Man you are so correct as far as different styles of porting for different people. I have found things that work for me finally but its different than some other guys ive seen that works for them. Lots of things seem to be better than stock but they all run differently. Love the work you are doing and thanks for the videos
I love those colors together😍 so wrong it's right! You'll get the plastics figured out. I think anyone who's done much painting, especially with plastics that says they've never had issues, is full of it!
One of these days it would be really cool to see a dirty shop tour. It'll take a lot of fortitude to be able to let people see into your life, and you may have to hide a few things.
I've got two 3.7ci craftsman poulans. I removed the base gasket, and cleaned the ports up on both of them over the summer. It helped both of them, but one in particular went full on power house screamer compared to what it was. I didn't look at numbers, I just played it by ear.
I find that quality control must have taken lots of smoke breaks with these old Poulans. The seem to have considerable variations from the factory. This one here had a recipe that would have it screaming to the moon out the exhaust, but couldn't do that because it was starving for fuel on the intake side. I'm surprised it ran as good as it did.
@@novicelumberjack The one good thing about them is that all the ones I've had, and messed with were reliable as a hammer. I've had a couple of them that the compression was low enough that they were hard to start.
Lower RPM torque saws from that era (late 70-80’s) 16:1 mixes with poor oils And 30 weight non detergent oil These saws ran higher temperatures on average. But more oil more compression = more power Try 20:1 with a TB or TC oil With a carb made for that design Different gas then too Play with the H jet and it will surprise you the torque FD oils probably glaze cylinder at 20:1 then no compression
Great job mate I think the best thing about our chainsaw hobby is we all have our favourite but still appreciate a great running saw.. see I love my husky 371s and my 394 but also love my stihl 660 and 038 magnum..
Use a really good quality touch up automotive paint and piece by piece put one or 2 coats on each piece to be painted that's the only I've found to make a real good color match
Great blow down explanation everyone does things differently. I keep trying to push for optimal flow if you leave your intake at stock then flow velocity threw the case, transfers, chamber and exhaust will be different then someone’s wide open intake. That hot lime is pretty close. P.s. love the rambling
Where the problem is with porting styles is people in the comments saying so and so does this and you say that so you must be wrong. I look at it like this.... did the saw gain power? Yes...no.... if it gains power I don’t care why or how. I know what works for me. And I have done it both ways. I have better luck with my porting style with shorter blowdown. I know plenty of great builders that have good results with longer blowdowns. If it all works well together great. Just don’t tell me I’m wrong because I’ll prove you wrong 😁
This is one reason you're such a great builder. You take away the emotion attached and just go on evidence. Now learn how to make power with long blowdown. When you do that, figure out how to conquer the next thing that people tell you is wrong or can't be done. This is how masters are made.
@@mattfleming86 but thank you. I do still consider myself having a lot more to learn. Never say you know everything. I have no experience building race saws so that’s on my list to learn
Great color combo.

It is what it is
Always something new great info man
I had metal cases crow foot because I didn't wash the case after applying brake cleaner.
Craftsman takes home the trophy and the crowd goes wild. Cool fun.
Man I can't wait to see that Craftsman
That redmax is a beauty
That pain job would look pretty wicked if the raised parts were a different color.
What color would you suggest? I was planning on having purple hydro-diped carbon fiber.
@@novicelumberjack Something that really clashes with that purple, neon yellow maybe. Make it look like lightning.
Thunder kitten 😺 👁️👁️ me the way to finding the part's for my saws 👍👍👍👍 day my friend
Yeah...I just picked up a no compression Craftsman for free..
Lookn for a kit to pump it up into the 50cc range....anyone have a suggestion?
Just search "x model big bore"

U can get kawasaki green paint are grabber green engine paint would b a really close match are the same for the saw case
What you use to cut the squish? Lathe?

Welcome back Boedy
👍 sucks the paint wrinkled. Lot of work….looks good.
Please make a shirt that say " there just garden tools who cares " with a picture of a hot saw on it lmao

Exited to see what you do with that Redmax! I’m slowly getting my 545 Mk II broke in and it’s really impressing me
👍 Big Guy
Get some air craft remover and start over. That shit is bad ass
That craftsman 3.3 that Brennan is working on is gonna be a badass sleeper saw🤙🏻😎
Sweeet
And yep I’ve been told that swapping some electronics and carb wakes em up

@@mattfleming86 i can make them run with long blowdown. I never said I couldn’t
@@mattfleming86 long blowdown is easy. Short is hard

Sounds like you have a solid plan on that saw 😁
Fingers crossed 🤞
@@novicelumberjack woohoo!
High velocity projectile vomit 🤮...lol
