How about a few 201s?

Don't like top handle saws? Then how about my newest personal toy? I decided to have another stab at one of these. So far I've modded the muffler and put a .035" popup on the piston. Boy do I love these Total/Jonsered bars:msp_wub:

Is the rear handle ms201 on right of photo heading to someone down under?

It could be The Reduced Weight bar's in the box

Just by dropping the jug and modding the muffler on that little J'red......I'd have to say she's gonna come alive......

I thought the rear handle one looked faster and prettier than the others.

There was quite a lot of flashing and a good sized ridge around the lower transfer intakes. I did clean that up. I also raised the notch in the cylinder up, to make up for what I dropped it. It was after dark when I got it done. I got about 14% from the muffler mod. However, I don't know how valid any of these tests will be. IIRC, you have to run these saws for a few minutes for them to re-tune. I simply don't have the wood for that. At least I'm seeing gains. I really don't know what I'm going to do from here. I need to study your recent 550 build thread My porting didn't fair too well the first time I tried one of these. Gonna have to try something different. Hopefully you left some low hanging fruit for a knuckle dragger like me to pick up on

Stock. These are the very first four cuts it ever made.

An echo pole saw that's not oiling the bar, and a poulan 2150 woodshark.

Here it is muffler modded. I simply opened up under the deflector, beside the pipe. I did nothing to the baffle. When I did that last time, I didn't seem to pick up any gains, but it sure got louder. Your mileage may vary. This is only the second time I've been in one of these.

You can tell it's still trying to learn, evidenced by the stalling in the cut. By the last cut, it was already doing better.

that little J-Red looks pretty sleek do they have an autotune system? Looks very smooth that saw

It's the same as a Husky 550XP.

Nothing too interesting, just sharpened a few chains for this weekends skidder and splitter session.

I'd love to stay here and chat, but I'm exhausted! Time to hit the hay.

It just dawned on me, that I haven't started anything in my garage for a few days now.

I hope that's not a sign of things to come. :msp_scared:

Your pictures are always excellent, what camera are you using?

 

[Rusty Barlow]

Stihl FS80 & Subaru Robin 350.

 

[cobey]

poulan super 25, mac 10 10 auto, and a 360 homelite

I spent most of yesterday cleaning up a Dolmar 112. It was DIRTY...but after pulling the jug it was evedent that it was not used much :msp_smile:. Seems like a nice saw. I'm pretty excited to cut with it this weekend.

 

[ndlawrence]

Back on topic, I've got a 2 288's,281,350 and a 026,,, all waiting on parts...

 

[Mastermind]

Let's see.......a couple of 026s, two 550XPs, a J'red 2253, and a MS261C.

I didn't get a heck of a lot done on the saws today. I was on the phone for several hours...still furthering my meager education.

Oh......got some nice poplar for videos too.
