boredom struck...

[warriorgirl09]

Ok so i use wood heat in my house and my chain saws where under the weather (1984 pioneer partner 5000 needed rings and carb rebuild orderd today for $20) and i cheap ass 1995 model poulan. well i already had parts for it (ring and bar/chain) so i got it broke down and first thing i noticed was TINY ASS PORTS so i figured i needed to fix that. it recived a full port and polish today hehe.

ok this is what both intake and exhaust ports looked like before i started:

intake after!

Exhaust after!

and the whole motor:

good god thing runs like a damn bat outta hell!

[warriorgirl09]

like i said! i was bored with nothing better to do

I would say you were bored, might be a thing for ya, do port jobs on chain saws for side jobs. I wondered about this on my weed eater and blower to make run faster and get some power out of them but thought it would make it worse.

 

[warriorgirl09]

i was thinking about it. sure cranks and idles a hella lot better! more powa too

I might give a try one of these days I have a old poulan blower thats in parts in the garage thats identical to our craftsman blower and see what I will do before going at it on a working machine. What did you use a dremal or die grinder.

 

[warriorgirl09]

dremal and a alum cutting bit

well the saw new choked down with a perfectly sharp new chain (14in saw) now i have a 18" bar and chain with filed drag links... thing eats! lol i wouldn't have dreamed you could gat that much power outta cheap ass poulan. bad part... goes through a tank of gas in about 20 min

 

[dirtrider73068]

Damn that thing is monster, but still in 20 min you should be able to cut alot of wood. I still never woudl have thought this would have worked. Maybe the next one do a small port job on it till you find that sweet spot but still keep gas useage down.

i was out for power haha. i still got my stock 24" saw for normal wood cuttin. i'mma find me a used stihl ms660 or 066 and do a big bore kit + mild port and polish on. i love chain saws lol

 

[dirtrider73068]

If you like saws look in a northern tool catalog, the have a chain saw thats 108cc and will accept up to a 72" bar!!!! And they have some that have chains that will cut concrete.

 

[warriorgirl09]

i know the 066 and ms660 pull 59" bars stock. i think whith a big bore and port/polish and can get a 72"er on there np

I love this kind of stuff too, the weird tools or even bigger weird tools, the big machinery it takes to do job, I love it.
