I've heard the MS362 was an awesome saw.

I charge 80 for the mod and machine-ground razer chain both set up to my specs ... Having the power-head matched to the chain and rim is what makes it work ... as far as the chain goes ... ANY chain needs to be sharpened ... the chain can be touched up with special files and depending on skill of the sharpener u get what u get ... if u have the skill then you are good to go - if not then u will need to practice until u get it ... eventually the chain will need to be ground to restore the angles and rakers but if u don't Rock it or hit a nail or wire rope it can be restored to like new many many times ... as far as cost over time I disagree with u ... there are only so many Rpms in a saw ... if a woods-ported saw uses a regular chain let's say Stihl rsc but needs to cut at a significantly higher rpm with higher compression to achieve the 40% gains it ain't gonna last as long ... period ... u can make the point that it will run cooler with more fuel but the same can be said about a muffler mod ... difference is by moving the rpms higher and bumping compression u are making more power yes ... but u are also stressing the internals past what they designed for ... unless of course u are including a heavy duty crank ; rod ; wrist pin and piston In the price of the woods port ... also what happens when u lend the saw to cousin Joe and he runs straight gas ? Gotta get a new top end and getter ported again ... that's cheaper than just a muffler mod and a razer chain ? I have several ported saws 395xp and a 660 but I only use them sparingly ... my goto's are the 241-441cms with the 241 and 261cms seeing a lot of the cutting ... just my opinion from a guy who's been there done that ... have a blessed day

Some special chain that requires special tools to sharpen properly sounds like more of a pain in the rear than anything. I touch up my chains long before they are dull, not quite as often as my dad would(typically a quick pass with the file every second tank) but still once a day when I am doing wood.
What kind of profile is your fancy chain?

Special tools ? It's a triangular-shaped file ... costs $4

Yes you were, but he doesn't like it when people remind him of what he wrote.

Where's the hoof rasp and wood router?

Easy now. Can't let all the secrets out.

Y'all are some high tech fancy shmancy builders.

When I port a cylinder, I leave a trail of aluminum chips, and bent screwdrivers.

Hutzle and Gretel breadcrumbs to find ones way out of the deep, dark porting woods.

Overachiever!......

Why is it always an 880?

Did they just have shoddy playing from the factory, coupled with sharp corners?

I mean, "hey! Let's only put de 1/2 life cylinder on vese 1124s: vat vay ve can sell dem 2 cylinders.", said Jan Erik.

"Sure thing Jan Erik," said Andreas.

You know what this place needs is some good old fashioned riff raff to liven things up!

The sad part is, I am now the proud owner of a new 1124 top end because the old one was "terminal."
