288xp transfer porting tips!! making a 288 rip for my buddy Caleb

[@johnw5242]

On the subject of being a good Dad - I find value in the following ideas: 1- Don't raise "the kid(s) you always wanted," raise the one's God actually gave you. 2- Duct tape can fix just about everything, but people friwn upon it's use to make the kid sit still. :) Good to see ya! I don't get nearly enough time to drop by as often as I'd like, but I enjoy the time I do spend when I can. Been praying things keep moving forward bit by bit on that knucklehead. It's a good "Dad Bike." A silent gentleman, as it were. Of course I love chainsaws - who doesn't? But hear my voice as just one of many subscribers, I *really* hope to see that bike coming back together, too! Thanks for the great content, Tin, and thank Mrs. Tin and Min-Tin for sharing some of uoir journey with us. 👍

You’re a good husband and father, and you’re making me want to port a saw.

[@tinmanssaws]

Do it

[@andyplage6590]

@Tinman's saws I've a few cheaper saws one being a McCulloch branded husqvarna So hoping to see improvements on that with new Exaust etc

[@dennisconstantine624]

Tinman,theres one born every day, pick out the good and reject the crap. Ive learnt heaps from your channel, take care, Cheers from NZ

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Tinman you are definitely an awesome guy and one I’d definitely enjoy being around and learn from!!! You are honest and don’t mind to mess up!! That is awesome!!! Love watching your channel and I will definitely continue to watch all your videos!!! Remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!

[@tinmanssaws]

I appreciate you saying that

Hey, Tinman, haters gonna be hatters, you still have 36,599 subs that really appreciate you work and dedication to helping others build saws. To bad youtube doesn't have a unsubscribe button that only you can control. Then you could punt the hater(s). Also I learned a long time ago even negative feedback is just feedback. Sometimes people are just entitled. Don't lose any sleep over it, people like that are always out there, living in there own little world of self-worth. Great video as always. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

[@jimhofoss9982]

288 was my go to saw bucking on the landing. skiptooth 404 chain with short rakers. effortless cuts, fantastic bucking saw. Not something to go on a long hike with tho. But the extra weight doesn’t hurt when you’re in the wood 95% of the day.😀

[@johnpoffenbaugh7172]

Nice job Tinman. Very educational and quality stuff. Ignore the fools and continue doing what you do. Hope baby Charlie and Mrs. Tinman are doing well.

[@Ceemysix]

Love the content! I’ve got a 288 kit coming with a Meteor top end. Thanks for doing all the 288 vids. It will be a big help.

[@Kerm666]

You are a very kind person, we need more of you in the world. Some people aye 🤦😅

[@zachgordon9531]

As a father myself, time that you get to spend is super important. As a super busy person it is more about quality than quantity. As men we don't always get the time we want. Make the best of it.

[@StuInTheSticks]

If someone dislike's or is jealous of you just to be hurtful it mean's your doing something right, that's been my personal experience in life. Anyways keep on doing what your doing the rest of us watch your channel because of your honesty in what you do and sharing your time with everyone here on KZbin. Thank's Tinman take care.

[@vintagesawyer6246]

I like the way you share your thought process to porting. 👍🇨🇦

[@aaronpowell4885]

Agreed, humble and modest is the best. We've all met someone like that. Thanks again for sharing your moves and tips with us!

[@jeffc9354]

Hey Tinman love your videos I might have a 046 arctic carburetor for your 044❤ keep up the good work man

[@DavidBergman1776]

Did my first "port" job on a free Chinese project saw that I picked up. Raised and widened the exhaust, lowered intake slightly. No transfer work since they're open. We'll see how it works. Curious to see if it runs better. Obviously I'll get better, just a start.

[@andyplage6590]

Love to hear about the results some 50+cc Chinese saws maybe have plenty of tuning Potential with gains to Yield

[@justbehandy]

Just found out about your channel as I wanted to learn more about my saw project and what I can do better. Taking a Mac Timber Bear and putting a 28 inch bar on it. Thank you for keeping it real. Blessings from Just Be Handy.

[@Buttonsfirewood34]

Thank you Tinman! I love the content. I am newer to the chainsaw journey. A lot of the content is a great learning experience. Opens my eyes to what might be. Keep up the great work.

[@Joe2328]

am swapping some firewood for a 288xp in a couple of weeks - think im going to have to have a go at this!! Thanks Tinman

[@bryanherbert5454]

Tinman I love watching your humility is refreshing I just started porting a bit and love your way of explaining things. Love to your family

[@OpenAirAdventure]

I appreciate you too. There is no road map just a big dad heart and lots of patience.

[@sagebrushhillbilly4655]

Good shots showing how those windows feed the transfers, brother. It doesn't get much more clear than that.

