The initial gains from a dual port (or jungle mufflers as they're known as by yourself) will extend the life of the saw, as it runs cooler (at the expense of fuel and noise), the actual porting itself increases the engine wear, but not considerably so, as the bearings and rings are steel, and harder than the piston. Vibration doesn't increase as the engine generally doesn't run at a different rpm (or at least those ported to maintain the same rpm don't), which means the chain doesn't run faster, they produce more torque. Chain speed is generally controlled by sprocket gearing (7, 8, 9 toothed rims). If you need anymore info, I believe Gary has a ton of stuff on porting, and a badly piped 576

Yes, Scotland is the main area they will be reintroduced, as part of a hundred year conservation plan for the regeneration of Caledonia, but with a view that if the reintroduction is 'successful' that other areas will see the same plan for wolves. These places would be such as the forest of dean, the Peak District, Dartmoor, exmoor and other areas with substantial deer population. In these areas there tends to be a high proportion of livestock, either as cattle, sheep, horses and pigs. While this will not be an initial problem, after a few years, the population will have increased enough to pose a threat. Regarding electronic tagging, that only works whilst the wolf is alive, the collar is attached and the batteries have charge, all 3 are subject to rapid change.

Until someone got mauled! As for reintroduction, were on a small, densely populated land mass. Wolves would soon be in our cities, we've already had problems with foxes and dogs, why the hell would we add wolves?! For, anybody unfamiliar with the reintroduction policy, elk and bears are also on the list!

Answer has been the same since I heard the plan 5 years ago, a big, fat no! As someone who keeps animals outdoors, it would mean I would have to buy a rifle, the danger, costs and implications would see them eradicated as soon as they were reintroduced!

It won't noodle if you cut across the diameter, it produces dust like milling. To noodle a saw, you have to cut along the timber grain. But jumping means it's either blunt, depth gauges are too high, or the chain and bar are worn.

Never trust the paper figures! And a larger displacement has higher torque. Then in terms of technology and design, the huskys are superior. But in terms of weight, it's 10cc smaller, would you run the same comparison between an ms261 and 560xp?

Longest I believe is 24", although if you used Stihl .325 chain, you could use a big, hard-nosed bar on an 880. Best would be the hardest wearing bar.

135 or 435, those are the choices, the ms181 is only just over 30cc, whereas the huskys are about 10cc more! Peatff, there are no saws currently produced that aren't 3-piece cranks afaik, the only one-piece crank I know of is my 090, which is an old replaceable big-end type

pull the other one! 30" bar would bog like hell!

Hyway or meteor only

2.7kW (3.7hp) power rating and 3.8nm of torque for the 041

I don't know what data you've been comparing but the 041 is nowhere near the power of modern saws! The same sided ports lowered the power output but increased (slightly) of the saw, whilst the max rpm is a slow 11k rpm! The 162, 262, 357, 362 and 560 all run rings round it, with the 560 as king, the Stihl equivalent saws are the 034, 036, 340, 360, 341, 361 and 362, also capable of running rings round it! Those are the size equivalents, although the power equivalents are 50cc saws!

As much as I would love to get hammered (trust me, I would love it!) unfortunately I'm in work tomorrow for a course, despite being on forced holiday!

Let's face it, in 10 years, when Stihl and husky launch the new saws, there will be uproar about how good the 201 was, how powerful and fast the 540 was, how flimsy the new 202 and what ever husky call the new 40cc topper (probably the 740), blah blah blah, the 200t will be remembered as the big, heavy brick with bags of torque, which if somebody appears with, nobody will want to use on account of its weight! Sound familiar? Only currently, those models are the 201, 200t and the 020avs! I believe the same was said when the 020avs was replaced by the 020t? Given that the 200t was pulled in 2010/2011, part availability is only a few more years now, 020t parts are largely discontinued, with flippy cap parts replacing them, the 020av parts are rarer than rocking horse crap. It's high time we all progress, the new saws are faster and more powerful, they break easier because they're lighter. If you're so careless to get it stuck in forks, shock-load the components by dropping it or clumsy and drop them, learn to take more care of the tools you need to earn your living. Finally, the 200t was crap! However you look at it, it was crap! The carburettor would break down after a few months, the av went soft and sheared, the kill wire broke down as soon as you looked at it, it had more substantial leaks than the titanic, it had an intake pipe that either split or pulled off, the oiler blocked by the third fill and then it pissed oil out on the floor, flippy caps snapped, leaked or refused to lock, the exhaust bolts ejected themselves, the plastic would get that caked in crap it cooked the cylinder, handles snapped, bearings seized, and when the casing was split, they'd eject themselves! You ask any techie/mechanic what saws they worked on the most, 200t is top of the list! But they were such good saws with no problems...

He's on a closer wavelength than me, your posts made less sense than Mr plogs when I first joined!

Interesting, considering the clutch itself is off a completely different saw (1137 - the ms192) The worm gears are the same!

As I said, it's only the model number that is different, they may interchange, I know the 200t and 009 match

One, don't add 2, you get next to no adjustment! Rich, you can run the saw on whatever combo you feel most comfortable on, I know my colleagues don't like my 560 as its a nutter! I would recommend trying out different combinations to find what works best for you.

I would imagine that they would, only the first 4 digits differ, I also know the drum off an 009 fits the 200t

It's hard to tell if they're the same part number, some parts are given several numbers to stop people using old stock. Without physically trying to fit the parts, I couldn't say if there is a difference.

It's an ms193t! Edit: just checked the date

You'll have to change the nose sprocket on the bar. You also need to make sure all the parts match, as usually Stihl chain is .063, whereas husky is .058 gauge! Also husky uses k095 mount bars, Stihl used k041 iirc. Also, running 3/8 8t requires clutch drum no. 575 26 10-04, as that is the standard size splined drum. My current (stock) 560 runs 9t .325 on 18" b&c, it runs like a freight train! But as stubby says, pull the spark screen out, or it'll be coked in 10 minutes!

Not following you there spud, that part no. was for the 201 1/4" sprocket assembly (with worm gear)

1145 640 2051

Yes, husky shares the d009 mount (the d actually stands for dolmar mount)
