I understand Randy. I have ported saws that had a one second gain in the cut and the hp was a noticeable change on the dyno. Your 261 is gonna blow our socks off with the dyno #'s for sure.

Would you say leaving the strato intact allows for a more optimal power curve?

This M-Tronic saw and the OE are two very different animals as far as I can see at this point. The M-Tronic system seems to be able to provide as much fuel as this thing needs even with the port work and the stratos intact.

I'm not done yet though. I'm now porting my cylinder and will put it on the OE model to see how it fairs with this approach and the stratos intact.

I've not ran this saw in a work setting at all yet, but I'm thinking it's gonna be a 50cc game changer.

I have a stock 550 and a stock 261c. Although both are 50cc they are totally different saws. The 550 is an screamer that is super light and perfect for limbing. The 261c is like a little bigsaw:msp_wink:. I really want to have both ported. I was dead sent on comparing these 2 saws and then selling one. After using them I want to sell one cause it is like they are totally different saws in a different class although both are 50cc.

Yes, the 261 simply isn't built like a 50cc saw should be! :msp_sneaky:

That is why the model never has interested me!
