Howdy,
The time it takes to break in is proportionate to the type of mix you're using. The slicker the mix, the more time it takes for rings to seat.

Hey, that's some pretty slick info Gregg! :msp_thumbup:

If ya don't notice a saw getting stronger after it's first tank, you're just not paying attention, or it was so long ago ya don't remember.
The Jonsered should be almost broken in and the MS261 will need atleast 5 more gallons of
fuel through to be broken in.
My 550xp seemed to "wake up" right around tank 20-25 or so. I did due a MM on it at about tank 18 but all of a sudden around tank 20 it really just came to life and is super strong...def noticeable vs. stock or "non broken in." Took a long time because the 550xp is really great on gas.
Stumpy ran mine on the first tank and he just shook his head. It was not good!
My old one was twice as fast in the cut, after 3-4 tanks they were almost even, after 10, the new one was faster. Then I ported the old one.
Your 261 is broken-in. I'd run at least 20 tanks through the Jred, then do a shoot out.
I much prefer the outboard clutch!!! :msp_biggrin:
Borat, did you get that photo in your avatar off your drivers license?
There is some gain. I think he showed .4hp or real closet for his 461 on the dyno.I'm wondering how much of these power gains are "perception" vs measurable differences. Chadiham, where are you??
Measure compression on a new saw and measure it again after 15 tanks. Compression goes up. With that comes more power.I'm wondering how much of these power gains are "perception" vs measurable differences. Chadiham, where are you??
