And is performance going to suffer because of it being EPA
Usually not with Husky saws, and in this case (close port 55), definitely not. In this case it just was about a superior design, that ran "cleaner".

So have u heard of the muffler melting the chain brake handle ?
Yes or have someone that ports mufflers weld a new port baffle on the muffler u have. A pic of port side of muffler would help me see what is going on also

Right now sounds like I need a muffler and a chain brake assemblySo what's the difference between the 2
I've established it's a closed port . The schematic I have shows 2 different mufflers for this model do u know which one to put on and where to get it?One way to check for cp vs. op on the 55 is to pull the top cover and look at the flywheel side rear (intake side) cylinder bolt access hole through the cylinder fins. The hole you'd stick your allen wrench down through to get to that cylinder bolt. On an open port saw that hole goes through 3 fins. On a closed port saw that hole goes through 6 fins. Hope this makes sense.
Yes I have seen lots of melted chain brake handles on 51/55 usually due to the screws falling out of the baffle on the muffler
I recently had a nice husky 50special 300th anniversary saw to fix...
I had a good used closed port cylinder and piston so I swapped it onto the model 50....
This is my 4th closed port 55 setup to work on.
I really can tell a big power difference between the open port and closed port setups.
The closed port is much snappier and pulls more rpm in the cut= more power.
This is a rare example of an EPA part (closed port)running better than the non-EPA (open port).
