If you could choose one saw that needs a tune up....
....what would it be ?
I'm interested because I have a few years experience tuning two-strokes and frankly the exhaust design on saws has more in common with a 1950 DKW than a modern Aprilia. Drilling holes in a flawed design will not help much, the shape is just wrong. So, if I fancied designing a proper pipe for a saw, which one would be most popular ? Bear in mind that the pipe would be a fair bit bigger than standard and might need some awkward routing - otherwise the manufacturers would have done it themselves - I won't pretend to be better at this than the manufacturer so specialist applications might be required. Any ideas ? |

Prob a MS200T but I doubt it would be very practical.
Failing that a 046/MS460 since they are a brilliant saw from the start.

I'm wondering if something half way between that full size efficient pipe and the stubby inefficient standard pipes might be possible. |
