Bronze Borer took out most of our White Birch years ago. Every now and then I'll run into a big one. Any thing over 18" goes to the mill. Beautiful wood, Joe.

It runs ok once I tuned it right. It's really light.
It's going to run better once it can breathe.

Is that a cat?
Yep.

How do you open that up and still have the cat work?
You don't.
Either you split the muffler and remove the cat or some people will hog out a passage through the cat and then add extra outlet holes.

Not sure. I'd always worry a little bit would come loose later and fall back into the engine.

I would think if you could get it all with that expanding drill bit it would be a sufficiently big enough hole for all of it to come back out that hole before you bolt it back up
Edit: would probably be easiest using a drill press at slow speeds cause I bet all those baffles would catch easily on the bit.

Is that a King? We do a tournament every October in North Carolina for King, fun fishing on light (30 pound test) line, Joe.
Hey Joe,
That was a school mackerel, generally a bit smaller - this one was about 70cm. We have another mackerel called a Spanish that grows considerably bigger which I believe in some parts is called a King....and other parts of the world have a Spanish that looks different to ours. It's probably a bit like the different names people have for the same tree species in different parts. Our Spaniards look similar to the one in your photo but with more prominent vertical bars. What really surprised me about the schoolie was how good it was on the fang. I thought we'd 'make up the numbers' with it but it was great on the chew, glad we kept two!
Cowboy, where we fish off the coast of North Carolina, the state record for a King Mackerel is 82 pounds and a Spanish is 13 pounds. The King is kind of oily and are very good smoked. The Spanish is a more white flakey meat that is good fried. We use light, 30 pound test for the King and they give a good run for the money. The biggest I've caught was 42 pounds and it was a big one. The picture I posted is with my fishing buddy, he's from Vietnam, and is about 5'5' tall. Makes the fish look bigger, Joe.
Those are some big fish!
We were catching kings off the gulf coast of Florida. Every one was 10 lbs except for the one the shark bit in half, we only got the head lol.
They tasted awesome fresh but I saved a couple in the freezer for a month and they were terribly fishy and not enjoyable at all.
That 400 muffler is very similar but not identical to the smaller 310/352 chassis. Nick split the muffler and removed the whole darn cat which I think is the best option if someone has the tools.
FWIW I timed the CS-352 against my Dolmar PS-32 (also a cat saw) using the same bar and chain in a birch log and the little Dolmar beat it handily (9 versus 11 seconds). I'm curious to see how much difference the MM makes for Echo. Granted the echo still needs to be broken in but that was a pretty good showing for the smaller Dolmar to cut that much better.

Not to keep running this thread off track but I am also running a Husky 142 though this process. That saw wanted to rev up good with the cat so I am very interested to see how it goes without one and a larger outlet.
In the same log with the same bar and chain the 142 did 7 seconds, the PS-32 in 9 and the CS-352 in 11. Again I am very impressed how well that little Dolmar kept up with a saw 10 cc's larger.
