Spuds Porting and Tuning Thread

So, this simple mod can increase saw power. Is it worth doing on all saws?

[Stubby]

Yep but mostly on pro saws . One of the benefits is that it will run cooler as the exhaust is getting away faster .

Don't forget to tell them that it will make your ears bleed from the noise.

So is it good practice to idle a hot saw so it can cool down a little before switching off .

Heat soak and all that?

Sure mine runs hotter after porting and a good muffin.

Dont know how it would benefit from leaving it to idle . I just switch it off when I have finished with it . I am pretty sure ported saws run cooler than stock though . Everything is working more efficiently .

That only works for water cooled engines.

I presumed the airflow would help

Old saws don't gain much due to their mufflers being more open than the restricted modern ones.

but you are still burning fuel and making heat .
