It appears to be twice as fast.

(yeah, you would have probably found o8f150's brother with a shipping container of these saws, loading up UPS trucks and laughing his butt off. . . )

now,, back to the shop
the first one was brand new,, never fueled, carb was waaaayyy rich even after mm
2nd one the base gasket wasn't even close to being centered,, carb was rich and was run very little
3rd one the cylinder bolts where finger tight,, maybe 5 minutes of run time,,
ok,, back to the shop,, i have one more to do,, i might take a few pics so randy can stop crying

Ok that was the first 3 what about the other 273 Earthquakes

ok randy,, i hope you are freaking happy,, heres your pics

these are before and after pics of the carb and exhaust port,, i just widened it,, the muffler,, since i am not rich like a lot of you midgets i don't have a way to heat the muffler up to take it apart so i just gutted most of it and made the inner plate like swiss cheese,, hey it works

i decided to go with a 12" b/c,, now remember it is a new chain and it had been raining all day long so the log is real wet,, it would do a lot better if everything was dry,, but not to bad though

did you manage to pull the cat out of it?

don't need to the way i drilled it,, its almost a straight shot out

 

[joesmith]

don't need to the way i drilled it,, its almost a straight shot out

That is the best way to do it...fastest anyway!

This is one of those threads that you end up unsubscribing to because it keeps showing up, with nothing interesting to offer.

essentially bypassing the cat? I did something similar (long 1/8" carbide burr/Dremel rather than drill) to my neighbor's Crapsman last week...I actually cut out a little too much and had to fab a little cover over the hole
after that it ran great, well, after 15min of swearing at it trying to tune the damn ZAMA carb :bang:

I didn't feel like cutting it apart and re-welding it like I did the EQ ...lazy

heck, just the MM I did made this thing worth cutting with...or selling to a friend who just wants a little saw.

what size burrs do you guys use for porting these things?
