I understand why the guys that port saws charge what they do!! VERY time consuming!! I have no video because I have no wood to cut at the house. Hopefully I can grab some tomorrow to make a video with. I cut some little logs (8") and it seemed rich still at 14,400, didn't really clean out. I think it just needs to have more load on it though.

14,400 is prettly low for a ported 372. You probably need to lean it out. You'll know once you get it to work though. Just lean it out until it's all 2-stroke and then bring it back until a little 4-stroke returns. You'll probably find that closer to 15K.
 
Finally got me some wood tonight :D, some Sycamore. Put the 24" bar from my 288 on it with some round ground LGX chain and cut some cookies...

Yes, I need to have a look at the kill switch, but I'm pretty happy with the results...
 
It's sounding real good Mike. Any idea what it was tuned to in the vid?

No idea on the rpm, does it sound right to you? I did not put the extra exhaust port like so many do and that might be hurting it, but I'm OK with that. I just checked the compression again and it is climbing a bit, looks to be around 172psi. now. It will not get any real run time till this fall, too damn hot out now. I'm gonna try an 8 pin on it tomorrow that I just bought...

You still have my address right? You need to send that thing back where you got it.....

Does rburg live with you now??? I thought he lived in Tennessee....

Looks real nice. My muffler on my 371 has no extra outlet either, just the spark screen is gone, I thought about modding it today though to see what happens.
 
I figured I would give the saw a run with an 8 pin rim....

I think it does pretty good with the 8 pin, what do you say??
 
The more I look at the 2 videos, I think it is slower with the 8 pin. The rpms are staying up, so what gives???
