I have read things about doing somthing to a muffler to increce (sp) the preformance of the saw. I have a couple of salvaged muffflers and would maybe try somthing myself if I knew what to do and how. If I did do somthing to the muffler will it harm my saw? I really love my saws and work them a lot so I dont want to do any damage, what are your thoughts?
-
The 5000 500 490 590 is easy. Open the 2 halves and remove that inner baffle. Readjust carb. Never even had to open the outlet on one till it was woods ported or race. Takes on a mean sound afterword and better throttle and in cut IMO.
-
I know exactly what you are talking about had mine apart alot of times .
1. will this lac of back pressure harm the saw?
2. what kind of adjustments should I expect to make? Thanks for the responce, Jeff
-
No problems with back pressure the saw comes alive, trust me. The H will be adjusted richer. Do your L and I to your liking if needed.
-
Richer = open more ?
-
yes
My race ported 5000 with husky 272 carb and external transfers.

This was one of my runs with my race 5000. I had a 4th and 5th at MI at Fifelake and Luther. Had a coulpe 5th at Chardon making the finals 2 years in a row. This run was good for 4th at Murray KY.

what kind of wood is that Poplar/ Aspen ?
-
that really sounded good and cut very fast nice saw
-
Fresh Yellow Poplar aka Tulip poplar
Square thinned race chain $200 and alky with 12% nitro and 8 other ingredients give or take at $30 a gallon for Nitrodine pushing through it that day.
-
That is what it looked like ,i was hopeing i did not offend you by saying that, but it did look like poplar to me. The saw was running good it that what mine will sound like?
-
Let me see if I have video of a stock one with baffle pulled. That muffler had baffle pulled and the outlet opened up to match the exhaust port size.
Most races are poplar, aspen, pine. Have seen spruce once at Chardon Ohio.
This is the 2009 KY show. Just to save them.

Guess thats probably lots of fun.I just cut fire wood bout 6-7 coard per year.I have most of it out tree length right now.I may cut another 6 or so I like to have 2 years ahead.Most likely go at it again tomorrow.With Frank and a more open Muffler !
-
It was fun for a little while. But got old to me same races year after year and travel was a botch. I gave it up in 2010 after Webster and when my boy started playing HS football.
It was well worth it and didnt miss the traveling at all.
MOS do you have a stock 5000 video with baffle pulled? I dont, just a 490 with baffle still in it.
-
well very cool just the same now if I can get mine to cut rock maple or Hornbeam like that I"ll be good !
-
Got any pics of the 5000 family? I had maybe a dozen at one time and started selling them off and just kept 4 5000 and 1 490 with a 490 builder set back.
Can you pick the race one out? There is a easy tel if you know your 5000's.

Your saw you have now with the coktail mix. It was the most perfect run I have seen him do and that was all the saw had, he ran it perfect, start, change overs, etc. . If he would have had my saw with that run he would have won the show IMO.

Well men i'ts getting late for me so hope you all had a nice christmas day talk to you soon I'm sure. Jeff

-
Ron those times with hotsaw was in 10x10 cold start.
-
The one with brake handle missing is stock. ;) There is a tell tell. look at blue choke levers on the saws.
-
Ok then I can't see the tell. :(

Look at the far right..... No choke lever.
-
doh I know to look for that and still missed it ::) :P
-
Ron here is why the 4ci run was so slow. I forgot and wore my carhart jacket to the cant and when I pulled the starter habdle I was all messed up and pulled into my jacket. Lesson learned and I slipped up. Make sure to PIN it to start.
2 pulls to start and here is the run.
