Thank you for this video, I now understand a lot better about open and closed port, as well as other aspects of cylinder design.

Good vid!!

Now, I'm sure I am taking my obligatory shots at a long dead horse.. But I wonder why some saws are of the open port design?? Is it purely a manufacturing cost thing?
Swedish, you know, like the chef.

Yes it's a cost thing, open ports are cheaper to make, most closed port 50cc  saws cut faster than 55 to 60cc open port saws,  the one exception would be a Dolmor 6400 which has huge open ports and cuts good for 64 cc.  Steve
