Talk about slackers..... Raining and nasty out there.. I'm in my office. I can youtube like a champ right now but I think I"ll make use of the new parts washer and the bucket of 394 that happens to be behind the seat of the truck!! Who was thinking ahead tonight???

This may be a "can of worms", but why is there such low opinion about "clam shell" style engines? Straight up, they are NOT a "Pro Grade". I get that. Their design makes tear down difficult and modification nearly impossible when compared to the custom porting that can be done on other Pro grade saws. Isn't that just a trade off for the simplistic design allowing for reduced machining and for a more economical price point? To put it simple, it is what it is!

I think of this like the Google Chrome book that I'm banging out this text on. It's a Linux based operating system with a modest processor and meager amount of main memory. It has no CD drive and if I decided to partake in online gaming, software would be limited or uncompatible with the operating system. I can not install an advanced video card like in a desktop computer or enhanced motherboard w/ new bigger CPU. Its a net(Chrome)book! It is what it is! At best I can add 1-memory module and ensure that I have a good network connection.....

I think of all these computer examples like 1) muffler mod. 2) Well tuned carb. 3) Fresh filters(air, gas & oil).

If I want a computer that I can hack & mod I'll go with a full sized desktop but for now I'm still banging away on my Chrome book.

Absolutely nothing. They actually make a pretty good saw and while ported saws are nice, more can be had in the chain than the motor. Good chain AND good motor, pure beast. For most home cutters and even a good bit of the urban commercial cutters, they couldn't see a difference. Normally a clam shell is little more bulky and a tad heavier. If they were total junk, they'd quit making them long ago.
