Brad, where is your CM made US or Germany?
That was a pretty messed up thread. I just skipped everyone else's posts except yours. My favorite part was the before and after pictures of the strato to non-strato ports. The little "face" in the ports went from
to :msp_scared:Just out of curiosity...What was the "fuel economy" impact of the mods?

Man can't wait to run my MS 261 (some simple mod's to it) and the new MS 261 against each other :msp_smile:

I'd frankly like to see how it (1.) runs before mod's (2.) run's after porting w'out de-strato-ing first.
IMHO, it's not worth your money to port, if not gutting the strato. If you followed my original 261 build thread, the saw was a disappointment with mods, until I gutted the strato. Yes, gains were made, but not to my liking. I'll tighten the squish, mod the muffler, and advance the ignition on a 261 for a reasonable price, but I won't port one unless it goes all the way.
This 261C will be tested:
1. Stock
2. Muffler modded
3. Squish tightened
4. Timing advanced (This saw might not like the timing advanced)
5. Full porting, w/strato gutted.

Just my hunch, but I'm real interested to see condition #3 above.
I tested setup #4 when I built LowVolt's saw. IIRC, it was good for 20% over stock. It makes for a nice running saw. The squish is really loose on these. Hopefully Rory will come along and correct my figure above.
Fortunately, a new regular MS261 is supposed to be heading my way tomorrow. All of my testing will be in the same cant, so will have a real good idea. All testing won't be on the same day, but, will be in the same wood, with the same B&C.
Now we are talking..something to hold us over till u get that baby ported
. I am not sure the m tronic will fuel it enough to run with ur regular ported 261. I ran one of those and that thing was bad news for such a small saw. It cut through 18" would like a big saw

I'd love to compare it to a 550, but that's not going to happen. I thought I had a deal on a 2253, but that fell through.
What am I, your friggin secretary? This is your video.........

Umm weird.......
Anyway, you tell me. Did you clean it better than the previous goofball that worked on it? Or is it junk?
Yeah, I shouldn't have gone there, lol.
Yes, it's much better than it was. I think it will be fine.
Fine like it won't scratch up another $80 piston? Did you hit it with a light hone?
Last question......continue on with 261cm talk.

Another hit or miss with timing huh lol? I tried my timing advance on my 441 you re-did and you were right it runs better in the stock posistion lol
