Mines got a hole straight out the front cover bout the size of a dime :monkey: Kinda loud and itll set the woods a blaze

You still have the guts in it? Where is the location of the hole in relation to the baffle?

A lot of guys cut a hole right between the bolt holes. Bypasses the baffle with no fuss.

Check YouTube

I added two poorly done videos of my WTx. "T" and I are not a good video team but at least you can see and hear it run! This may be it for now as I want to save it for our GTG.........Bob

I busted the intake on my wildthing just a few days before the west ky gtg changing the carb. I didn't get to take it and dominate the 40cc class in the cant race.

Well that gave me an excuse to go back in looking for MORE POWER!!!!!!

I had .035 squish, on a saw this small I like to get it down to .020 But the wildthing is a clamshell saw, that makes it a bit tougher. I could have a popup welded on to increase compression. I didn't much like that because the piston is plated and the heat from welding could cause it to peel off. The other option is something I've wanted to try for quite a while.

I milled .045 off the bottom of the jug/case.

Here's a shot of the boost ports I added last time I was in here.

After a heck of a setup job on the milling table I used a boring bar to raise and center the crankshaft.

I turned a .035 popup on the piston which left me .020 squish. (batteries died in my camera, I'll get a pic of it tomorrow) I ended up with an intake duration of 162° and I raised the exhaust port up to the same duration. After checking the compression I still had 160 psi!!! I only had 140 psi before I started and the exhaust was just at 145°.

More info on the progress when I get more done, hopefully I'll get a video of it in a day or two.

DAM nuts!!! Randy, you are my hero!!!! I've finally noticed someone achieve this! may not be the 1st, but the 1st i've seen...

I want to build a super 200t, or a 338-200t eater. this is the ticket. I had the idea, but NO ACCESS to real tools

Welp Jay, to be honest I just have too much time on my hands. I'm a tinkerer and enjoy doing things that a lot of guys think ain't worth the trouble.

SUPER!

I'm in the same boat as you... SOMETIMES I really should barter my time more appropriately... BUT :dunno: OH WELL!


on a side-note...this is the SAME way they perform a line-bore on a auto, (or other 4-stroke) etc motor...

good stuff!!

Just wanted to bump this thread up to the front so a fellow could find it

 

[Mastermind]

I'm glad you did. I was wondering where I had posted the info about raising the crank on my wilderthang.

 

[MechanicMatt]

Randy, how does the epoxy hold up to the heat cycles on the jug? What did you do for a career? Work at a machine shop?

The epoxy has been holding up for.......say 40 cuts. LOL

This saw doesn't have any fins on the flywheel and is just a toy. I have seen epoxy hold up on work saws in some repairs though.

I work in a small shop here at home porting and repairing saws, weedeaters, etc....

I have a mini lathe and a milling table mounted on a heavy duty 3/4" drill press to do light milling. All you really need is a good imagination to find a way to do any thing you want.

Here's a video of my wildthing. Arrowhead's is crazy fast, but this saw is impressive. I've advanced the ignition timing a couple of degrees since this one was made. It seems to help too.

[MechanicMatt]

Page 38 has ARROWHEADS piped WildThing and the pics of MASTERMINDS external transfer ports and big old Tilliston carb. I sure hope that SUBHUNTER finds this thread, After reading all the pages again (3rd time) I GOTTA FIND A WILD THING!!!!!

 

[promac850]

Oh dear... this thread is making me want to get that little WoodShark going and throwing chips...

I'd run that ##### at the edge... it'd be insanely loud, fast, and ported...

 

[MechanicMatt]

I just checked my CL and there is one on there for 75 but thats about 70 more than Id like to pay for a poulan. I gotta go buy my buddies Johny red dealership and see if he has any dead ones laying around.

Am I correct in assuming you have a 2375 and not a strato 4018?

 

[Mastermind]

I've had both. In the video above that is a 2375. The 2375 in 42cc is the one to build. I would like to find another to build mildly for limbing, they are really good saws if taken care properly.

 

[subhunter]

found it!!

Well after I got to tearing into the original WT I realized I had both the 36cc and 42cc. Both came from the same guy. 42cc is a gray craftsman. I got the green one carved up and it does run and cut but not too well. I know I went to high on the exhaust. Its at 166 duration and intake is at 162. Compression is not that great but it does sound mean if anything else... ROFL I am going to give the gray one a go next. Both these saws were in decent shape, needed fuel lines and the craftsman needs the starter pulley. If I had the means to make a pop up and get the compression higher on the little one it would run better, I think.

Boy this thread is long when you start at the begining:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[shaker223]

I always thought my WT ran pretty good. I did a single 1/2" shark gill for a muffler mod. I didn't check before this but with slight 4 stroking it has 13,160 RPM. Surprisingly it has 150psi warm in stock form.

I might have to build a pipe for it for fun.....I can build it but have no idea on how to dimension it...is there a web site or someplace that can help with the calculations? If practicle, I'd build a blow thru carb for a turbo! I can do a 4bbl holley...do you think a Holley 2300 350cfm 2bbl would work??!!?? lol:chainsawguy:lol

 

[MechanicMatt]

Shaker, you should do a search for the equation. Ive seen it on here a couple of times, I think you gotta look over in the hot saw posts. Im building one right now for another saw, its a strato saw and Im wondering how its gonna respond to the pipe. Good luck

Java Pipe software is available. Just plug in the numbers and whammo. Instant pipe. Pretty cool stuff.:msp_tongue:
