The verdict is in. Do not fear 2010! This baby rips and smokes my 3800. Stratofied or not, the power is there. It's 15% faster than my 3800, which is faster than a MS200T. Beat that for $110 if you can!
You'll notice in the video that the Ryobi has a rev limited ignition. Tuning is more difficult since it must be done in the wood with a load. I pulled the plug after the last heavy load cut and it looked great.
The Ryobi simply has more power. It pulls more RPMs at every load point. It has better throttle response, more RPMs in the cut, and
should be better on fuel.
I completely felt my way around the porting of this saw with it being stratofied. Something worked! I'm tickled pink
I probably ought to order one of these before I post this video, LOL
