Mastermind Meets The Stihl MS441CRM

[gcsupraman]

My money's on the 460, but that will be a very close race.

I agree....and I'm fine with that :msp_smile: I believe thanks to Randy and Tlandrum we're going to find out soon!

I agree. Hopefully Randy can run the saw a little while to get use to it before the race. Those wild differences in times that you had with MM one are due to the computer sorting things out at first in the beginning of the cut, or possibly it not being calibrated, or both.

Sam, Are there two different calibration methods? The owner's manual said to run the saw in 5 uniform cuts to calibrate (guess Randy saw that too) however you posted another calibration method (idle for 60 seconds no bar/chain). Where did you get the other one? Do both need to be done?

I feel like a feller should take the sugar with the ####.

Now do you have a limit on how much #### you take from one customer? I'm up to two I think!

Same price for them all

Another question.......how many guys have a 441 that has had a compression increase?

Just base gasket removed.

I think the 1 minute calibration is what the dealer is suppose to do ............ not sure if all dealers are doing it though, and I can't remember where I read to do it. I think it was on here (AS) somewhere. I do it and it works, as in, something does happen, smoother idle and smoother rpms and more torque at the higher rpm range.

I have never read the manual, LOL.

I have only set the squish. No popup.

This one had no machine work. This was before I knew about the calibration too. I understand that it responded very well to the calibration after I sold it. The wood is dead Oak.

OK men I have some videos uploading..........

What's the compression now? I wish I could remember what it was on the one I had.

170psi with the exhaust at 99°

Here's the stock video....most of my chains were damaged from the tornado cleanup, it was getting dark so I had to use a 20" B&C This chain was well sharpened and the rakers were set with a Husky roller gauge. That's just some hard freaking wood.

On these two cuts I got 13:47 and 14:22

That video, once again, just shows how well these saws pull in stock form. They are great runners!

Pass the popcorn. I love the stuff. :msp_sneaky:

 

[Mastermind]

LMFAO

 

[blsnelling]

Very nice Randy. Sounds like it maintained it's throttle response. Have you noticed it sometimes taking a bit to throttle down? Don't you just love the way the cuts times don't increase as it heats up

 

[Slamm]

Looks good. Just run some quick numbers and looks like you easily are 34% faster with your modds, that is nothing to sneeze at. Excellent.

Did you calibrate it yet? If not, calibrate it and see what it times at.

so your ready to part with that 460 ??

 

[gcsupraman]

Literally just walked in the door from a day of clearing a building lot......

The gains look impressive - there is a night and day difference between the stock and ported videos. I can only assume it will get better as it breaks in - I never even finished the first tank of fuel in it.

What are you thoughts on the M-tronic system now that you've had a chance to run one?

Any predictions for this weekends saw race?

Nice job man.
