ported chainsaws?

[bob]

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?

 

repair your 254 and learn to sharpen best advice to you or give me your old 254 and i will put it to good use

If the current husky range even came close to there old saws i'd still use them. I still love my 288xp also. Rips cutting firewood with an 18in bar:icon14:

 

Husky saws are/were great for working in the woods, but for climbing, the smooth power delivery and torque from a stihl is what i want

Tosh how much do you use saws other than 200Ts up the tree rather than on the ground

and if its torque and power you want that a stihl gives you WHY do you need to port them:bongsmi::bongsmi:
