Don't listen to him, I counted at least 7 whole cuts. It's time to rebuild anyways... :msp_sneaky:

Same fugly bar, and the same issue with the propotions - the good thing is that it makes you appear really tall and slim!
I do so many new saws that's not really something I think about Andre. It can break in after it's hopped up.
I hear you, but I've seen saws gain quite a bit after break in. IMHO if you port a saw before it's nice and loose you really don't know what you have after porting. I know, I know it's not easy to run 5 gallons through a saw.:msp_smile: The 550 you have looks like a total dog, I just think running it would do wonders, but I could be full of ####, it wouldn't be the first time.

I tried a couple of times already today (yesterday here), but no-go. - but you reminded me I likely have a couple of "new" bullets by now - will try again! :yoyo:

Like the times we ran till broken in and realized the gains, then a simple muffler mod, ran it, them check squish, perhaps pull the cylinder gasket, run it..etc....
This out of the box and modding it.....what is it being compared to an 029?
im not full of crap for I just spend 7 minutes on the toilet making room, but I have been wrong before....according to the wife many times..........

I would like to run it awhile before porting.....I have three trees down behind the shop......that will have to do. :msp_mellow:
No need in giving me any rep.......I topped out a month or more ago.

But who knows what will happen when the software changes to 64-bit.....
Anyway, I still couldn't hit you, but hit a couple of other posters here!
Hey Randy, would you mind modding just the muffler and sticking it back in that log? With what porting didn't do for mine, I really want to know how much the MM did. BTW, I've been in the garage the last couple of hours working on the carb on mine. It's back up and running with quite a bit larger venturi It's much too late to make any cuts with it though. It does at least run though.
I found something of interest while I had my carb apart. There's a needle in the face of the carb. Once you remove the filter adapter, it's right there on the left. It's sealed with a small o-ring and is about 1 turn out. I'd sure love to know what it does!
BTW, the exhaust on mine is still at 106°. As low as compression is on these, I'm thinking a squish band mod is in order.
