Do the Cat mod on the muffler if you've not done so already.

no there’s one extra model the  ps-352 ea3601 it’s a reed valve design 

with two reed valves you gotta watch the video to see how it works

the saw is around the same size as a 242xp

If you only need to log up small stuff the battery saws have come a long way - check out this video comparing a 50cc saw to the new husqy battery saw - it is surprising.

Not sure how many cuts you'd get before the battery would need charging if you were to get a longer bar and sink it into 'overbar' length timber ?

I was thinking of buying a stihl 241 

but ended up buying a old 242 instead.

254 was the " bread and butter " saw back in the 80s . ? Massive compression I seem to remember .
