He sells new saws already ported at very good prices. Yes to your second question.
Maybe, but from previous posts we know you are a highly educated blasphemous, heathen, trogolite.

Did you mean troglodyte?

Thank you Termite, that is exactly what I meant. I may be one of those also, but it is apparent not a highly educated one

IMO AT is far preferable to having to go to dealer for minor carb adjustments to compensate for temp/pressure/whatever changes. There are some carbs that need much more than removal of limiters. E.g. Zama C1Q carb on RedMax GZ4000. That's the sort of thing that can sour you on an otherwise great saw, given the extortionists we have for local dealers.
With AT, gas it and go. I'm really liking AT on my new Husqy 576XP-AT. Thing's a beast- seldom spends much time in a cut.

Glad to hear you are likin it Yank, and I'm looking forward to trying it out at GTG. It sounds like a real nice saw, and I want to see what the "smoothest" saw feels like.
I'd imagine the 576at would be similar to the 441cxb I had, smooooth as silk but ungainly, way too fat and cumbersome, never felt right so glad the 661 went a different direction, its not a weight thing - it's a feel thing
To each his own, I went back and forth from the 441 and 044 many times and never noticed any real difference, although I have heard many others share your concern. When both were bone stock, they cut about the same also. Note: my 441 was not M-Tronic. I believe the M-Tronic ones run a little stronger, and my subsequent filter & muff mods really woke the 044 up also.
M-tronic runs stronger in the hands of a lousy tuner mike , workin with saws can make you appreciate how smooth a saw is , day after day all day...the better filtration is a bonus.
Ryan, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think on a stock saw M-Tronic will run a little stronger, while on a ported saw (as you have mentioned) the non-M Tronic saws are a little stronger because the tuners can advance the timing on those saws. Even a great tuner can't adjust the tune on the fly based on the varying load the saw is under, etc. M/T & A/T will tend to keep the saw in the sweet spot.
I also don't know if M-Tronic adds a little wt to the saw, like AT does on a 576. The stihl website did not reflect any difference, but I think the actual wt of M-Tronic saws exceeds the published wt.
I hear you on the smoothness & filtration issues, and I totally agree with you, but as an occasional user they are less of a concern to me. I am, however, looking forward to running both an 064 and 661 at the upcoming GTG. Should be fun!
While converting the Ash logs to post & beam for my cabin the 441 was likely the right choice to use, although I sometimes also used the 044. The filter on the 441 will stay cleaner longer, but the real reason I used it (for the most part) was because I knew milling was tough on a saw and it was still under warranty!

Ive had same models in mtron and standard carby.
M-tronic runs nicer if you cant tune them well ... if you can its a different game.
I like having control of the carb either way..especially in a ported saw.
Havent used a 372 but one of the guys I work with has a 371 that I have spent time on. Great saw but the 576 is way smoother and has noticeably more torque. I like the lighter weight of the 37x series but wouldnt trade my 576 for one. Also thought it is smoother and a bit quicker than a 460, which is a better comparison.
That being said you cant go wrong with either. Both great saws

Just get your cad in order and buy a 390xp, a 576xp and keep your pre xtrorq 372's. Oh and why not a 10mm 044 to mix things up and keep mustang happy. Why not they're all good saws.
Bet ya can't show me one post where I did not wish someone the best even if they got a different flavor saw! But it is nice to know I got a fan club!
