@@kevinz763 good point... They'll outlaw spray cans next..lol.. they did a bang up job on fuel can spouts .....

@@matthewknight5641 I have a few mmws sitting on shelf.. I'll get to them eventually.. right now I'm into a batch of hyway GX that doesn't Freeport. Not sure what I have left... And next batch will be a toss up that I'll find out when I see them...lol

@@Biscuit1225 appreciate that. Trying to do more as it seems like folks dig it.

@@wayneanderson991 that's wild feedback.. guess I'll keep on w hyway.. I'm seeing FT listing some as viton rubber now, but don't know how/if I can differentiate.. I ordered some and they are just another shade of brown.. I'll throw them in acetone out of curiosity

@@Michael_Onalech I can't win with sound. I try the Bluetooth headphones, sometimes they sound fantastic. For me. And then sometimes the sound gets out of sync. And when I don't use it sometimes you guys can't hear me. I need a better setup, I know I do.

@@CreativeFishDesignsCharlotte You like that one?

@theoldfellaDigwell that's a good idea.. the gal would dig it

@@GlynnRussell-ew3pp those saws have always been one of my favorites. I love them

@@bulletproofsaws not 100% sure farmertec is still getting cylinders from hanakawa my saw came with one you can tell by the funny looking letter A on the cylinder . I was told that farmertec was getting that model saw from hanakawa witch is really Hehong tooling . Really nice parts but farmertec has really stepped up their game !

@@matthewknight5641 there's not a thing wrong with that. I think any Porter who's done any time in this will tell you the same thing. You try things, you test things. You make mistakes, you have little wins. But doing it on a $30 cylinder isn't such a tragic loss.

@bulletproofsaws and that's exactly why I buy a ton of those 30 dollar cylinders. I've had a few turn out really good but I've ruined an embarrassing amount of them lol. it's just a hobby but I love it

@@matthewknight5641 until you have a dead on repeatable recipe for a saw, the more things you try, the more ones you'll ruin. I think even the best guys in the world, actually, I know the best guys in the world ruin cylinders. It happens.

@bulletproofsaws I have built some that turned out great but it was after several attempts. I love messing with them and kinda like the challenge and just seeing a good improvement but my best ported saws are the ones I got from a professional guy that ports saws all the time.

@@matthewknight5641 I'm thinking you mean Aaron l, And I have to check out more of his work. I think I've seen some cool stuff from him. There's some fantastic porters out there. A bunch of scammers too, but the good guys are really good

@bulletproofsaws yes sir it's that Aaron. he builds a lot of saws for people and I've never seen a person disappointed with anything he's done. he seems to be a stand up guy and does great work.

@matthewknight5641 there are some guys so darn good it's scary.. I'm often impressed by those fellas

@@lastironcowboy the clone is overall decent but can be fiddly.. But once you get them dialed in I like them quite a bit. The bars they come with are trash. And some have either carb or coil issues. But if you get those straight, those little saws rip nice

@@bulletproofsaws I might have to invest in a couple. Curious to see the numbers on a ported saw. I'll have to look that up

@lastironcowboy I think. Charlie briscoe did some 543s. I'm not positive and I might be confusing him with somebody else. I don't think they're the best platform for porting but they do get some more power out of them. And it's a nice small. Saw. The monkey wrench in that is always going to be the 346 XP. I don't think that's all can be beat

@@bulletproofsaws most of my saws are the two series but I do have a couple of 350s that I plan on learning porting on. Now I'm wondering if there is a cheaper platform to learn from.

@@benjineeringtoday8233 that's a great easy way to get multiple sizes fast... Plus the BIL does the work. Big win... Lol

@@BigJohns_firewood really appreciate that....

@ do you know when you will have the 395s back in stock?

@@BigJohns_firewood I think I have a handful possibly in the next week or two. But I'm not sure and I have to check

@@ericjohnson9080 I just talked about that a little in a video from this past week. I think it's in the title of the video

@@wayneanderson991 thanks Wayne.. been so busy with the holiday I'm just getting back to normal... Was still doing saw work on Xmas..lol and Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you also

@@ericfore not yet.. Bluesaws just got the first ones and have more questions than answers

Correction.. I will have stock of these in a few weeks

@@bulletproofsaws What do you anticipate them costing?

@@pewsician2388 I agree with you. But I thought for some reason I remember something about good quality. Stainless will have zero magnetism, whereas cheap stainless Will have slight magnetic properties. I think there's tons and tons of cheap stainless on the market, BBQ grills, yeti mugs, etc. All being recycled. So it makes sense to me that we're going to see more stainless, " stainless" In products.

Yep cheap stainless will get surface rust cause of the iron content but the quality stuff no rust no magnetism.

@BentIronBins that's what I thought.. couldn't quite recall clearly.. both the OEM Stihl and the FT have slight magnetism.. what will be interesting is seeing how the polished FT version blues.. it's almost a chrome polish so I HOPE it'll look 8nteresting as it colors.. the Stihl ones look blah...

@@danonly7 good question.. the OEM ones I have in stainless or whatever the silver actually is all darken . These are far shinier and I don't know if being smooth will change anything with darkening.. has potential to look cool, but I'm real not sure..

