(2) BR400 B/P blowers
(2) wackers 76 & 81 ..pro's=lots cons= actually have to trust other people with them, or the job won't get done.. sometimes I think I work for them...... as a full time saw mechanic.
 
ms192T Pros: Great climbing saw when you understand it's limits, lighter than 200T Cons: Not as strong as the 200T

ms211 Pros: A new saw for me, so I am still in discovery mode, but I really like it for it's size. Cons: Nothing bad to report yet.

ms361: Pros: My Big Dog. I run a 20" RSC chain and it's strong. I can run the 25" (24") bar as well, although need to keep RPMs up. Cons: Toughest 2 cycle tool to start, but has been better since some L & LA tweaks.

Next Saw: A really strong 70cc (maybe a ms441) or 80cc (maybe a 7900) saw to comfortably pull a 28" bar.

038AV 20 in bar
MS310 20 in bar 2007

What kind on mods can or needs to be done to both to make performance better. Both do good. and can you tell what yr a saw is. Where can I find a muffler for the 038 without paying $75 from the dealer. Ive welded mine back a couple times.. I understand that there are 3 sizes of pistons and mine is 50.:chainsawguy::blob2:

Muff mod the 310. You can check the 038 but I believe it is breathing good in stock form.
