Found your site through Buckin’s site. Been a diesel mechanic all my life. Worked at Cummins for many years rebuilding industrial engines. I now work for Pepsi to keep their fleet of trucks and trailers running. I had never worked on trailers until I started working for them. I have enjoyed learning on working on them. I was always an engine guy. Have cut my own firewood for many years as well. I self taught myself on doing muffler jobs on my own saws, now I want to start porting. Glad I found your site and looking forward to learning this next level of challenge at 62 I have found that you have to keep challenging your self and learning to help you keep your mind sharp and to feel a sense of being. Great video and love your passion and it shows through your porting process that you talk about and what all is involved in doing it right. 👍🏼
Tinman super vid !! Your the first gentleman that cut a chainsaw motor in half to explain how things work that I've seen so far, me my self never ported but explaining how you go about it is awesome,you iron horse and buckin are fantastic on explaining to us. Keep up the great work. Good people 👍👍
Thank you for all that passion and honesty and fun Way to explain things. This has been the best introduction video on how to porting I have ever seen thank you 🙏
enjoy your videos on CZcams got me going on my uncle xl 12 homelite he bought in mid 70s. l got it going thanks. Now I have a 266 husqvarna bottom end that I'm going to build over time. Thanks for get me going on these saw again.
Hi Tinman!!😀😀😀 You are getting me thinking about trying to do my first port job. Just keep showing us what to do!!👍👍 and I'll keep listening. Take care my friend!!😀😀👍👍 Logger Al
This is very helpful and awesome. I had to watch this a couple of times and your other videos but now I have a better understanding. Thank you for the teaching keep it up. 👍
It's 3 a.m. and I'm wide awake absorbing saw knowledge. Going to go all the way on an old homelite for practice, then it's on to my work saws... thanks for teaching us man.
Hey Tinman, great words of inspiration from the professor! Experience is the most valuable knowledge of all you're a rich man! You're saw shelf is getting a little crowded, you'll have to start sending some my way LOL.😂 Keep up the great work 👍👍💪💪😁.
Top of the morning' Tinman!!!!! Hope all your dreams come true. Thanks for making these video's, I'm a better person, smarter too because of you sharing yer knowledge, especially on porting theory. Be safe and keep sharing.
Tinman, Started watching at maybe 850 subs. Selfishly, I subbed 999 for a family member and 1000 for me. With tips from you and some other channels, I started porting cheapo saws, developing a steady hand to not ruin any cylinders. At about the time of this video, my son stuck a steel ring on his finger, which started to swell. Virtual schooling wasn’t keeping his attention. It was very scary and we didn’t want to go to the ER during COVID quarantine. With a 1” diamond wheel on the Dremel, I went to work on something far more valuable than an OEM cylinder until wire cutters finished the job. Thanks for contributing to this unforeseen benefit of amateur porting.
Very much enjoy your sharing of knowledge. If I'm going to get into this, and a friend just gave me a donor saw, I'm interested in the equipment you use. Short and sweet. Doesn't need a lot of explanation. I see your magnifier on the hook, etc. Model of Dremel, you get the idea.Thanks
Thanks for sharing your information,wish I would've had a better understanding about port timing and how to use a degree wheel before I ported my banshee a few years ago thanks to you I get it now and the fact I skrewed up two cylinders it has a very narrow powerband now 10000 is its only happy place now extremely peakey not cool for the type of trail riding I do now cause I'm getting old lol
Great videos Mr. Tinman. Found you either through Buckin' or IronHorse. Glad I did. Great videos on the cutaway, and great topics. Enjoying the content, and subscribed!
I just came across your channel about a week ago and have been watching videos back to back. I find this stuff absolutely fascinating. I am curious about how one puts a cylinder in a lathe now. This stuff is one big rabbit hole. Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers from Alberta.
Thanks for sharing your information. Love your attitude! I am planning on porting my first saw here real soon. It's a clapped out McCulloch 10-10 super e. It is running again but I cannot seem to make it 4 stroke on the high end. Think I might have an air leak somewhere. The throttle shafts are real loose in the carb so I ordered another to try. Can't seem to stall it with brake cleaner on the clutch or flywheel side.
Awesome content tinman , when you start porting a saw can you go slow enough where guys like me can comprehend what you are trying to achieve. I’m referring to the technical side of things ie torque vs speed. I know this will help a lot of us especially if you zoom in and show exactly what you are doing. You are a great teacher, and I’m looking forward to your next port. Thank you again for such great content......
Thats what my cutaway will be for. In general terms more rpm=less torque More torque=less rpm. More rpm generally makes the torque curve smaller. The key is to find the balance between torque and rpm. Thats the journey. Every saw will want something different so the way to find out what a saw wants is to experiment.
When you say "gasket delete", I fully understand what's going on but what do you then use to seal the joint if you remove the gasket? RTV, or maybe a hand cut thinner paper gasket??? Absolutely LOVING the channel! Thanks Tinman!
