Yeah Gordy if you could please do a video on the proper way to adjust the carburetors on a souped-up saw that would be amazing thank you so much God bless my friend
@@westcoastsaw1368 would love a detailed video on carb adjustment. Just bought at a auction a 066 magnum. Some guys remove the carb screen when they port. Is this a wise choice?
You do it the same way you would any other engine with a high & low speed circuit. In its simplest terms, keep the saw from running clear at WOT. "WAAAAAAAAAAAA"= bad "WAWAWAWAWAWAWAWA"=GOOD If you hear the former, turn the high speed counterclockwise. If you think the high speed is too rich, turn it clockwise until it clears out & then back it off till it just 4 strokes.. IGNITION CUTS NEGATE THIS INSTRUCTION!! The low speed you just turn out until the idle is lumpy rich, then screw it in until idle becomes less labored. If the engine falls on its face when throttled up, the low speed is too lean & needs to be turned counterclockwise. As for new electronic saws, I've not got a clue.
Nice video Gordy! I like the idea of a video on piston and ring maintenance, often times folks run them too long worn out and risk messing up the cylinder. Take care.
I had a backup backup 046mag that was still running with an inch long piece of piston ring in the muffler. Had very little power, but once & a while I ran a tank through it. That saw was held together with wire instead of mounts. I still have it.
Really glad you made the comment regarding adjusting the carburetor richer. I see so many comments all over the place advising people to do the opposite. It never made sense to me. Well said!👍
Of course I cut one hole a little large. I’m a dumbass. Be careful and take your time. I backed the rivet with some JB weld and it worked like a charm. Awesome product, I screwed up but easy fix. Thanks Gordy and please give us more content with Treeson and Shlafer logging. Great content you’re doing an awesome job.
Thanks for doing these instructions videos! I need to get some ports for my Makita/dolmar 7900. I already have a bark box on my 461, so thanks for that!
Awesome Video Gordy!! I'm so glad to see you putting out more videos!! I have most of your products for the 500i! I'm so excited you're coming out with the side cover for the 362. Keep going with the videos!👍🏻👍🏻
Installed nice and easy. It’s not an absolute perfect fit even when shaped but nothing will be unless welded and these cheap mufflers would be a pain to weld on with as thin as they are. Very happy with the results and the performance. I definitely noticed an RPM jump.
On a different video you talked about how you "built a 066" chainsaw. I'd love to see more videos on what all goes into building/rebuilding chainsaws to be better
Could you please do a video on the ms200T, or ms200 exhaust. Just getting over renal cancer, chemotherapy, etc. Can’t work like I used to but like my hot rod saws. Have a ported ms660 as well. Thanks, I look forward to your videos. Ronnie East Tennessee
Great video mate! Just received the exhaust for my 200t, a few of these on my bigger saws will be great so expect another order soon Cheers from Australia
17/64 is what's called a 1/4 clearance drill. Also, do you have a recommendation for altering/removing that baffle? I've found on 461s that if you open up the muffler and especially if you add a Maxflow or similar you must remove the carb limiters or there is not enough adjustment to avoid running lean
Hello Gordy. Love what your doin. I am wondering if you can tell me what saw the two rubber mounts in your fallers suspension kit are from. I got the 661 spring and rubber peice for the front off a recked saw and am looking for the other two peices. Thank you sir. Hope you have an awesome day. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
Hey Gordy! I wanted to stop in and let you know. I’m just a home owner and can’t really justify owning a professional saw and here in the south East Facebook marketplace doesn’t really have a lot of large saws to offer. So I ended up ordering a Farmmac 660 just for fun and then immediately ordered your bark box and felling dog kit to pimp in out 😂 thanks for producing some kick ass products homie!
Great video thanks. Just a wonder if your working on a European saw and using an m8 spanner could you use metric drills might be easier then buying an “odd” size drill? Looking forward to the next video, going to go and watch the carb video one of my saws bogs down and doesn’t take off as it should. Thanks again keep up the great work!
super nice port kit. never seen a nut rivet, looks tight! could you do a video where you run a stock saw, port it once and run it, port it twice and run it, maybe port it a third time and run it it there is room. curious to see and hear the results. Thanks!
