This is getting more interesting. Who ever thought that a wolly world wild thing would be so popular.

So who's going to be the first to put a pipe on a Wild Thing

Anyone have the PN for the compression ring on a 4018? Also need the PN for the circlip that holds the clutch drum on.

And that right there is what's so fun and hillarious about this
What's surprising how strong they actually run. Seriously!We had a good time this evening running three of these. One was a traditionally ported 2375, and the other two were stratofied 4018s. Andre's 2375 ran the best of the bunch. Not only was it the strongest, but it has the best throttle response. It's instantanious, not unlike a 346, lol.
I also owe a huge thank you to Mike for a replacement P&C for my wounded ones.
Thanks to Nik for some more good grub off the grill.

You guys are just wrong stuffing a 346 inside of those saws
lolNever thought I would type this but they do look to be running pretty strong

Maybe the folks who market these little wonders (and they're yellow and black brothers from another mother) should attend the same training.:monkey:

I don't know about that, but like I said, they're not bad little saws and they honestly make good power for 40cc.

Hey Brad, what kind of chain are you running on those? 3/8 low-pro like the came with or .325? Those things rip! Nice work guys.

I've got a few Wild Things if anyone needs one for the races.
I've got lopro on mine. It's a yellow Stihl chain, don't remember the model. It has no safety humps. I did a fair amount of chain testing when I modded the Dolmar 420. Good lopro is just as fast on these little biggers as .325 chisel chain.

This is a blast!!!
I haven't had this much fun since the wasps run my aunt out of the outhouse!!!
It's got to be in the top 5% of fun to be had for $$$ spent.
I have known for a couple of years now that these saws were the victim of a lot of bad press, caused in large part by bad, or just unknowledgeable, owners.
But FOR WHAT THEY ARE and the price point they were designed and built to meet they are truly a decent little saw.
They won't hold up to everyday use, or even heavy firewood cutting for any extended period, but they are a hundred bucks BRAND NEW!
When this racing season is over I'm gonna try to put a Wildthing engine into some Husky chassis (that has even a modicum of A.V.) and see how it does.
Anybody got any ideas or a junk parts saw they would like to contribute cheap???

not as fast as .325 square tho, huh?
It's no different than porting any other saw. All the same principles and techniques apply.
OK, Here is my feeble entry into this "Have fun Party"
Its a 2375 WT, 2000 vintage, non-strto. It won't hang with some of these "hot" WT's you guys been comming up with, but it does run & cut wood. Even with a rough looking P/C. Guess it wouldn't be a Wild Thing, if it didn't have a bad P/C.
I put a 16" bar on it, and some Woodland Pro LP chain.
Here is a video of it, with the bar pretty much burried in some oak.