Great stuff Tinman, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Learning a ton here. Wondering if you'd be willing to share your thoughts on a couple of my saws. My trusty husqy 395xp is getting pretty tired. Some minor scoring in the cylinder. Ran straight gas very briefly a couple years ago. Just picked up a new cylinder, but thinking about trying my hand at porting the old one. Waste of time or can the scoring be filled in with JBweld? I run a 36" bar on it. I also occasionally run a 3120xp, with a 48" or 6' cannon bar. Thinking about tucking in to that too, it definitely struggles pulling 12' of chain through 8' diameter logs. Love to here your thoughts, no worries if you're to busy. Plenty for me to learn just watching your show!
Thank you my friend for all your hard work please work in some muffler mods for the low tech person like myself I here they can be very useful but I need some ideas
CCs May make a difference. I ported a 42cc poulan 98/125/76 and a 36cc poulan to 100/125/76 and the 36cc doesn’t have the torque the 42cc does. I think the smaller piston diameter in the 36cc made less compression.
If youre handy enough to port you should be able to build yourself a timing wheel. If thats out of your scope youre probably not ready for porting. (I know some old hands dont need them but that only comes with experience. )
My company deals in fuels reduction so we are into a lot of small stuff all day. If there is more brush than trees I run a 543XP due to how light it is. If there are a lot of pecker poles at 4-8" I run my 550. We've had 3 of those. My buddy blew one up in 2 months running it stock with 50:1 Husky mix. After 2 weeks of running mine I hated the saw. I decided that if I opened up the muffler a little and went to 40:1 H1-R mix it would run way better. It's 4 years old now and I can't begin to tell you how many gallons of gas has gone through it. Open it up and it looks beautiful inside. It went from my least favorite saw to my second most favorite saw after my 1985 era 181 SE.
Hey tin man, I’ve got a 044 10 mm. I’ve never ported before. I’m thinking about just polishing the exhaust port and cleaning up a little in the transfers leaving them rough. Do you think this will help increase power or should I change the timing? I do have a timing wheel.
do you think I can do a muffler reaming on a 555xp autotune, with positive results? I am not concerned with noise violations, lol. Just thinking it would breathe better. Would it squeak out a bit more power?
In my experince all the 5 series huskies that I've dealt with really like a muffler mod. They run cooler with an opened up muffler so they tend to just be better runners after.
I just discovered your videos today Tinman,maybe you can explain your name sometime? Very nice job explaining this stuff, thank you for your detail and willingness to share!
Hey tinman great video.. I’d love to trade you for that 5200 chain break they hard to find and most people don’t care to have chain breaks .. I’d love to add that into my collection if u want to trade clutch covers
Out of the box the new saws run like they have an air leak. They run hotter which in turn helps them pass EPA standards. Which means there not going to last as well.
Hi tinman . The puolan s like to run hot to in the summer . I have had my 5200 vaper lock on me once in the summer too . Just what to give you heads up on that . Peace and love from Wisconsin.
Hey tinman you're in Canada. Gotta be some p series pioneers for you to port. I have a p52 if you want to port it for me ..... I also have a nos boost port p n c ... thoughts?
as i consider attempting on a cheap crappy saw, just for practice before I touch one of my good ones, I understand timing, makes sense..... without a timing wheel, may I ask, what about sideways porting? Not necessarily up or down on In or OUT, but horizontal porting and polishing.... air flow and mass should still improve, but would not effect the timing in a vertical lateral manner.... What do you think??? Or just go get a damn timing wheel? LOL
You did awesome on buckins homelite followed you before that but lost you in the CZcams algorithm buckin reminded me that I haven't seen your vids in a while so I searched you again keep up the information I love it
Need a timing wheel ? Google image timing wheel, print it out, glue it on a plastic disc and you have it hey thinman like your Chanel hello from Belgium
Tinman I love you brother, all I know to say right now my wife and I just found out shes pregnant last night and shes freaking out, not, not wanting to have our first kid shes scared and you just give me peace, re direct my mind, sorry too much info...just got a lit goin on and I think a lot of you mr tinman
Got a ? 4 u I really messed up buy an ms271 I ported it. I didn't really get the gains I thought i would. So thought about a big bore kit might solve that but as you probably already know they don't have any. So my ? Is the ms271 and 291 are on the same chassis could you use the 291 cylinder on the 271
I think you will hate that Poulan and it will just clog up your work shop. So selflessly I will help you out and store it for you. I never see the big Poulans in Australia, they are a definite want for me.
Can I Ship you my saw to get running and then port for me? It was gifted to me because I was looking for a bigger saw. It’s a 83 360 auto. Great condition. Just to much compression and I can not pull it over.
The old Homlites, maybe 130 or xl 76. I ran those in my younger days. They were hard in the hands with the vibes. 550xp is my favorite saw now. It is serving me very well.
Hello from Brazil my friend Can you try to help me, please? My chainsaw has a problem with excessive compression. But when I remove the spark plug the piston rotates normally. Even placing your finger in thze spark plug opening causes the piston to become extremely compressed again. Yesterday I installed a completely new cylinder and piston, but the problem remains. I changed the spark plug, removed the carburetor and exhaust fan, and still the problem remains. Do you have any idea what it could be? Can I send you a video showing the problem? I have been seeking help with this mystery on various social media channels, Instagram, CZcams, but no one has been able to guess what could be causing the problem.

