Hello All,
I'm new to AS and have been bitten by the chainsaw bug. I purchased a Husky 353 several months ago for firewood and ditched the cat muffler after my first use. The saw has about 20 tanks thru it now and has started to wake-up (I was worried the first day I had it out with the cat muffler on it - it was a dog to say the least - swapping the muffler and richening up the carb made all the difference in the world).
Now I want to see if I can get a little more out of it with a muffler mod. I have done the research and have decided to do a thru the bracket exhaust hole with screen. My question is what is the best hole(s) size to use. I have read from different spots anywhere from one 1/2" to two 1/2" on this saw.
What size are you using and how's it working?
Earl
