Actually I have been slacking lately and I need to haul 2 or 3 more cords here for the lemesee... the 17/18 heating season. Scotty has a commendable amount of wood stashed. Overkill is needed when it comes to firewood. We had a mild winter here with little snow this year, so next winter here will likely be cold as a witch's left teat and the snow piled high and deep.

 

I cut some for exercise in the Winter as there is nothing else to do in the God forsaken State. This was all since last November.











The 028 Super was my first saw bought in 1990. Had it totally gone through, everything rubber replaced, new piston and ported. Runs very strong to this day.

 

firewood bandit, those are some stacks! wow.. I think we need a little discussion on definitions, as you call that

I get man of few words thing but that's impressive
