You are dreaming Franco, 241 is quite a saw, but not in the same league as a 346 OE or NE.
Nope ... beat OE 48cc and NE 50 cc junior ! I’m runnin 3/8 ps 63You are dreaming Franco, 241 is quite a saw, but not in the same league as a 346 OE or NE.
That's why the name should be Pullon instead of Poulan. I do like the old Poulans, though.Think you misspelled the name ... whenever I tried to start one I was always pullin and pullin and pullin .....

The top two 50cc saws on the market are the 261cm v2 and the 550xp.
I'm a Stihl guy so I stick with what I have, but the 550xp ain't no joke.
I think it boils down to intended use to pick the "best" between the two.
If you're constantly starting and stopping (limbing, pruning, etc) the saw in addition to living in my neck of the woods, the 261 makes more sense as it doesn't present the same hot start issues as the 550xp.
BUT, if you're primary use is cutting firewood with constant running tank to tank and you live in a "cooler" environment, the 550xp will take the day.
Just my two cents...
Well I guess Snelling is on drugs then ... perhaps you should do your research sir ... shooting from the hip makes one go hungry !First your ignorance knows no bounds, OE is 45cc, second ask anyone who has ported them, or ran them stock, the 346 is still the king of that size but since we are talking current production runs, I will admit the 261 is a great 50cc saw and the 241 is a great 40cc saw, I like my black and red version of the 550xp MMWS ported it and it runs great, never gave me an issue. If I was a Stihl guy I would buy a 261, if I were a husky guy I would take the 550, I have ran booth and performance is really close imo, now saying a 241 is close to a 346.... Well then you are on drugs.

Yes Dustin we understand the quad port design ... the fact of the matter (if you take the time to read and more importantly comprehend) Mr. Snelling’s finding you will discover, much to your chagrin , that the little 241c outcuts your beloved husqvarna 346xp in the same wood ! I’m not a fan of Brad however I must give credit where credit is due ... and that is he has done many unbiased saw comparisons and the proof is on video ! Of course you don’t “do videos “ so go fish ! It’s not that you are ignorant Dustin ; it’s just that so much of what you know ... just isn’t soIt's close enough, if you ran them and ported it's not close, the 346 is very easy to mod, no base gasket, mm, timing advance and 357/359 carb, elbow and filter setup more then makes up the difference, you can just get more out of them, especially ported, there is a reason every 3 cube racer runs a 346 if they want to be competitive.
I won’t bother Dustin ; it’s a waste of time ... when presented evidence contrary to your belief(s) you simply refuse to accept or acknowledge them or decide to continue with ad hominem attacks ! You’ve demonstrated this “pattern” of behavior on many occcasions junior ... fine ... do your way ... I don’t care ... out !!!Explain to me why no one runs them. In 3 cube then?
