Question about Woods Porting?

[chopperfreak2k1]

I'm not necessarily asking that you post pictures of their work. Like I said, I appreciate you not trying to come on here and smear their name. But you and I both know the saw is virtually unmodded. At this point in this discussion, I think some facts are in order. The intake is untouched. I couldn't tell for sure, but the exhaust didn't look widened at all either. It looked like, perhaps, they raised the exhaust. That would be a bad move on a saw that is already compression challenged. Again, I'm not sure they touched the exhaust at all. The transfers were untouched as well. The only thing I could confirm was that they sharpened the transfer divider. It is not at all what I would call a ported saw. Therefore, our original assertations that you can't get a woods port for $90, is correct.

did you get to look at it Brad?

Motorcycles engines??? You must not have looked through the pics very much....Jet Skis and Snowmobiles.... A 2 stroke is a two stroke, those motors have more ports, triple exhaust ports boost ports, extra transfers. Take a look at their pics and then come back and tell me a Chainsaw is more extensive work, especially what these thread was about... A woods Port. No boost ports no triple exhaust ports. I would think a chainsaw is on the easier side of the spectrum.


Here is some pics found on their site.

If you read what they did for the $120 it did not seem like much. Just said they matched the intake and exhaust.


So Frank what did you pay copesy to do that 7900 of yours?

Sounds like he did? We want to know.

We do?

 

[Mastermind]

We do?

Well I do.

 

[Metals406]

Well I do.

Seems to me, whether or not these D&D guys port saws or not, doesn't really effect anyone here at all.

I can say I port saws with sharpened rabbit turds and it's of no consequence to anyone. . . Everyone will still be able to go to work, breath air, play with their kids, drive their cars.

This thread is a mountain-mole-hill thing no?

I say more power to D&D! In these tough economic times, why would I begrudge anyone a living?

Nothing good ever comes from threads that make these turns. . . There have already been bannings.

Best thing that could happen here is a locked thread, that will slip into the deep vaults of AS.

This has been about as bad as the 660 vs 390 thread from last year.

I have to admit you are dead right!!! I'm out of this thread for good.

He sent me pictures of his cylinder. I chose not to work on it. The way I see it, nothing good can come of this.

I'm fully aware of what a 2 stroke motorcycle looks like internally with their extensive porting. Using a 2 stroke motorcrosser for example, even though there is the possability for improvement they are close to the mark from the factory, way more so than a chainsaw. Well I've come back to tell you that a chainsaw needs more extensive work to get to the level of your jet ski's motorcycles etc.

Now, you try and tell me those pictures are of a $160 port job? Yeah right!

Awesome Dude, I really don't care either way. I will pay 250.00 for a port job I have no problems with that. But it better run a **** ton better than a stock saw. I'd feel better about a 90.00 port job with 15% gains than a 250.00 port job with 20% gains

Yeah for sure, I agree and not high expectations.

OK,,how about TWO $90 port jobs for %30 gain for $180 ??

Your a cheeky bugger Ron!

 

[teatersroad]

Since when does what you pay have to do with the quality of the work? In any situation? It might relate to what you expect, but it does not excuse you from being prudent.

 

[roncoinc]

LOL !! just trying to add a little levity to the situation..

some personal expectations and opinions are being put forth on this subject.
a lot of them , on either side are well founded in principle also..

I think an interesting thread....................... over all.............
all things considered........................... your milage may vary...........
the opinion posted may not necessarily be that of the poster..

I think they are saying the ammount spent is in direct coralation to the ammount received. In most cases that is.

 

[AUSSIE1]

There is nothing wrong to ask what work is provided for $90, or the need to get defensive about it. If there is an issue, so be it.

 

[gink595]

if you read what they did for the $120 it did not seem like much. Just said they matched the intake and exhaust.


So frank what did you pay copesy to do that 7900 of yours?

80.00, it would have ben 120.00 but the a clutch shoe broke when testing and took out the oiler and he wouldn't let me pay to repair it.

Well, you can't blame the bannings on this thread, they can however be blamed on the person himself. You have to take responsibility for oneself.

$80?? Seriously? I almost find that hard to believe, unless your good at favors.:monkey:
