So, I may or may not get laughed on out of here, but this just had to be said. I have been a lifelong husky/stihl guy (I have my favorite saws from each brand) but my addiction has gotten out of hand. I recently picked up a little ryobi 37cc with the 14" bar. It was only 15 big ones so I figured its worth it, just for purely scientific purposes.
Lo and behold, those little turds are built better than most any homeowner level saw I have come across. I didn't realize they were built more like an ms290 or saws of that nature, but it actually has a pretty legitimate crankcase separate from the cylinder!
Alright, it might not be built as well as most of its husqvarna or stihl counterparts, but I was not expecting anything even resembling quality construction when I opened this Sunnava gun up.
In conclusion, I gutted the muffler, chucked the base gasket, increased intake and exhaust ports close to 30% or more laterally (I didn't touch the top or bottom of either port, only the sides), slapped her together, opened them jets and let er rip.
Well worth 15 bucks and a couple hours worth of my time. Get you one. I won't tell
