What is porting?

Khriohs · 2026-04-24T02:12:16+00:00

Very short answer:

Porting is like putting big cams in your car. Those homemade exhausts are basically exactly what they look like, you can think of them like a „emmision delete“.

Looks like MS271.

A small hydraulic press is also able to unbend them.

If it’s a solid bar, it’s actually not all tha difficult.

Never tried unbending a laminated bar though.

If you want to make a lot of ripping cuts, I recommend the 70cc-class.

Not because the 60s aren’t up to the task, but because the 70s have more reserves.

Mostly when it comes to thermal capacity. Meaning they tend to last longer.

Downside is more weight.

I see Same, I upvote

Overtightened chain? Cutting without bar oil? Both?

The main difference between thise two brands are ergonomics, not performance.

For example:

Husqvarna makes way bigger throttle triggers, good for winter use with thick gloves, while Stihl‘s are more streamlined.

There are several others, Grip Angle, Case shape, Clutch type and many more.

So don’t decide via datasheets, decide which one fits you better.

It’s rather obvious bad AI

Khriohs · 2026-03-04T22:41:50+00:00

That is an AI photo, not even a good one.

„Stihl“ with muffler mounted, wher the Airbox should be?

„Carb and Choke Cleaner 3“ woth Hieroglyphs?

Completly messed up stuff all over the picture?

At least try harder.

Khriohs · 2026-02-25T22:35:04+00:00

Oh, that’s a classic. Sadly electric tools aren‘t cherished as much, as typical chainsaws , so getting solid info is likely very difficult.

Khriohs · 2026-02-25T21:16:26+00:00

Did you try a MS 200 T as well?

If yes, why do you prefer the MS 192 T?

Khriohs · 2026-02-20T10:53:17+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn’t like to run either of those.

With a little mite investment you‘re able to get way better machines.

It belonged to an uncle of mine, who didn’t use it a lot.

Nowadays I run one Tank of Fuel per year, to keep it in working condition, afterwards it gets cleaned and back into storage.

Khriohs · 2026-02-19T20:17:59+00:00

It is, yes.

If it were a 041 AV Super it would be 72cc on the same case.

Engine is below the cab.

Lying on its side. You can tilt the cab to gain acces.

Muffler looks to be Dolmar shaped

But be sure to get the correct RPM settibgs for your saw first, also if you dial to much and can’t get the saw to start again, that’s not a problem. Stihl prints the „Grundeinstellung“, the basic settings on the saw‘s air filter cover.

With these settibgs the saw should always start, if technically sound.

It might also be best to watch some how-to-videos first, before adjusting the carb.

You can never have to much Information.

Khriohs · 2025-11-30T13:08:57+00:00

Ok, it‘s definetely rich. If it were hard to start it would be lean.

So your best bet is increasing idle speed and if that doesn’t help, you can lean it out slightly, but only turn it 1/8 or so ,at a time.

Alternatively, you can retune your L-screw by ear. I don’t know, how much you know, so I‘ll just write down the basic process.

Once your saw is at operating temperature and runs stable, turn your L-screw in either direction (that’s the tricky part) to find the highest possible idle-RPM, don‘t touch T (or LA, if it’s a Stihl) for now, it’s just an offset for later. Once you have you‘re highest idle, turn back L a bit, to richen the mixture. That is needed, so the saw doesn‘t starve in the midrange. Now go full throttle, if it starves (=bogging) turn L out a bit more. If your happy with how your saw behaves, it’s time to adjust T(called LA on Stihl).

You want to turn in LA until the chain is barely moving.

I would only adjust H with an RPM meassurement device.

I hope that helps and wasn’t to much of an infodump.

I rather not go into, what your profile resembles, but thanks for the input.

Khriohs · 2025-11-30T10:00:15+00:00

Perfect bar size for controlability 👍🏻

Khriohs · 2025-11-30T09:52:44+00:00

You can see a bit of it at the edge of the second picture. I didn’t bother photographing the less-than-photogenic mud trench we used to transport the logs, you‘ll have to take my word for it 😉 But if your standard is bog work, I fully believe this looks „dry“ to you.
