  1. Did i just hear an inane twittering from the corner making his usual negative and doomfull posting to further his pious self importance? Oh sorry Tim you posted?
  2. You deffinatley do. Otherwise the saw will run lean and cause terminal damage. I should have said that the goal of porting is not to increase the RPM's but to increase the torque. I'm no saw builder or mech and was helped through my porting projects by someone with many years experiance.
  3. I have no idea on the implications with regards to PUWER I ported my saws to allow me to run larger bars on my saws with better performance. Hence lighter saw used- less effort and less fatigue. It is one of the things about dismantling trees- the later in the day it gets the bigger the saw you hang from your harness

    bad news

    Devastating news. My heart goes out to all his family friends and those who knew him.
  5. it's a fluffer for your saw- helps it rise to it's full potential:001_tt1:
  6. There is no increase in rpms- the increase is in torque. As for damage, the extra heat produced by restricted gas flow would surley do more damage? For the record Stihl produce dual port mufflers for a large proportion of there saws for the US and AUS market
  7. I ported my old saw- then my new one, then every saw i have.

    I rest my case:001_cool:
  9. last time i lend you owt- bet you scuffed the heels driving the truck in them too before you gave them to her
  10. There not his AND I still want the back Ed- you better not have trashed them:sneaky2:
  11. I agree. I have 2 200t's but others havent had the time to save to purchase them would be glad of a 2nd climbing saw to finish a pruning job with no doubt.
  12. I agree as somone who learned to climb with a bow-saw and a 254. But why not use the correct tool for the job. It looks an excellent little pruning saw for a good price

    The old ones do have a nasty habit of opening when idiots fill your saws. It's nice getting covered in chain oil huh Ian If you need help sorting the new caps out i think you should ask the nearest 10 year old hehehe
  14. A back up top handled saw with a back handle? That's a sustitute
  15. Gotta love the friendly welcoming attitude you have. Is there not a stone you can crawl back under?
  16. Heat no. With the constriction of the muffler removed it actually reduces the head in the piston/cylinder as the saw can expell the hot waste gases more efficiently. There is going to be a little more stress on the engine, but not that much, as your are not increasing the rpm thatthe saw is runing at but the torque
  17. Looked as crappy as you described it. Was there no scope to pull it over backwards?
  18. Are you refering to the sheath of the rope stretching and settling ? Both of my ropes have done it and if normal on some cordages http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=3654
  19. If you don't fully cook the porriage it allows you to eat more with equal volume as it slowly expands in you gut. Works for me as i stopped eating it for the same issue your having until this was shown to me
  20. Fair sized ash there. Good job, looked fun
  21. I like trees, but thankfully i don't get sexually aroused by them unlike tree monkey
  22. How do you know my mum?
  23. hahaha that's ace
  24. For this to be discussed fully I'd start a new thread. There are different opinions and too much to discus in this one
  25. Both my blaze ropes have milked. i just make a habit of drawing the friction hitch right off the end of the rope when I see it happening. Gently however as you you don't want to stretch the sheath just settle it down. Good rope - the problem will not persist long
