Porting an MS200t

I have been looking in old threads and on other forums and there seems to be a lot of mention of ported this and ported that saws. But I cannot seem to find a guide on how to actually do the porting...

I have recently bought a new ms200t and was looking at having a go at modding my old saw. I have searched the net for guides but again it just links to threads on various forums...

Does anyone have any advice on how to port an ms200t or know of a website that describes the process?

or am I best leaving it to someone who knows more about it?

any advice or pointers mucho appreciated.

cheers.

Hmmmm

Giving a top handled saw an excessive amount of power? Nice project but,.......Are you certain you want to do that, what with PUWER and all.

I think its a good idea. I have an old one that I want to do.

All mine are done. They fairly crackle now:thumbup1:

Its easy enough to do, I'll take some pics of mine tomorrow.

if you think its worth porting a 200t why consider buying smaller cheaper with less power than a non ported 200t:thumbdown:

That would be cool.

Horses for courses.

My guys are going to be doing loads of small pruning works. The little saws will be ideal. For the kind of large takedowns I often do, the ported 200 is jus about powerfull enough.

Now I am a fan of mucking about with engines and aside from taking the saw out of PUWER my modifying it, doing it to an old saw is like giving your granny a pair of running shoes. She will do it but not for long.

Not strictly true. Ported saws last longer, as they run cooler.

So revving it’s warangas off and producing a shed load of torque dosen’t do them any harm then?
