    Recently bought this saw for $128 on ebay and compared to the $500+ or so for a name brand, cant go wrong. I'm only a hobby cutter so it will serve me for a long time.

    Mine is a 45mm bore not sure on the stroke I may measure that also bore measured at the bottom of the cylinder 1.781inches with calipers. Also they are open transfers hope to put a timing wheel on it to get numbers this weekend. The cylinder is a direct bolt onto the lower casing it is not a clamshell cylinder and does not have the cylinder adapter block like the Husqvarna 346xp and many others in that series and size. So this neotec 6200 has aluminum crank casing with a bolt on cylinder like the old Husqvarna 55 in fact it appears the bolt pattern if not exactly the same is really close I will check that out further. Also it is a non-strato saw with a adjustable needle jet carburetor no modern limiting electronics just good old-fashioned old-school carburetion. Plastic covers our a bit Sharp but can easily be trimmed up to your liking. What are the bolts go into the aluminum housing things are a little janky at least on mine looks like the threads were not the best or when they put it together they used an impact and cross-threaded the screws however the screws come out and they go back in and they're usable just could use a little bit of improvement there but I have also seen that and worse in the leading brands lately. The ports are a little sharp for my liking in fact to the point that it left a scratch marks in the piston in my saw so I will be deburring the port openings before reassembly. I wanted to see if it was a single ring or double ring piston so I sent a borescope in and confirmed it is a two-ring piston as well as I saw a scratch in my piston on the intake side so I pulled the cylinder to see what was going on it appears that a bur on the intake port caused the scratch. The price is good the damage in my unit could be local just to my one unit also get is minimal I have seen worse in a $2,000 leading brand unit right out of the box. I don't think this will stop me from buying another one but the next one I will open up before I cranked it over I am glad I opened this one up before I ran it I think it has a lot of potential especially with a little bit of Port work I bet you'll have a real runner at least you have a solid appearing base to work with on like these newer brand name power saws. It will be interesting to see what stroke the crank is since I didn't find anything online stating what the bore or stroke was. I think with a little attention to detail at manufacturing and maybe some process rectification these could be one hell of a saw. Great video thanks for taking the time to put it out.

      Mine is 45.2mm bore and 34mm stroke best number I could get with dial calipers tail on the stroke that makes it a 54cc. I think mine is a 5800 with a 6200 sticker. Even then still short a couple cc's unless we need to count the ones in the squish band lol . Still a good buyand it's got potential for engine mods. But if anyone is interested the stock timing numbers are with base gasket installed . Exhaust 92° intake 70° transfers 108° with about a .056 squish band. Anyone porting these I would like to hear your thoughts.

    I also have the NCS6200 and after 3 tanks the tuning settled out [yes Scott gave me a few pointers on tuning]
    it has become my go to saw over the others
    my thought is to replace the torch plug with NGK [just because :) ] (just need the right number NGK to get)
    possibly another carb?
    it runs fine as it is.

    Is this saw still doing good for you? You put this video out 11-12 months ago. I'm in need / want of a mid-size saw for occasional "weekend warrior" type cutting of stuff from 4" - 12" and because I'm 55 I also don't want anything too large or heavy (nor too small) so I've been looking at various clone saws in the 50-70cc range that can fit my budget. I feel like this is a great happy medium of size, price and performance. I've been reading that most people seem happy with what NeoTec is putting out but wonder how much of that is just from the Stihl clones.
