Well Ironhorse... I have picked up a bunch of old/cheap 55 Husqvarna power saws to start learning how to port. Ironhorse Yes you are 70% of the reason. I think the rest goes to Bellhopper, Bayou Country, The Walkers and a few other guys. I think this will be good thing. Thank you for all the videos friend. :)
Howdy Ironhorse! I just ported a Mac 10-10. I got a hold of Kensie and asked him about my numbers for it. I will let you know how it turns out. Good to see you. Peace.
Mr. Harvey thanks for the kind words!! I really don't know how to deal with my channel blowing up like it has. It makes a fella feel good to say the least! Thank-you my friend.
Preciate your willingness to share your wealth of knowledge to us that need it! I've got several saws im in the works on...just got a cs-680 that im gonna do a mild port on for a firewood saw...and am currently in the process of a dolmar 7910 build and a 371 husky dark orange chassis! Thanks again and thoroughly enjoy ALL your videos...no matter what your talking about!
Fixed the high idle/linkage on my big blue G660 when I got her last spring, forgot exactly what I did, but it was just a matter of tweaking the rods, after sitting and figuring out how it all worked, it turned out the rods were just bent incorrectly. I wish I could remember exactly which one I rebent so I could share it, but it's been a year and fair number of hours, and she's still working fine. Still can't get used to "up to kill" being a mostly a husky/Echo guy, Stihls have just never found there way to my collection, no bias there, if I found one reasonable, I'd own it. There's a Poulan and a couple Macs in the list too, a Mini 30 and newer plastic one that needs crank seals which seem unobtainium. Anyway, I'm rambling which is my nature. Just wanted to pass on the linkage tweak thing and say: Thanks for all the great videos!
And there's another thing since you're talkin about if the saw runs perfect before you teardown the carburetor or something I always pressure test mine that way when I put the cylinder on after doing a job I don't have to worry about a leak cuz I'll be damned if I put a cylinder on and I have to tear her down and take it all back apart again just because I had blown out seal I think somebody taught me that a couple years ago Uncle Harvey's you just haven't really mentioned it in like 2 years the little things that we forget..lol good day sir
Hey Mr.Harv and Sgt Drake hope all is well. Getting to be like watching regular tv around here I watched 7 advertisements to get through half hour of video you fellas made the big time big brother is using you to get us to buy there crap lol
Hi Harvey, we use multiple sets of the same scales. I have found that the weight center of an item has to be in the center of the scales plate to get the greatest accuracy. As we all know the center of an item is not always the center of its weight. To speed up the handling of our products, I have put a mark in the center of our scales to make it easier to get every piece in the right place without having to line it up
I broke my right ankle bucking back in 96. I had a 3 foot fir tree roll uo the back of my leg and I actually broke my ankle when I pulled it out. The log was putting so much pressure on the back my leg my shin was starting to bow. So I reached down grabbed my boot with both hands and yanked and kinda jumped forward at the same time. It came out from but I heard and felt a pop in my ankle and knew right away it was broke. My ankle gas never been the same since.
None of us are better than all of us, u ain't gotta explain to me buddy I'm with ya, same with welding...UR GONNA GET BURNT..if ur gonna be stupid u gotta b tough, I've personally learned that haha
Hi Ironhorse, love your videos! Just picked up an old husky 61 with the aluminum chain break handle. Cleaned and rebuilt carb and still can't seem to get it running long enough to dial in settings. She wants to bog something fierce before dying. Could it be something with the metering on that tillotson or any other suggestions ? Thanks.
So true a lot of times the knock off saw s can be a huge pain in the but . A Mild port is a good thing Enhancing is good les problem if you go crazy you can have a huge bag of troubles
Cool beans. I don't know if you have been having any problems getting what you ordered through Ebay or not . But I have. I think the last one is going to make it right. But I needed the right part 2 months ago. I just hope they send the one i ordered . Instead of the wrong one. I think a collaboration like that would be awesome. Have a great day everyone. 😊😊👍👍🍵☕
Hi Harvey, loving the channel. You talk alot of sence, best upgrade to your saw, learn to sharpen it, and keep it and the fuel clean. Really looking forward to your alcohol saw build. Do you think the standard clutch will take the extra power or do you have a plan to overcome any issues with the clutch?
If Riddle is the machine shop company namesake, I bet he cut a O-ring groove in the case separation flange/purchaee/land(?). And if he's as good as i think he is... well, that's enough. I don't want to let no cats out of the bag... (ref.: "Hey Jake, when did you get the new MAICO 490?").
I did not cut an o-ring groove on this one. I’m sealing it with the fit and a very light coat of sealer. The head is inset into the cylinder and works much like a labyrinth style seal. I’m not the California bunch of riddle’s but shook out of the same family tree lol. Thank you for the compliments.
How does the wiseco piston work with out windows compared to a stock piston with windows? How would that affect the saw if any? Thanks for education iron horse!
Hello iH, yeah, I saw Riddles comment... and I had a flashback. I didn't google this either. There was a premier VW machine shop in Orange County, Ca. Called Riddle Machine Company(Or spelled something like that). BIG BOYS! Some of their work is in space. Or it could be a coincidence. I don't know.
Hi Harvey and Cullen!!😀😀 I know what you mean about getting one to many dents if you have been a logger for 30 to 40 years. You and I wish we could go out and still production cut. But you know as well as me that it's never going to happen. We are still young at heart but old in body!! LOL!!😎😎 We do well to just cut our own fire wood. But it always feels good to get that saw our hands. Even if it's for only a little while at a time!! I have 2 of the G660,s and the first one I got the high idle works just fine. The second one I picked up I'm not sure because I haven't even started it yet and have had it for over 6 months. The guy I bought it from only ran it enough to dull the chain once. So I have a feeling it only has less than 1 tank through it with the way the guy cuts wood. The electronic ignition went out on my first one. I just took one from a old 046 and it has ran really good. The carb seems to be just fine on it. Take care my friends!!😀😀❤ Logger Al
Hey Harv I have a idea for a video that I think would be great for the viewers. What if we setup a go fund me account or something similar for a saw that we could watch you build. And you could send it to Buckin. If your interested I have a 74cc Dayton with the reed valves that I would donate and cash. I would really love to see this.
3D printer is what you need to look into they got all kinds of plastics for the heat from motor all kinds of stuff you can print with... could make the intake blocks for 390 uve got my brain just a runnin thinkin about what could b done with 3D printer and with the things you do outside the box i know you could brainstorm something up as well
Been throwing money at my logging business for 29 years probably y I don't have a big bank account. I'll keep throwing it as long as I can log.its my passion not my job.I'm too old try something else. Lol. I can always just run skidder when I can't cut anymore.
Yep, the Dremel brand is pricey. Especially rotary files. Used tap? It's usually the first few teeth that wear...and can be touched up with a dremel stone. Old, totally trashed taps can be ground to a point... and you'll have the hardest center punch on the block!
Hi ironhorse. A have a 266 there and it has a switch jst below the on of switch. A have no idea what it's for someone said heated grips. A thought it would be to old for that. And is there eny difference from a 266 se. And 266 xp.?

