I e used and worked on saws for 35years but i learn new stuff each time i watch your videos. Recently gotten into ported saws and wow i cant believe what I've been missing. Thanks for the educational videos
Further to a few comments re weird regulations involving EPA regulations, I have a Jon 2165 with limiter caps and cannot reduce the RPMs below 13200 although the manufacturer says to max out at 12500. Wacko. I do wonder though if that could be a carb issue. The saw runs fine otherwise. Don it’s great to see you are healing and thanks again for another informative video.
I'm surprised Canada and other countries followed the USA "Pied Piiper" EPA and not allowed the sale of the outlawed carburetor tools. I've been watching out for the new aftermarket 585 carb tool to be available online, without any luck.
I've fixed quite a few of the ZAMA accelerator pump carbs on a 250, FS 45/55 and the like. The O-Rings just get hard from the Ethanol and needs a replacement so long as you know what to look for like the racing and poor acceleration and on purge bulb systems the bulb doesn't fill fully (air leak is present to cause that as it's just sucking air and not fuel). 3mm ID x 1mm cross section Nitril BUNA O-Ring and some Loctite 241 for the butterfly screw.
I heard you know quite a bit about the 3120 Huskys. I just picked up a healthy 3120 K concrete saw dirt cheap. I plan to convert it to a chainsaw. I know I'll need a crankcase oil pump clutch drum clutch cover and the top cover. Is there anything else I need to be aware of that's different. I kind of wondered if it have different port timing or ignition timing. I plan to do a unlimited coil and some compression and port work. And figure out how to or have a high jet installed in the carb. Any tips or information will be greatly appreciated thanks
If for some reason you don't have the correct carb adjustment tool I have had success taking a Dremel with a cutoff wheel and cutting slots into the carb screws so you can use a traditional flathead to adjust them.
Hey Donny, Im starting to port my 372xp using inspiration from your videos. Do you ever cut the squishband/combustion chamber in 372xps, and if so how much is a good amount for a worksaw?
Your going to 1 1/2 to 1 3/4? Why do the others use 1 and 1 as a starting point? I have several old junk rebuilds that I argue with frequently. Your the expert, please advise.
Is it possible to order a ported OEM cylinder kit from you for a 372? Its a x-torq that ill be converting to non xtorq. Its my daily driver so sending it in wouldn’t be possible currently.
They'd rather you burn up a saw so a factory has to remanufacture a new one. There are carbon emissions involved in the manufacturing process of the new stuff that has to be made because the equipment burns up from running lean.
Thanks Donny, I really enjoy your chainsaw chat. Regards, Steve in NZ
Thanks Donny , from Millbury Massachusetts!!!!

Welcome back Donny love your stuff. Married with small engines has a husqvarna that she needs help with Donny it's her latest video 😊😊
I use a piece of 1/4" nylon truck air brake hose on the husky carbs.
I'll have to give that trick a try, thanks.
Great info as always, thanks Donny.
Hop-along Donny is back! 😄 Thanks for the video upload!

I don’t cut any combustion chambers I do a gasket delete on some saws plus. Some base cutting and port to a good safe number for a good work saw
