    over the last year, in prepeartion for taking on my new interest in chainsaws and porting, i've bought approximately 15 saws, an ultrasonic cleaner, a compression tester, a mightyvac pressure/vacuum tester, a foredom flex shaft, a timing wheel, and a few other things. I haven't done my first port job yet, but I am taking in all of your training. i am extremely confident I will be able to make nice work saws after i finish all of your training. it all makes perfect sense. i love how you explain things. you truly are a great teacher. i originally intended to port 4-5 of the saws and leave the rest stock, but you said it is addictive to port saws. i can already see that coming!! thank you, sincerely

    Great intro. I started the cs-680 the same way. I got it running today as picked up. It was missing the clutch, so I will be shocked if I don’t find an oiler issue or maybe an air leak. It will take more investigation before I tear it down. The crank end was good, and there’s no play but I can’t believe it was abandoned just because of a $45 clutch.

    I didn't mean to be so coarse in my first comment on the 461. I apologize. I really need to know how to deck a saw & time it right. I port a bit of the transfers, exhaust from the piston out & intake to the piston. I've also got some prototype air cleaners for a 461 & just those adjustments have made it the hottest saw I've ever ran in 20 years of climbing & cutting trees. Once I learn this timing & decking stuff I'm gonna be unstoppable. Also did these things to my 372xp x-torq & its a banty rooster. I love every bit of this slow shit. I must be slow🤤 42 & still climbing... but I love it & chainsaws just as much as you do. Thank you.

    Hey guys, how's everybody doing? Greetings from the mountains of East Tennessee. Listen, I have a cs4600 45cc saw that looks like a smaller version of this cs670. First off I love the design of this cylinder, especially for a saw designed in the '80s. But a ferrous metal ring is pressed into the intake port, which the rubber intake boot slips over. I have no doubt that the designers in Japan didn't press this metal ring into the cylinder head for shits and giggles. Although I do see evidence of enough overengineering to make the Germans blush I can't quite see the purpose of this ring. I was thinking it serves as a heatsink perhaps to lower emissions but I don't think they worried too much about such things back in the 80s. Does anyone have a clue as to why they did this? Love the channel and the enormous depository of valuable information it has become. I've been an A&P aircraft mechanic since 1990 for whatever that's worth.
