chime in if you run a stock saw

[Adirondack]

The 7900 is still untouched I actually like how quite it is. .

I have the 7900. Would never think of any mod for this saw. I really like how quiet it is also. It has more than enough power for my needs. I think it would be a bit much to modify it just to run 1 less second in a piece of wood.

Yep it's just a joy to run it's light and smooth oh so smooth and quite. It's just zip zip through the log.
P.S ya cad sufferer's are bad for that one second thing.:hmm3grin2orange:But it is nice to eat a 361 alive for a saw that cost's $210.00 less and has a good handle on it and looks better sitting Stihl. Actually I would not want to put a stock 2171 up against my 2159 in under 20'', wood what I normally cut.

Now for you blokes that like the 7900 std, they say that the 7900 is like a ported saw from the factory!

The Univent is a standard saw is it not?

Would we still be saying we like standard/stock saws if they came from the factory, "factory tweeked"?

All mine are stock apart from....

...slight muffler mod.s to give them less back-pressure and the governor blocked off on the 2101XP. Oh yes, the baby Stihl has had the air intake slightly modified so it doesn't suck as much wood chips.

Apart from that, they're stock. I run with the theory that if the saw doesn't cut as fast as I need, it's easier to either update the saw or simply buy bigger.

Of course I don't need to mod my saws--my everyday runners are vintage Macs!!!

But sometimes I wonder what a "Snellerized" Super Pro 70 would do............

Oh no! Nobody touches my SP81 not even Brad! :greenchainsaw:
I gotta say I love my Huskies but the mac has torque like no other saw!
And muffler mod? If you open the muffler theres a screen inside-thats it. When you cut close to the ground the exhaust digs holes! It barks!

 

[OhioGregg]

All mine are stock, except for slight muffler mods. And changing a saws paint color doesn't count, does it? Allthough, I think a newly painted saw is much faster, just like a freshly washed and waxed car seems faster! LOL

Gregg,

Those are three sweet lookin Poulans Gregg.

 

[wigglesworth]

In my three saw plan, none are stock. Of course most peoples three saw plan doesn't include two 70cc saws though huh?

i have a 76 thats to old and to nice. does the dp muffler cover on 460 count.

 

[B_Turner]

All my saws are stock both because I don't like noise and also I mostly am doing urban cutting.

I run very sharp chain that makes my saws cut as fast as the muffler mods I've compared to.

 

[mile9socounty]

All but my 37XPW and P/P P42HP are stock. Only thing after market on them is a full set of dogs.

 

[Trigger Man]

Mine are all stock, can't bring myself to start drilling holes in anything I own. I'm sure it makes saws run stonger but I'm happy with what I got. To each his own.

 

[ProMac1K]

I was under the assumption that we were talking about engines.....whoops..... opcorn:

 

[BC 5100S]

My saw is still stock but the warranty is up now so I am considering doing a muffler mod.

No complaints with the saw so far without mods. I thought I had a problem with power being down, but it turned out I had just done a really bad job of sharpening the chain. A proper filing and I am back to being happy!

w/o reading thread
stock stihl 021 and stock $50 efco 3600 (< 1 week old)

 

[andrew346]

All saws in my signature are stock unless you count my attempt at creating a PNW MS440 in Northern ireland! (Although, the wrap handle, large dawgs and DP muffler are stihl parts so i reckon this is still a stocker...)

 

[husky455rancher]

only saw i havent played with is the mighty husky 142 lol. i figured whats the point. oh i forgot about the mac too but i dont ever use it.

 

[Fronty Owner]

im running a stock Husky 142

 

[bruce6670]

Yeah I know.. I don't have a clue as to why it shows that many. I read alot but don't post much.

You should have more rep with all those posts.

 

[bruce6670]

All stock.I don't feel the need to modify something that works so well already.
Unless you know what your doing,you could really mess up your saw.
I would mod the muffler,but that is about it.
