ported chainsaws?

[Husqvarna King]

PORTED usually means look at me my saw is now noisy wish i had bought a husqvarna that revs fast enough

[Log-ologist]

Rather than port a saw many chainsaw users would do better to learn how to sharpen the saw well .

not many can sharpen a saw well, they could do to teach it in college - in field conditions, we had a new groundie and he started complaining that we didnt have a vice etc, we nicely explained welcome to the real world.....

i have always laughed at people who ported saws thinking that they are probably blunt or just like the sound of loud saw. however not being totally happy with the performance of my stihl 260 i removed the exhaust from my redundant 240 and gave it a go. ive drilled two 7mm holes in the end of the baffel and richened the carb so that its running a about 13500 rpm at full throtle. i have found the saw performs alot better:icon14:, but i am not happy with the increased noise:thumbsdown: i am going to experiment with the size of port to try and increase performance without overdoing the noise. i would be interested if anyone has experimented and/or achieved something that could be regarded as acceptable, or should i just repair my old 254xp?

Just use a husky - dont have to make mods to achieve 13500rpm