[@jaholl97]

So glad I found your channel. Thanks for the video. Your knowledge makes me feel brave enough to work on my own saw.

[@chrismuncey3861]

This worked out perfect I'm mapping out my 281xp this week this gave me some great info man!!!

[@coolestguyontheplanet723]

I'm doing a 281xp also. I need to replace piston. Are you doing a pop up or gasket delete ?

[@chrismuncey3861]

@@coolestguyontheplanet723 So far I haven't been able to find a pop-up piston but I'm waiting to hear back from Ironhorse about trying to use a 272xp piston. I done a gasket delete 2 years ago and it didn't seem to help much squish dropped from 0.040 to 0.025 compression changed from 9.4:1 to 9.56:1.

[@billyb.9878]

You my friend are a pleasure to watch. I really like how you relate your work (tinman 😊) to your porting. No offense, but I kinda think your like a mad scientist. I was just running one of my 288 s yesterday. It's stock but I'm 71. Ran 3 tanks of fuel thru her. Made my last cut & it jusr died. So I get home and after a little search I find the spark plug died. WEIRD. Later

[@afleetcommand]

Good stuff we see & learn here of course we are going the watch and support, its a two way street :)

[@cliffegle4071]

Always appreciate the way you share your knowledge! My 288se needs a new coil. It’s the two piece. Any suggestions? Which one and where I should go. I’d like an unlimited one. If calling wolf creek is your suggestion just reply wolf n I’ll know. Thanks again!!! I’m really enjoying this build👍

[@carlkoeller2276]

You have inspired me to port my spair 046 that should my #be on timing.

Awesome video. Can you do the same with a 385?

[@richarddavis5841]

I have 1976 285 I ported it and did change timeing it very well I took .015 off all transfer my buddy has a new 660 and my saw out cuts his saw

[@pnwbassin116]

Do you have any tips for widening the transfers? Both transfers on the left side the platting chipped away really bad. Once I ground through the platting the bur bit caught it and took out a big chunk. The right side of the transfer ground fine though not sure what I did wrong

[@teamflashtv]

You feel 281's perform similarly in practice? That looks vastly different from my OEM 281xp cylinder, in particular the transfers.

[@jjm3254]

👍

[@nip917]

My "Dad's" manual must have got lost in the mail. Just like my father's. Lol. There's no manual, I always just wanted to do my best. That's all you can do.

[@JohnDoe-fp8mn]

Hey Tinman, what do you do to transfers in an an open port cylinder to increase air flow?

[@JohnDoe-fp8mn]

Got a 61 cylinder I wanna play with.

[@tinmanssaws]

Same thing I make them flow better.

[@Saleen35000]

It kind of defeat all i heard and saw from tons of posts ive read over time , small crankcase volume saws , the one that have stuffers like a 562 and a 357 , tend to have its power on top and not much low end grunt , and saws with big crankcase like the older sawd seems to have a lot of low end grunt and not rev very high. What do you think about that ?

[@ToddAdams1234]

Tinman, why do Husky cylinders have a skirt that fits in the body but Stihl does not? If you come across a different brand of mounting gasket for your body than your cylinder will it work (as long as you can get the rest of the goods to work)? What about the same “type” of scenario if a person takes for instance a 372xp cylinder from an XTORK unit a uses a longer stroke crank. That person “might” have to investigate a different brand of saw body that he might be able to get that longer stroke crankshaft to fit into for those desired results. I’m just asking someone who has some dead saws around that might want to check these things out. If you don’t mind taking the time to investigate it then it might be interesting.

[@henryroberts7098]

Hi Tinman. Can i ask why you didn't drop the transfer all the way to the bottom of the cylinder and perhaps remove the wall in that section completely?

[@tinmanssaws]

I decoded I didn't want quite that much case capacity on this build.

[@henryroberts7098]

@@tinmanssawskeeping the case capacity down to increase the pressure generated in the bottom end prior to the transfers opening, to help counteract the small transfers?

[@vascopires2045]

do you open up the widows on the piston or at least clean up the casting marks?

[@tinmanssaws]

Yep

[@kevinparent8843]

youre not afraid to cut that low in the cylinder ? i did my 266se swap 272xp i did same profile on transfers but the cylinder skirt is thiner so didnt tried to grind that low in the cylinder. i stopped where the skirt began. dont know if i did good, but we will try it out.

[@garengtutorial8923]

Bagus gan 👍

[@jonathanzimmerman2976]

If you were to get a hole is there anything you have ever tried to fix your mistake that works or is it a wright off

[@tinmanssaws]

Jb weld could work. But for me if I ground through I'd scrap the cylinder and start again.

[@jonathanzimmerman2976]

I wasn't sure I would try it for myself but not to sell you are a great help and I thank you God bless
