Hi Fred, what kind of times would they run in 8x8?
I don't get into that because of disparity, but it's holds it's own. With the right chain it is a contender for a first place ribbon.
Fred
Sorry, no interest here. Won't take a chance on them being slower than the saws I already have.
so what was done to the 272? these are both gas muffler saws correct?
are the numbers similar between the saws and what numbers are in them now?
Its amazing to hear the kind of things that are done to a saw that I have never thought of.
What do you think you learned from each of these saws that helped you get to the knowledge level you are at today?

i would like to know more about the 272. thought about
building one. is it possible to use 288 crank and cylinder
or is that alot of machine work and special built cranks?
BTW who builds cranks,full circle and the like??:chainsawguy:

Thanks Fred,
I completely understand about the numbers and the respect that you convey for the builders.
So how much compression do the saws have? one or two piece heads? The 272 still has the original carb? Now Ace Morgan was a west coast guy so that would make sense that it would be built for torque. Do you have an 8 pin on there now? what kind of revs do these saws run both in the wood and at wot?
I hope this is enough questions to spark some convo.

Both have 1 piece heads, but some custom machine work has been done.
The 272 has way over 200 psi. The 61 is in the neighborhood.
Harry has always been on the edge with his saws. They have won alot of shows. It seems like I am throwing out a new name here. When I thought everyone knew who he is.
Fred
Fred - Wow, I didn't know you had such an assortment of saws from various builders. Your 361 was built by someone else right? How come your getting rid of the 61 and 272?
