Randy's 261CM ran with Brad's 361 on the dyno. When I used a ported 261CM, I sold my ported 361. Once you run a ported 261, you understand there's no need to go to a 362 or a 562 unless you need more bar or weight.

I've not not run a ported ms261, so I'll not knock it. But I've run ported 357s' & 359s' that were faster and stronger than some ported ms361s'. Lot's of variables here.

My ZCS0h26 and MMMS261 are both BadAss.
The OP asked for recommendations on a 60cc saw

The 562 looks impressive on paper, but I keep hearing of the carbs having issue
The main variable is the 261 weighs more than a pound less. As long as it is out there, I won't be running a 60cc saw.
I gave him the best option. You are all welcome.

That one is high on the list, but I like a ported 357xp better.
If restricted to a brand new 60cc saw, I'd likely go with a Jred 2260...

Yes, but Randy's 346's will hand his 261's their hat and show them the door.

So two reasons not to bother with a 60cc saw unless you need more bar.
So, Randy, which high strung saw do you think will last longer?

One of the reasons I like the 261CM is removing the baffle gets you about a 30% gain. Some saws won't get you that much with an MM and porting.
Don't forget a 30% gain in cutting speed is VERY different to a 30% increase in HP output. Some of the figures and numbers that get thrown around here under the illusion of increased HP are funny at best.
60 would be 562xp, then 262xp , I can't wait to get a 346 xp ne.
I wasn't impressed with the 361 or 362 stock

So, are you saying a 30% increase in cutting speed can be done with less than a 30% increase in power given all other variables remain the same?
