MS661 vs 390XP

[KG441c]

It's called a 346, 550, or 261. IMHO, the 241 is simply too heavy for the power loss.

I love my ported 241c

They're a great little saw, just too heavy IMHO.

A 044/440 doesn't stand a chance against a 372 after both are ported.

Brad, a ported 372 is a fast, mean saw, no argument. But that new recipe 044 Randy did for me is pulling a 28" bar through Oak very nicely, I have no complaints. I would love to compare it to a similarly set up 372. FYI, I'm running RSLH on it.

With the 661 R dogs on it, it makes a very nice, light, felling / stumping saw.

I love the 044/440 and even the 026/260, but both are way behind husky in areas such as performance, antivibe and filtration.

I have a 440 that will make you smile if you ran it.

THIS IS OFF TASK BUT HAS ANY ONE HAD BAD LUCK WITH THE STIHL 362 MTRONIC SET UP ? DO YOU HAFT TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT ADJUSTED THANKS FOR THE HELP

My hybrid is extremely strong, yet my 372 will usually out cut it as well. A ported 372 is king of 70cc class saws.

You're best off to start a new thread. Thanks.

Dolmar 7900, 7910?

I believe it would, at least with most examples. I've only seen a few that were truly nasty.

What's a 372? Is that the ugly sister of a 2171?

HOW DO YOU RE CALIBRATE

I have cut firewood my whole life,with what ever saws we had. Never thought about a performance saw, 1010 pro mac,old homelites,etc..,bought a husky 51 in1990 thought that was the best thing since sliced bread.Then bought a 029 farmboss samething.then in2007 I bought a 441mag,that thing really blowed my mind.Fast forward tojust a few years ago,i now have 2 346's ,1ported by Dan Henery,that one is really mad at wood.Hopefully before to long the other will go to the monkey to massaged.I had the 441 ported also by Dan Henery, I think you could ride that saw through a log and it would still cut,unreal torque.Then bought a372 sent it to the monkey, when it came back it's a beast.Conclusion; Honestly I would call myself a husky man I love them, but I really wouldn't turn around for the difference in my two 70 cc saws ,they are both great.By the way, this site has caused me to spend a lot of money,once you run aported saw the others just want do

Brad what is the key in the porting to the nastiness of the 390 rpm and cut speed?
