Still new to the site and have very little chainsaw knowledge, the black ones, I understand, do not have rev limiters correct? I just got my first xp and am wanting to incrementally play with the power by starting with bolt on power first like muffler and ignition. I will then want to see about porting. After using a 455 Rancher then acquiring the 372 xp I'm very impressed. Basically same weight but two totally different saws. This is going to be fun.
On YouTube I ran across some videos by the chainsaw guy that interested me in starting with exhaust and ignition first. Do this a little at a time I can tell from experience which mod the saw responds to the best.