Hi Ironhorse, thanks for Tinman's saws!like the man, enjoy watching him nearly has much as you! Thanks for your company👍
I buy the same bits from amazon. I’ve ported tons of saws with them. Great bits!!
Same Amazon

What? Chainsaws! I was on Oprah Winfrey's channel and she had a link to Iron Horse. He's better than her and Donahue combined! Just saying.

Haha! Thanks! There is a lot that I just don’t think about saying! Yer right! Been trying to catch myself more! It’s important!
Good stuff sir! Keep up the good work.the two piece runs well and it will run even better when I get the pipe on it.
Harv, I love the videos of the saws especially the 66 's keep it up God bless

Those ten peice burr sets are the greatest damn value I think I've ever seen, except for maybe the WEN rotary tool set with flexahaft for under $30!
You have some good stuff coming. Keep it up!
We need mor subs! The man is working and tiching everyone help the man grow!!!
You got it Harvey 👍.

True words Harvey 👍
I prefer single cut burrs because they give nicer finish, but there are times ill use double cut also.
It is Jon Riddle who cut the 660 head off and made his own..there is a video of the saw on my TH-cam channel
It runs pretty well!

If you want high idle, replace the trigger and choke levers. Walt has that info on his channel.
So true a lot of times the knock off saw s can be a huge pain in the but . A Mild
port is a good thing Enhancing is good les problem if you go crazy you can have a huge bag of troubles

Hello, I’m in PA and been using an old 039 for years..Can you recommend a good pro saw that would be good for an upgrade please.

That's rt one the $$.. the day I'm not a groundman is the day I start gaining weight sitting on my butt inside of a machine..lol
Amen brother. Where about are u out of?
Can i send you an old jred 625ii you can do as you please with it i have no preferences i just want it to run right every time i start it
Hi Ironhorse i have got ms461 do wisco make a piston for this saw ?
Lol, i have a dent and nerve damage. If you are scared of getting hurt don't go logging.
In your opinion how much better was the 066 compaired to the 064.
Yep, the Dremel brand is pricey. Especially rotary files. Used tap? It's usually the first few teeth that wear...and can be touched up with a dremel stone. Old, totally trashed taps can be ground to a point... and you'll have the hardest center punch on the block!
Hi ironhorse. A have a 266 there and it has a switch jst below the on of switch. A have no idea what it's for someone said heated grips. A thought it would be to old for that. And is there eny difference from a 266 se. And 266 xp.?
The second switch is indeed for heated grips.
That is what they refer to as a 266sg, g is for generator.
@@tinmanssaws thanks a wasn't sure. But a do know thanks again tinman's saws.
Love it Ironhorse. The different piston weights is interesting. What are your thoughts on rebuilding a 372XPW 75cc saw. Wondering if I should try to find an OEM piston and cylinder for it to keep it OG. Thanks Harv love ya man.🌲❤🌲✊
