What do you think of the opening between the transfers and the case? From the pictures it looks like a rather small area and an abrupt turn.
 
And that is why I normally wait till I'm done before I post videos.

Drawing any conclusions from what is in these videos would be foolish......

I'm just joking. I spoke of the time displayed by YouTube (45 vs 44).

This topic is very interesting, especially as here in France, Dolmar saws are much cheaper than Stihl / Husky! I hesitate to take a 610 Beal for some time.
 
I'm hesitant to add much outlet to the muffler before port work. On the 7900 it seems to hurt the engines torque to have the muffler opened too much.

Baby steps........

But the 7900 muffler is not a SLR muffler, he's probably less restrictive thant this one, no?
 
The 7900 and 7910 behave the same way in relation to muffler outlet......even after the restrictions inside the mufflers are removed on both. The port configurations and timing numbers are the same.....only the mufflers and the coils are really different.

This 6100 is very similar to the 7900 in the layout and timing of the upper transfers. That makes me wonder is the outlet considerations should be thought about in the same manner.

The only thing I concluded from the videos was that they are all about the same, therefore those mods don't appear to be the restriction - and I know you were not implying that, just starting to experiment.

I don't know how the saw felt, but it doesn't sound like it is bogging, although that might just have been proper control and not letting it bog. The exhaust note was steady in all three videos and it chugged along nicely but didn't sound like it wanted to rev. Kinda like a reed valve saw?
 
Don't know for sure but it looks like there is a lot of dust in the air. Are you sure the chain is sharp?

Next question How do you like it(antivib, handling, etc.)?

Thanks for the update & videos! :clap:

No offense taken. It was just something I noticed. Maybe someone else noticed it also? Just because a chain is brand new doesn't mean anything. And Randy has already expressed his fondness for chain sharpening. Further no idea what type of wood it is. So I am just mentioning my observation, because I am used to different videos from Randy. If I'm wrong thats ok with me.
