The bench is covered in junk from several emergency repair
projects (cars, trucks and tractors that broke). And I wasn't
going to do a chainsaw project this winter - but I'm bored.
There's a decent 42cc Poulan engine on the shelf, and I just
ordered a good carcass with a blown engine. So it looks like
I'm going to clear off the bench and come up with something else
strange to do to a plastic Poulan for entertainment.

I know that feeling.

The heated handles on my 266 get warm enough that on a 40 degree
day you need gloves to turn them on.
I have a 371/365 on my bench. Ported it last night. Going to run
it today. I threw my muffler on it so I could test it and I'll
get on modding his today sometime.

That porting did not mean drop the cylinder and hope the numbers
come out great did it. Just a little humor or sarcasm however
you want to put it.

Nope not quite. Lots of grinding on these to get the numbers
back. Almost 10° on the exhaust and transfers.

I ran one of Mike's ported 576 saws a couple years ago. I
thought it ran mighty good. I felt of the heat coming off the
cylinder and the way it sounded. Appeared to be one you could
run all day?

The 576 was a work saw for sure. No compression increase on it
at all.

Was fixing a PM chain today. Could see where the cutter was
filed down into the drive link before.
After what I just had happen in the chain build off. I didnt
want someone coming back on me saying I did it. So I cut and
replaced the suspect parts.
Never thought about that before coming back on me IF. So
inspecting folks chains now closer.

Sounds like a lot of work and a real port job to me. Like
shaping, blow down, RPM's and flow.

I always clean/degrease used chains I get to inspect for damage.
Posted a bunch of photos in my 'Challenge Chain' thread on that
other site. I have seen:
- upside down tie straps;
- inside out tie straps:
- low profile tie straps used on full sized 3/8 pitch chain;
- broken off parts;
- all kinds of cracks in different components;
- hand peened rivets that are almost flush with the tie strap,
instead of 'mushroomed' over;
- 'buffet chains' (a few STIHL links, some Oregon parts, a few
Windsor cutters, some other type of Oregon cutters, some low
profile/some not, . . . ;
- and my favorite - the Pop rivet!

The Pop rivet really cracked me up. That is quite the list of
crazy things people do to their chains. I do not think I have
ever come across anything like that.
