You must subscribe to the "less can be more" thinking as well.
Depends on what you're looking for and the saw. So yes sometimes less is more, other times more is, well a lot more. lol

Loved the video, in spite of what everyone else says, it was blatantly obvious that the Jonsereds was far superior.
This in spite of the fact you tamed it with a 7t sprocket, but that's OK, .....
These saws are so close it's not funny. It depends on the wood which one will come out on top.
So what GTG are they going to be at??????????
I don't believe there was a timed run against my 395 LOL. I guess we will save that for another time. I can tell you that thing 390 was a blast to run in the pine cant. I couldn't believe how it went through the wood. It put a smile on my face.Another update here. Several of us had the opportunity to run both saws at Wigg's GTG yesterday. This time, both saws had the same muffler mod and both had carbs with the same size venturi, although one was a Tilly and one a Walbro. It still amazes me how different the "personalities" are on these two saws!
While being very close, the 2188BB does have a significant torque advantage and is the stronger saw in in big wood with a long bar. It's powerband is wider, and it's a more user friendly saw. In about 30" wood it was faster than the 395s and 3120 that were there.
The 390 makes significantly more RPMs. While right on the heels of the 2188 in big wood, it was a blast to cant race with. I've never run a saw/chain combo that was so confidence inspiring and easy to run. I made a two cut run through 12" Yellow Pine in 7.25 seconds. I hate to remove this topend to make room for the piped setup. Does this mean I need a 3rd one of these?:biggrin:
Did we not run yours again after you put the 8 pin back on it? That's right, you threw your chain didn't you I'm always down for some good friendly competition
Yeah a 9 pin and 32"bar wasn't the greatest idea but hell it pulled it good LOL. I had a blastDid we not run yours again after you put the 8 pin back on it? That's right, you threw your chain didn't you I'm always down for some good friendly competition
I love the sound of the big bore saws in the woods. Something about the sound of a 90cc saw dogged in a big tree turning 11,000 under load I just like !
