Now we need a video of it running?
 
You sure know how to hurt a guy's feelings.

After, but it's still running pretty rich. I think we had it at about 12,800 out of the wood. I was about .5-.75 seconds off the fastest unmodded saws in the class.

what kind of wood? and yes its running rich for sure....my 460 is running in the 13800 14000 rpm's

Oh and I was just guessing I thought you just did the upgrade and that was a gtg...in the summer.
 
It was at the GTG this weekend and we were cutting in red oak.

Hi -

I keep telling myself I already have two great saws that do all I need to do....

But I still want the big bore kit!! Not this year. Unless a windfall drops my way...

Glad it's working well for you,
Mike
 
I burned a piston in my 6400 last fall, so naturally I couldn't put stock parts in it.
Today I put my 28" bar on to cut up a 4'+ red oak log that's been sitting in my driveway since last winter. I was pretty impressed. The 64cc did ok with a skiptooth chain. I don't think it's necessary with 80cc. Next time I buy a chain I think I'm gonna get a regular one.