After watching this video, I'm going out to my garage to "look at" the Westcoast saw bark box (still in package) I ordered from you 😂. Then I'm gonna fire up my Lil MS271 minus installed bark box to do some chainsaw carpentry on my 1/2 ass woodshed I started building yesterday. Rain is coming Gordy! Us Washingtonians need all the wood we can get 😂 🔥 gotta stay dry and warm!
I hate to say this, but this is the first time of watching one of your videos Gordy. I have seen you multiple times with Jacob. And I found this video through a video showing the exhaust mod. Really happy to have found ya. One thing though, you need more shots of your lab. LOL He was tearing a amazon box in Jacobs video. Anyway, have a great day stay safe.
Hey Gordy, just picked up a 500i. Was looking at a bark box, but most of my forestry work is near enough to people that it might be too loud. Do these work on the 500i style muffler? Do you think they'd make any difference?
Is there any benefit to add a port if I already have a barkbox? MS362C, I'm not a logger, arborists or anything. I just take care of properties, firewood, clear falling trees across forest roads for volunteer groups, etc. so take it easy on me 😁
I see the order I placed for my 271 has shipped thx for the speedy service Gordy! New sub and customer here. I'm located out southwest a ways of you guys on Hood Canal 👍👍 give me a Diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper and make it fast I'm in a G damn hurry 😂
When scribing the hole layout could you use a sized centering punch to mark the riot hole then drill thru the riviot holes while the port is still temporarily held for its marking?
I ported a Stihl blower BG 85 and an Echo saw 2511t with the 200t port. One problem, I got lucky I checked for whatever reason, but I pulled the plug on my blower after about 7-10 hours of use and it was white and caked up. "Lean"??? What do you recommend for adjusting the carburetor to avoid this from blowing my motors? Thanks Gordy 💙🤙
Any mods for the factory muffler port on a stihl ms500i? I have a 3/4 wrap stihl handlebar and when running it with my hand on the bar nut side my hand gets really hot. Just installed the wcs aluminum clutch cover, really like it. Same with the faller’s spring, the bark box, 3 prong felling dogs!!
What did you use to cut the main hole for the port? I recently purchased the universal exhaust port for a 201t. I'm kind of intimidated by this install. Would a Milwaukee m12 die grinder with cutting wheel work, To open up the muffler?
5:45 I'm surprised that a 17/64" drill bit is considered a weird size as it should be in everyone's 1/16"-1/2" drill bit index/assortment. Any time I'm drilling for a through bolt of common sizes (3/16,1/4,5/16,3/8, Etc. ) , I will go 1/64" over.
I'm thinking about adding a port to my Stihl MS 261C, but I don't see an option for a port that will fit that one. Do you have any recommendations for the 261C? I wish there were an option for a suspension kit for the 261C to be able to run a longer bar, at least a 25. Do you know if there are any option for the 261C as far as running a longer bar than 20"?
Hey Gordy is it possible to get just the hardware? I bought a port from you last year but haven’t installed it yet and this would be better than all the random screws I have
As a pro I'd like your opinion. I used to climb. I found stock too slow and I still can't figure out square. But I did stumble on changing the pitch angle and depth on a round grind. I really like the results. Just wondering your thought and if you could do an experiment on it
@johnnyshell2839 do you push into the bit from the outside? What kind of file are you using? If you're filing on the saw, get a wedge & jam it in-between the bottom rail & the chain. This will get your chain glued to the guidebar which is very important. You want that chain to be solid as you can get it. I would start by focusing on lining up the corner of the file with the corner of the top & side plate. From there you can adjust all of the other angles. There're two for each plate, the degree of the cutting edge angle & the degree of the cutting edge taper. The corner is the main objective though. I've experimented with numerous different angles & most of them cut great.
