I had forgotten that you had this saw and thought you have gotten another one is all.   

I don't remember you mentioning that before about the piston.   I appreciate your selling it to me.

Well how did it do.   How do you think it compares to a 505.
Myself I think my 475 cuts just about as good as my 505.

This is the 475 using the BB372 piston. Hair more intake duration (pic of all those pistons in a row pin to pin shows this).
Ran great and always has IMO.  This stock 475 was out cutting a woods ported 505 topend on a 475 at poulan gtg in cant 10x10 timed cuts. My 20" chain made up the difference. That was with me operating both saws. Boy that irked the woods ported owner.   :D :D :D :D  he kept sharpening his round chain till I finally got 1 quicker cut with his.  :P   ;D

The chain needs some work (as I didnt touch it yet looked ok for test but not up to my likings)  but was surprised how well 77cc pulled full comp 119dl in rip cut. 
 I could dawg it in to slow it down in rip cut, but you can do that on anything even bucking.

I really cant tell much difference in the 6cc difference of 505 475.  Same saws just 2mm smaller bore 475.

Too bad they don't make those anymore?
We should share what we know... someone may learn...

Chain is getting close to the witness mark but sure glad I didnt have to hand file this thing. I put it on the grinder then checked the rakers .025.

Cleaned the surface rust off the bar and went over the rails.

Then  thought I would see if the husky homemade clutch cover would clear noodles better. Nope.

At the last GTG I had the 505 I got from you and my 475.   Both saws ran excellent and cut through those big pieces of oak they had there with very good authority.   I was very pleased to say the least.   

Your right Jim too bad they do not make them any more. 

Gatekeeper I have a 2083 also but have never ran it.   I need to get it out and get off my butt and see how it does.   I have some big pieces of ash here that needs cut up.
