btw the strato's are intact in that 261
As well as both 241c ‘s ..... so have you gutted the stratos “sneller-style” on ported 462c or has the boot test told ya what ya need to know bout that mod ?
 
the boot test told me what I wanted to know. if the test would have shown a gain it would mean the intake port and strato's were at a imbalance and I would have made some port timing changes to correct it.
I think that's why yours didn't gain. Everything else was already right (or close enough) to where it didn't matter
 
Too bad STIHL didn’t use reed-valve induction in these new saws ... heck a power-valve wood be sweet !
 
I used the gutted boot as a tool
According to Snelling your test did not go far enough though it was “a step in the right direction “ ... me thinks the gutted - strato is not the ticket on this model
 



put that 241 in some real wood

I hope my 261c Rips like that one ! All stripped down and time to begin flow enhancements ... what range of squish do you like on that model? Mine was .039 from factory and is now .025 - nice “safe” spot imho
 
.020" squish in most every saw I build
Ok ... I’m probably mistaken.... but doesn’t more compression put more stress on the bottom end ? And also kill rpms ? Just cutting base now and leaving stock combustion chamber ... suppose if I modded the chamber in conjunction with cutting base it wood be different scenario
 
yes and yes at some point
The 64000 ? Is ... where is that point ? Wood there be an advantage to cutting off the top of the cylinder and making a custom head from aluminum? Idear being with a removable head you wood have complete dominion over the squish and chamber shape/volume ... seem this on race saws but maybe wood take work Saw to new heights ? Lotta work and testing wood be involved but man if you could get dialed in the Saw wood cruise thru the timber eh ?