@@elonmust7470 it's a square file. I push from the open side of the tooth. That way I can clear a bur with a flat file. No wedges. I've never needed them. Trees ain't that stubborn on the east coast. If it acts stupid I take the notch deeper. Stiff wood. Always a Humboldt from the ground and traditional when I was in the tree. That's how I found the different grind with round that really works for me. You can grind square all day. But I'll still use my round. For me it's better and way more controlled. I can make a 170 smoke a wood boss 290. It's just easier for me. It was an accidental grind when I was with asplundh tree.
The differences is these are smaller openings than a bark box but in theory if you had enough of them they would flow as much universal ports are for if you want more flow after putting a muffler cover on to make it a triple port The Husqvarna‘s and other models that are designed with a one piece muffler there’s no way to bolt a front cover on to get more flow so we offer these so you can mod the mufflers that you’re not able to get the bark box on
I’m thinking of putting a bark box on a stihl 400. I’m also wanting to put on one of your clutch covers, do you know when that will be available for the stihl 400?
Hey Gordy got 462 stihl will port you installed on this one work on mine and on your saw doggs I got set like yours were did you get your bolts for your outside dogg stihl one in city I can't fine nowhere thanks what size
Just got the 11/8 -2 1/8 th hopefully it opens the 441 up enough. That saw Needs to breathe. Might sell it, it's kinda a heavy saw. Not the best power either.
These work great on one piece mufflers where you can’t get to the backside I just did it on a stihl muffler for demonstration purposes so you guys could see the inside how the rivet flares on the inside
Wouldn't you have to open up the muffler regardless just to make sure there are no leftover metal chips inside? I mean if they get in contact they can really mess up a piston
Yeah Gordy if you could please do a video on the proper way to adjust the carburetors on a souped-up saw that would be amazing thank you so much God bless my friend

I have a carb video on here it was the first video I put up 👍
I’d like to see how you modify your Carhartt double front pants to be saw pants. Love me some WCS!!
I’m impressed by the brand new 461 arctic wrap handle
Nice add with the hardware kit Gordy. The 5 series mufflers are the most "child proof" mufflers on the market. They're a real PITA to mod well.
Nice video Gordy! I like the idea of a video on piston and ring maintenance, often times folks run them too long worn out and risk messing up the cylinder. Take care.
Yep I am on it thanks my friend 👍
loved that video!
I had a backup backup 046mag that was still running with an inch long piece of piston ring in the muffler. Had very little power, but once & a while I ran a tank through it. That saw was held together with wire instead of mounts. I still have it.
What size do you recommend for a 572? Maybe another video? 🤙
Great content Gordy! I would recommend adding some heat tape to the under of the chain brake flag to prevent melting . Keep it up
Piston maintenance would be be a bad ass video and cylinder too!! Thanks Gordy for another great video!!!
You maintain it by not doing anything other than keeping screws tight.
Really glad you made the comment regarding adjusting the carburetor richer. I see so many comments all over the place advising people to do the opposite. It never made sense to me. Well said!👍
If it's blubbering rich then yeah, then it up. If it's barely 4 stroking at all, don't. Ignition limiters throw a wrench into that precedure.
Of course I cut one hole a little large. I’m a dumbass. Be careful and take your time. I backed the rivet with some JB weld and it worked like a charm. Awesome product, I screwed up but easy fix. Thanks Gordy and please give us more content with Treeson and Shlafer logging. Great content you’re doing an awesome job.

Cool, rather than try and build a muffler I may just buy some of these. They look sharp!
So I could put this on a MS 362 with the old style one piece muffler right? Just get the rivet on with some needlenose pliers right?
Nice clean install, looks great

What’s the best way to tighten the rivets on husky mufflers since you can’t open omit up to get inside the muffler
These work great on one piece mufflers where you can’t get to the backside I just did it on a stihl muffler for demonstration purposes so you guys could see the inside how the rivet flares on the inside
@@westcoastsaw1368 as you tighten t the nuts down does to make the rivets flare
@@yata_4204Yes
Wouldn't you have to open up the muffler regardless just to make sure there are no leftover metal chips inside? I mean if they get in contact they can really mess up a piston

That is a nice vise.
Why?
5/32's is basically 4mm. 5 mm is basically 8mm. I go back and forth all the time doing mountain bike stuff which is all metric.
