Roger be interesting to see the difference in the 505's run back to back with same chain and wood.   

The 7901 I had that  that Big Dave Neiger put finger ports in made a difference I was told comparing with and without them. It was a work saw.

I am wondering if I can get 14,000 RPM's out of it once it is broke in.      I do not believe any of my other saws in that series will turn that kind of RPM.

I'd be more concerned what it holds in the cut instead of out of the cut.  The in the cut rpms is what counts IMHO.

I forgot to mention the oiler works great.   Thanks Kevin.   

Yea I agree it is the RPM's in the cut that count.    I will have to check that when I get a chance .    Right now I have cut most of my wood up and really have no way of testing until I get some more.

Did some more cutting today with the 505 mostly just noodling a bunch of uglys I have around.     I did find one piece of cedar that I could get a couple of test cuts in and tach the saw while in the cut.    Cedar was 12" across not very big.

No load tacked out at 13,800 today and still 4 stroking.
With the saw in the wood the tach went from 12,000 to 11,000.   I would like to later on get something I can square up and test it again.   
Probably with some better wood I am thinking it will drop down into the 10,000 range.   

I can then test a stock saw out at that time to see how it compares.

Dont worry about those pulleys Roger IMHO. Same pulleys in husky, jonsered ;).
Only time they break that I have seen is when old and brittle like any plastic pulley on any saw.

Plenty of them out there new. ;)

  I have modified and advanced the timing on a bunch of saws now and have never broken a pulley and I never use the decomps even if a saw has them. 
personally I do not like decomps.  That is just my personal preference.

Just wondering how you cut the inner baffle hole? 

Think that one 505 I sent you past owner had done that too from back side.  But yours looks way more opened up from pics inside there.

I first opened the front with a burr and then drilled some holes through the baffle and used a burr once again on it and tried to line all the openings up so I would have a straight shot from back to the front of the muffler.
