so what do you think of the saw in general brad, I found it easy to work on.
Honestly, I just went for it on this saw. I based that decision entirely on my experience with the 261 where I did a lot of testing on a progressive build. The same mods also work extremely well on the 241.how do you determine if gutting the strato's helps ?
Well, I have mixed feelings there. This saw is put together differently and I've only had it apart once. The biggest difference is how the tank, loop handle, and throttle are put together. I could use some more practice, lol. Now that I've had one apart, I should visit your videos again.so what do you think of the saw in general brad, I found it easy to work on.
I would too. As already mentioned, this wood and testing didn't give real comparable numbers. If someone wants to send me another saw, lol, and doesn't need it right away, I'll do another stage one mod and find some wood to do a more proper test in. I was too anxious to see this saw ported to do better testing.I would like to see a ported one ran next to one with stage 1 mods.
Here she is!
So as Tony Ray said you save, 1 minute in 20 cuts. When you really save one minute in 54.5 cuts.I was going to average the fastest time with the dogged-in time for each of the runs, but for the first 3, the dogged-in time is the fastest time, and for the port job, it is one of the slower times.
Dogged-in times might be the only solid apples to apples comparison in the bunch, which was 12.8 stock, 13 with the muffler mod, 13.3 with the advance, and 11.7 ported.
. Yah ... I like to see 30-40% increase in cutting speed ... IF you have lots of timber to buck the port-job pays for itself rather quickly and then it’s gravy after that ... plus you have the enjoyment of running a saw that punches FAR above its weight classEven if all things were equal, which it wasn't, So it just becomes hypothetical. It would be a poor way to look at it Duce. If You do do it that way then what is relevant would be the extra cuts made in a minute to complete the story.
You have to break it down. *IF... going by time cuts. Percentage is what you want there.
Scott, I know you've been waiting for this! This stock spike is pathetic. I don't have an outer one yet.
If I'm not mistaken, this is a 661R spike part. I'll have to look up the outer one.

I get what you're saying, but the spike that came on the saw was useless IMHO, And around here some of the bark on larger trees gets pretty thick. Long bars also = less bending over. Not sure about the 661 spikes though, looks a bit long for that saw, but that stock dog may as well not even be there.[emoji111]must be another psp saw.
I prefer the softer spikes, they will bend before breaking the case. longer spikes mean you need a longer bar to have the same length of cut. adds extra cost and weight to the nose of the saw where I don't want it. big spikes have a place out west but not here.

These 661 are dawgs are bigger than I remembered. I'll have to revisit the 064 dawgs again.Im tellin ya..the ones i gave brad the numbers for are perfect for our hardwoods..especially on 70cc saws.

I have the Double Dawgs with the ceramic roller on both my 661 and 362. I'm thinking the set for the 362 might be the right size for the 462, as these saws seem to be more comparable in size than the 661. Just thinking out loud. As I have not been able to get my hands on a 462, I maybe way off the mark...
