Wow I guess that type of performance increase is out of the realm of possibilities for most of us huh.:yoyo:

I hope you meant sweet and not sweat, hahahaha of course maybe you are on to something new

Pretty heavy mods really... You couldn't enter it in a "Stock Appearing Saw" race 'cos the judges would surely stop you with "Didn't that saw ship with a 20 inch bar?" :)

For even more performance only put a thimble full of gas in it and start it up! Lean, high rpms, way more power for a couple seconds kills start over! of course you have to use a short bar for all this to work! lol.

Poor lad! Looks like nobody else appreciated his slick custom job. I bet he's scratching his head though.... he probably notice a sudden surge in views on his counter yesterday and today and was hoping for a last minute bidding frenzy.

If only he knew!

Wonder if he would be interested in some highly modded poulans (by his standards). Removed 16" bar and put on a 10", removed a 16" and put on a 12" and removed a 22" and put on a 16". Now them some highly modded saws. :ices_rofl: :ices_rofl: :ices_rofl:

Dang it, no wonder my 660 is such a dog... I've been running WAY too long of a bar on it... Looks like it's double cuts for me from here on out... Now why'd I buy that big powerhead anyway?

when you are used to buying saws off the shelf at walmart and you do not know beeter what else is he to think. For us here it is funny but only because we know better. Think about this though; in way he did modify it. How many of us put longer or shorter bars on, differant chain, differant grinds. How many of us when we first saw square grind chain 20 years ago seen it as a modification?
