My god. That is the best analogy ever! I'm using it, and I'll also add that I was the one who came up with it, thus stealing it from you without shame or remorse!
Great saws to work on. Just finished my ported cs 8000. I'm out about 4.5-5 turns on high speed jet. Could use a bigger carb after porting. With 28" solid powercut bar, perfect balance. Weighs 21.5 lbs full of fuel/oil & 28" bar. No carb governor bllsht like the older 80 cc husqs. No rev-limited coil bllsht like the makita/dolmar Press-fit metal oiler gear that never strip like plastic garbage. Six anti-vibe locations, they are SMOOTH. Bullet proof piston rod as big as 90-100 cc saws. I replaced a stock stihl-born magnumless 660 for my -home ported 8000. Really happy with the change. Love running mine......
@@jimsworthow531 Jim, will do. I'm waiting on a new old stock hda 45 carb. It's a significantly larger carb for the older 1980's echo cs 8000p. Once I get that carb tuned, I'll let yah know bud.
The old QV-8000 is a great quad port cylinder and they were kinda a factor ported saw’s for the fire rescue world and they make a very decent work saw when swapped over… I’ve been using mine for 25 years and it’s been a crazy good tool and it’s been paying my bills for two decades now! Love me echo equipment…👍😁
the polished outlet is used to let out all the assembly oil😆, I agree with you, if it works 50:1 of oil, no more oil is needed. i almost agree on the warmup, the pin of the ring is steel , in a WCS video he talked about pins coming out, i cut something small woods after 20-30 at idle
That was some really good info there at the end. Seems to be working good for you. That makes me curious about how all the manufacturers lube or coat the engines during production.
I find it fascinating that the numbers translate into performance before ever putting the saw to wood. That takes experience to know just how much to take off here and/or leave alone there. The end result is that it’s not just another factory saw belched out like a thousand others like it on a robotic assembly line, but is customized to the practical application of the end-user. Thus, it bears your unique maker’s mark. That right there, son, is worth the price alone.
Yep I agree, screamers run like sht up here in interior Alaska below zero weather. Moving too much dense, below zero air. Saws won't get up to temp. Much more than 9-10k rpms in the cut, the cutters will just skip and chatter in below zero frozen Alaskan birch, no matter the raker depth. Torque down low and moderate rpms, that's what gets sht done up here.
Morgan from wild west garage puts his saws together dry also, so youre not crazy. He explains that all that extra oil also just burns into carbon anyways.
If everyone did everything the same, this world would be a very boring place. I tend to be a creature of habit and worked on 4 stroke automotive, race and commercial engines for 12+ years before getting into 2 strokes. So I do lube up all moving parts upon assembly. Do I know that it's absolutely necessary? No. Does that mean your way is wrong? Absolutely not! I'm just stuck in my old ways and don't see how it can hurt😅 Excited to see how she runs👍🏻
Polishing the exhaust on all but the highest-performance saws is like putting slicks on your Prius.

@@novicelumberjack That is very Edisonlike of you or just the American way. Whichever you prefer!. Keep up the good work buddy.
@@novicelumberjack definitely need to be using that line!!! “ like putting slicks on a Prius!” LMFFAO!!!
I like the idea of staying simple to get gains. Sometimes it helps the guys just starting out. Keep up the great videos!
You're right most people just want a saw that runs and cuts great and has longevity.

Thanks for that info Mike; here and the earlier details; make a video with your saw; take care.

Those saws have some potential. Shaun Carr built a really mean one

What’s that ring for? Looks like it restricts the inlet.

Excited to see how she runs👍🏻
How did she run?
Did you open up the windows in the piston to get all the air you can get into those transfers?
👍👍
The pareta principal (80/20) came from me but it’s cool that you read the comments even if you suck at names! 😁 Hell I’m way worse so👍🏼 😉
👍🆙BigGuy
I do know better, but I do it anyway .
I can resist everything !
Except temptation
Got to be talking about JCS I quit watching him because he talks alot of shit about other people for no reason
Noice..... What did you raise your transfers to on the 800? I don't remember hearing you mention that.
122. So it has 20⁰ blowdown
