201 porting

[Giles D]

Is it worth getting one of my 201's ported?.... I hear it doesn't make a huge difference with mtronic products. If so who can do it as I'm guessing spud is not taking on new customers🤷‍♂️

Spud is retired me thinks . He has ported most of my saws , petemate ported my 560 and recently Crocky ported my 395 . I think Mark ( crocky ) is the only one doing it now and I can highly recommend him . And yes its worth it . @Crocky

All these saws getting ported have you had the old boy extended a few inches to stubby 💪

I'm less sure on a 201 though, consensus seems to be most of the gain available is from opening the exhaust outlet bigger, then a bit more from a small timing advance. If you need a lot more power get an MS400 sent up.

90 % of these saws were ported years ago before the old boy needed extending and now its too late !

I used to open up the muffler in a discrete way so it wasn't obvious and fit a plastic mesh air filter as it gave a decent increase and cost the customer a lot less than a full port job. 

When you can get good gains from simple mods, you do them and charge the customer for exactly that. 

Speed is a question of money, how fast do you want to go?

Do WCS do a muffler part like they do for the 200.... or any other brand for that matter.

Alternatively how much should I open up the muffler?

I bore the outlet hole out so it is still shrouded by the outlet hole cover.
