Stihl ms230c

So I had my lil 230 out yesterday for a few hours of cutting up little stuff. About half way through the day I realized how could this happen!!!! This saw is stock!!! So as soon as I got home I popped off the muffler and mached it to the cylender , opened up the exaust just a bit and pulled the screen out. Wow what a difference . Took it out this morning and it's like another saw. I can't believe I let it stock this long !!

The 210 and 230 love a muffler mod.

Just pulling the screen will make a huge difference if it was clogged up as most are in that series of Stihil saws. Steve

The screen was pretty clean . I've had it for a few years but hardly gets used . I only went about 2mm wider when drilling the outlet . It's is without a doubt the most gains I have seen from a muffler mod . Really had to fatten up the the high side a lot and the low just a bit . After I got the carb set correctly I checked with the tac 13,700 a bit high for a crap saw . Tried to throw some more high side adjustment but it runs like crap so 13,700 rpm it is . It's a little screamer of a saw . If I would have down this a couple years ago I never would have got a 200 rear handle .

Those 210/230/250's are awesome saws, I love my 210. It was a $100 trade in that needed some carb work, but saw still looked new. Pretty easy on fuel too.
