Perty
Hey maybe the other porters are faster Will because they don't drink 12 beers while porting?

Hmm, possible? Actually don't even have any beer on hand right now. What the hell is wrong with me. Maybe its because I don't have beer!

No, it wont be done by then. I'm sort a few parts for this saw, so I have to order them. Need the rubber carb mount, chain brake lever, and no handlebar.

Great stuff Will.

I agree on the porting time. I can spend a day on a cyl and piston. You could do the basics pretty quickly, but the detail is what can take some time.

Exactly, getting everything roughed in isn't too bad at all, and I'm sure some people just leave it there, and will make a great runner, I just like to take a little more time and get it exactly where I want it, go through the numbers again. I spend an evenning doing the machine work. Then the next few days sorting the port work, then going over it again to make sure, then assembly, then running in, then testing/tuning. I mean I do it because I like it, but it would never work trying to make cash for me, because I don't like being pressured at all.

I'm the same way it takes me at least two days of grinding and polishing, that's not including setup and testing.

I just had this dicussion with another member here a few days ago, and I do believe you are probably right on the mark here! I'm just not convinced the craftsmanship of a "custom build" can be accomplished in a couple of evenings after work.
Just my .02, and add that to a buck & a 1/2 & you still wouldn't get a "large double-double" and doughnut at Timmies :biggrin:

Yup, thanks Andy! Usually it actually take me a week to two weeks depending on what else I got going on. I actually don't do much polishing, you can get it pretty smooth with good cutters, the last couple saws I did no polishing, just smooth for flow, and make really sure everything is very even.

Good to hear!

when i do a port job on a saw i can go start to finish from tear down to testing in 6-8 hrs. you can add to that if im not happy with it and go back in it. i dont like to do a port job stretched out over days . i feel like when i can give it full attention from start to finish the job will get done correctly without mistakes or having to redo things. thats why i dont take on a lot of port work. it just hard for me to set aside a full day to do the job. i can make several times more money at work in 8 hrs than staying in the shop all day.

Understandable Terry, everyone has their own way. I'm probably pretty close to you in time as well, just spread out over days.

Will Thank's for posting the pic's of the windowed piston.

No worries! Your welcome.

Looks great Will. You do fantastic work my friend.

On the time of a port job. There is no doubt that it takes time to do a good slick job. Having done a bunch now I've gotten faster on setup, checking port timing, teardown, assembly, etc... Being organized helps more than anything. Myself and another man work in my shop 8-10 hours a day 5-6 days a week, so having a place for everything is key.

I split the case on a 026 this morning, in 5 hours it was completely rebuilt and woods ported.

Thanks Randy.

That's a speedy job.

There is no dought I could do it faster. I'm sure if it set down to it, and worked all day I could do it. Starting and stoping takes extra time as well.

.

He really does,,, the 460 he ported for the build off is still getting stronger,, and the week after I got back one of the tree guys we grind stumps for was needing a saw so I stuck it in his hands and told him to try it and run it like he stole it,,,,,

saw him the next week and he's wanting to buy it already!!!!!

Ya the family takes allot of time.

Good to hear the 460 is going good.

Finally got back to this. Got the cylinder done tonight. Waiting on some parts from Chainsawr for it. But can start reassembling it now.

That looks very good, Will.
