Chainsaw Repair

I call left just like a car. Front being bar tip, rear handle being rear. So as I hold in my hands recoil side is left to me.

That is the same way I view it, but unfortunately not everyone knows that is the "correct" way to say it. I was a ASE Master certified mechanic for 5 years and I learned to always ask if they meant passengers or drivers side.

This is from a IPL and shows the inside of the other type muffler, can't find any actual pictures just yet.

55 is a good mid range saw got 10-12 (all open port unfortunately).  I like em.  Better saw than it's replacement the 455 "tank" I have one.  Pulls a 20" OK that's what every body around here wants.  Hey man what you got in a 20".  I like a 16" on mine.  Had a closed a while back unfortunately something came loose and cut up the cyl.   If I remember it was rod bearing.  This was the most worn out saw ever in my posession.  Don't think I even saved the case too cut up around the chain catcher.  Usually do MM and install decomp on 55 Rancher model.  Got one I'm doing a little work on 65-70% intake and ex. open up the transfers a little gonna experiment with shape.

Steve is right I was poking fun.   On .325 vs 3/8" I usually use 3/8" chain on 55.
Steve,  posting some pic's of 55 OP transfer work.  Work is someone elses don't remember who did it.  I saved pic's for ideas on what to do.