whats not clear to you? Its round, chuck it in, check it with a dial & take your facing cut(s)
I’ve still never seen anyone port one of those poulans, and I’m still excited for whenever you do
THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION, COULD SAVE SOMEONE JUST STARTING OUT A LOT OF TROUBLE

Can't seem to stall it with brake cleaner on the clutch or flywheel side.
2 things I'd check.
Make sure theres no leak at the carb to intake block gasket. Second make sure the metering lever is high enough in the carb.

i appreciate the discussion. what do you prefer for your intake / exhaust timing ive heard 150-155 is decent.
It 100% depends on the saw and whos using it.
Very nice 365, I have just got one and mine is the x-torq, what’s the difference? I am more of a stihl guy but this husky was so smooth compared
I'd buy the 461
that applies to all industries thats why they have batch numbers for any future future recalls
Try adapting a Walbro WB3A.. I plan on doing it with my mac 1-41.. the carb is normally used with a yamaha KT100.
i swear these guys on the forums speak like they were born porting meanwhile they never ground on a piece of metal...
and at 2:32 i liked and subsribed
any recommendations for modification of an ms291? Thoughts on the saw in general?
Hi, you make a better stronger shelf than young Harvey!!!!
What kind of wood stove you got in your shop? New sub from Ga.
Its a stove my grandfather built with woodsman doors.

No such thing as too much info buddy!! We all go through struggles, it helps to talk about it.
At least its helped me.
Consistent measurement yields consistent results where do I send my stihl
10C is 18F. 0C is 32F, 20C is 68F, more thann 20C is too hot. Less than 0C is cold. Well, less than -10C is cold. :)
Got a ? 4 u I really messed up buy an ms271 I ported it. I didn't really get the gains I thought i would. So thought about a big bore kit might solve that but as you probably already know they don't have any. So my ? Is the ms271 and 291 are on the same chassis could you use the 291 cylinder on the 271
Reed saws you need to measure the thickness of them to now witch way to tune them
I think you will hate that Poulan and it will just clog up your work shop. So selflessly I will help you out and store it for you. I never see the big Poulans in Australia, they are a definite want for me.
How can you approve a ms-441
That 461 for sale yet??
mighta been two beers, come to think of it.......
I’m curious about my new 565. I’d like to have it ported but it’s a auto tune. Will it need a different carb??
Auto tunes usually from my understanding have no issues fueling when ported. I think you'll be fine.
Tinman's saws thank you for your time and advice bud 🙂
@@retiredwelder1971 My pleasure!!
Do you have any practical insights on porting a strato_saw? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
No not really, i havent done many
I found out that the 572 ,562 rev high out of the box so they need to be torquey for my needs
I wish I had that understanding of engines! Obviously an expert on the topic . I’ll have to get Better at basic maintenance to start with
Hi Tinman I see what looks like an S10 stihl on your shelf, have you worked on an 08s and if so was there an improvement. Thanks from Wales UK.

Can I Ship you my saw to get running and then port for me? It was gifted to me because I was looking for a bigger saw. It’s a 83 360 auto. Great condition. Just to much compression and I can not pull it over.

Hello from Brazil my friend
Can you try to help me, please?
My chainsaw has a problem with excessive compression. But when I remove the spark plug the piston rotates normally. Even placing your finger in thze spark plug opening causes the piston to become extremely compressed again. Yesterday I installed a completely new cylinder and piston, but the problem remains.
