Its not personal either. Really! Im just disappointed. . All the "saw porters" on as on the east coast seem to build slow saws. I know why too. The client base is uneducated.. example;
Out west, jim runs a 66 and an 84, hes a 3rd gen OG faller, he knows a lot!
In NC Ed runs the same saws, but the biggest thing he has ever cut is a 4' red oak about 110 feet tall and that was in his friends back yard.
Now jim has saws that would make ed soil himself, ed has saws that ed thinks are badass. Unfortunately ed & jim will never meet so ed will go on thinking his saws are strong. And to reinforce eds thoughts, many dozens of his friends agree with him..
I believe this is a case of a big ed market. There are no jims to step out and call BS..
So "KID" are you disappointed that you don't have the mastermind of monkey or just plain ignorant about porting a 2cycle . As with most porters, they have step levels they gauge themselves by allowing the customer a choice and being most here are weekend warriors and some live by the chain, you need some restraint to saw mods or life expectancy could be cut short costing more in the long run to maintain. Since you've been so bold in slamming the porters on AS,lets here about your porting accomplishments and any knowledge you might be willing to pass along to assist some members who are the week-end DIY's like Randy,Brad,etc,etc have done to help.