@@joereynolds475 lol.. it definitely has antibibe, it's the rubber bushings so it's not springs like on a husky. But it is antivipibe. I'm going to have to start mine today and take notice of the vibration. Just the fact that I've never noticed it before makes me think it's not overly bad. Try running a Stihl 07 0... That'll rattle your feelings out

@@kevinz763 should be about 2 to 3 weeks...if it's an emergency I can see what I have set aside for custom builds.

@bulletproofsaws no hurry just want to order a couple whenever they come in they always seem to be out or only 1 in stock lol

@@Guitar_Builder on my dual 660 setup, which I don't use much anymore, I used a break and cable from like a 10-speed bike. Put a tiny hole through the handle and through the trigger. Ran the cable through it. Attach the brake to the mill and that worked perfect for the throttle and actually I had it running two throttles forthe two saws

Oh that's cool to hear! I'm glad it worked out. I'm going to do an in-depth video because I got to do another batch of carbs. I was just looking everywhere to wrestle up as many as I could and I think I only came up with six, And that'll only cover my bulletproof orders.. I got to get a bunch more on order pronto

Hey Wayne, no I knew it wasn't a tank vent. I'm pretty hip to that and could diagnose that in about 2 seconds. I actually just didn't update video on this. But also I'm curious about your experience with the crank seals. For maybe 5 years ago. I did have problems with crank seals from farmer tech, I generally still use highway seals in everything, however, the few things that I have left farmer tech seals in. They seem okay. But you know how that goes. Your mileage may vary

@@bulletproofsaws I find the brown farmer tech seals to be of poor quality. They get hard and wear faster than say the highway seals. I just don't take the chance anymore with the brown seals from farmer tech I just replace them for peace of mind. I see farmer tech has some new seals now(not brown) they may be improved now but I don't know that yet.

@wayneanderson991 yeah they have me chasing my tail on seals. Some are being labeled viton rubber which is great. Some aren't. I get packs from farmer tech occasionally with highway seals in them. Black highway seals. Then the next time it'll be back to farmer tech brown orange. I got some in recently that might be the viton ones, but they're not really labeled like that on the package. Goofy stuff

@@bulletproofsaws When it comes to replacing seals, gaskets and rubber components I try to stay with Taiwan made or OEM parts. This saves time and money in the long run.

@wayneanderson991 I agree. I generally use the highway fuel lines, seals, intake boots all of that stuff. But lately I've been seeing a lot of good luck with the farmer tech stuff. Not saying it's better and not saying I've really tested it out hard myself. But it has been looking a bit better. So I've been couching what I tell people I use highway. I still use highway, however folks are having luck with the farmer tech. I just don't know personally. Well I guess I kind of do know personally cuz I got guys with saws running for us with the stock stuff. Often. I think inconsistency in what you get is the biggest problem

@@Cyclegenix I thought I posted details in this thread... I'll make a specific video on it later

@ thank you so much! I tried looking but didn’t find it. I will keep an eye out. Destroyed 2 stihl gear sets in two days with 72” bar :/

@@Cyclegenix yeah it happens.. especially w long bars.. you guys be super careful.. were your OEM ones silver or black. They seem to have changed them

@@bulletproofsaws the OEM ones are black. There is definitely lots of slop on the gear end. So the ring gear end up pushing the pinion out of alignment and then chewing it up.

@Cyclegenix the old OEM are black.. the new OEM ones are silver on the crown gear.. interestingly OEM 660 has enough slip to put a bushing in as well.. I suspect the problematic slop is the thimble the crown sits on. I haven't looked at them in a while

@@deutscherfischer55 just put up another vid talking about that

@@Aaron_A_Lynch yea that's what farmertec would tell customer to do.. on something like that we swap the saw out for a new one.. luckily it's not a common thing...

⁠does it then become a test saw for crazy mods?

@@benjineeringtoday8233 it's always been kind of a test. Saw, that I've been going out of my way to abuse and blow up. The only thing I really go back and forth on doing is some Port work on the cylinder. But out of any cylinder that I personally don't want to pour this, is it. It's small with small tiny uppers. It's got the ring around the base. In my opinion there's guys who are so good at porting. This is for them not for a hack like me

Scotts the man!

Glad you like them!

Oh you were darn close to being right. And I was betting heavy with you on that. But of course it was something much more stupid. I just didn't update video

@@IndianaDoug hey Doug, do you by any chance have any pictures of that? Zama 361 carb? I have one of those that I acquired somewhere and it's kind of odd looking to me. And it's missing the LA screw. Hit me on a message if you can get me a picture of one

@@bulletproofsaws no. I was saying “Zamas” in general. My bulletproof 361 now has an 880 carb on it and is made for nitro methanol fuel.

@IndianaDoug All I'm saying is nitro's cheating. Lol. No, but have you ever seen a Zama 361 carb? It's an odd looking sucker. And I'm just not hip to it because I have one and only one so I don't know if they all look weird like this

@ I have not seen the Zama version. I didn’t know it existed.
