Place its looking way better both saws running damn good

[@griffinphilemon5083]

If those transfers were smaller, similar to the mcculloch 10-10 6 transfer design, I think they'd perform better. A lot of volume in those open ports for the size of the saw. like you said, though, they are good runners.

[@jeremiahcox3151]

Are the transfers fairly shallow on those?

[@griffinphilemon5083]

@jeremiahcox3151 shallow and narrow. Seems like old man mcculloch was going for a lot of velocity while still having relatively good flow into the combustion chamber with 6 transfers. Having about 14-18° of blowdown and some 50° of crankcase compression he had some Interesting port concepts that all seemed to work.

[@nseric1233]

Both of these saws are available with closed port cylinders, husky put the open port on them to make a lower rpm cheaper homeowners saw. If you've seen how some guys use saws you'd get why husky makes the homeowner saws low rpm/power, some guys never sharpen chains lol. If you want more power you can swap to a better cylinder, husky wasnt after max power with these cylinders.

[@jeremiahcox3151]

@@griffinphilemon5083definitely sounds like a recipe for velocity even with the short blowdown. The extra crankcase compression helps I’m sure. I gotta get a couple of 10-10’s to play with!
