Spuds Porting and Tuning Thread

[TIMON]

I am in North Hertfordshire in the Baldock/Letchworth area, sending it in via courier is fine - one thing to make you aware is that if the saw is given to employees then please understand that their welfare and safety are your responsibility and if there is an accident.........you may find yourself with issues if the saw has been modified.

 

 

 

Most of the work I do is for guys personal saws and most find picking up a 60cc saw that cuts as fast as a 90cc saw on a similar bar has much less negative effect on the body.

 

 

 

The choice is always the owners and I do what is requested and always raise this as a point to consider.

 

 

 

Check the saw over - modifying a saw should be done on a healthy saw and isn't a way of enhancing a saw with running issues!

 

 

Thanks for this, I'll check the saw and get back to you via PM

thanks

I hope matty is reading this and shipping a delicatessen your way then! He hasn't sent the short block?

 

I now have the block, handle and an array of parts that may...or may not make a saw - thats life with Matty:sneaky2: It is OK, he is a decent guy and I am only taking the piss.....a little.

 

I will be interested to see if the saw does what it should once done:thumbup:

Have you ported any 550xps' and will the auto tune adjust enough for it? What sort of money are we talking if so

I haven't personally done a 550 to date, this 560 I have done has had a life and the top end was hanging on a wire until I worked a little magic. It has had A LOT done to it and if the auto tune handles it then I think others will follow suite.

 

The machining gets done at the weekend and the rebuild a week later - just too busy to get it done earlier.

 

Cost - PM me for a few costs if you are interested.

Will see what the outcome of the 560 is and go from there:thumbup1: A ported and tuned 560, that will be a total nutter

Need a comparison using the same bar, standard machine if possible!

 

Forgot to tell you Matty - your piston ring and circlips arrived for the attention of Miss Fxxxxx
