It's not right , looks like Horse chestnut your cutting as well that saw should destroy that ,it's as soft as a very soft thing.

 

That thing is a laser in Chestnut. That right there in the vid is Beech. That's an 044 pulling a 30 inch bar buried in 30-36" of beech, holding 11,500 RPM in the cut, and occasionally bouncing up to 12.

I'll just leave this here:

 

 

These puppies begin life loud. You do a mod like I just did, and it becomes easily the loudest 50cc saw I have ever used. And it also becomes, by far, the most powerful 50cc saw I have ever used with a simple muffler mod. In fact, it's like a 35% improvement in cut time in that wood(and the last few inches are with the bar buried). It is more powerful than the Echo CS520 I ported a few years back. I sort of want a 261 now...

I like my one standard but that one is in a different league.:thumbup:

hi spud

 

thankyou for the advice. here is a pic of the new duel port exhaust fitted. i will report how it runs after next weeks work. but i can confirm it sounds amazing!! :thumbup:

 

Looks like a neat job, a muffler mod by itself often adds a decent amount of go to a saw and on some saws is an easy option - especially on Clam style engines where porting would be a bigger job than on a conventional vertically split crankcase with the cylinder being easier to remove.

 

Hope it goes OK, always good to comare a modded saw with a non modded one.

 

Just had a report back that one of my ported 372XPs was trashing a 395XP on the same diameter wood - nice to get this sort of info as I rarely get to use many of my creations!
