Freakinized 365 on muffler and pipe vids vs stock 046

Freakingstang · May 22, 2006

Just a couple vids off a couple saws. The main one being my self modded 365.

1st vid is my self modded 365 on muffler with 8T rim, My own square filed chain and the wood is 12x12 Ash

2nd vid is same saw on pipe, same chain and same wood.

3rd vid is a stock 046 with dual port muffler and off the reel Stihl RS round chain with 8T rim.

The 365 looks a little faster in the vids.....am i wrong? nice work steve

lovetheoutdoors · May 22, 2006

i watched the vids several times, the 365 looks very strong.

Freakingstang · May 22, 2006

Thanks Outdoors. The little 365 is a strong runner. It makes the stock Makita 6401 look real bad. I wish I has stock videos for comparison between the two. I'd like to see what the 365 does with a real chain on it. I also need a little practice on my changeovers, lol.

I have another modded 372 that I want to put this pipe on it and see how it runs. It is the fastest saw I have in small (12-14") wood.

Here is a 372 that has Gypos #'s in it for comparison. It has has an 8T rim, and another Freak filed square chain. It is a smaller bar (16") though, but should have the same edges and angles as the other 20" bar has.

Got a couple Pm's.... :jawdrop:

They are worksaws used for cutting purposes and are set up for the chain to last in hardwood. They are not ********. The pipe was something I did for fun. Again, it isn't a race saw, it is a saw that gets used to cut firewood and side jobs. The videos would be alot quicker in soft wood and a more aggressive chain.

Looks good for work saws. Keep having fun.:biggrinbounce2:

Steve, check your pm,s I need some info. I also need the stihl number to the square beveled files, plus some other info.

Freakingstang · May 22, 2006

Aspen? Not familiar with that. I've always known ash to be ash and it is much harder than the butter stuff at the GTG. PM sent, will send another with the stihl part numbers.

Anyone want to double check my timing abilities?

Here is what I came up with:

365 muffler single cut 5.22 sec double 11.07
365 pipe single cut 3.63 sec double 8.05
046 muffler single cut 5.52 sec double 11.69
372 muffler single cut 4.08 sec double 9.45

I'l put the same chain on the 046 and 372 for more accurate comparison. I'll see if I can't get my botched 372 cylinder(not shown) back on and see how it runs. The 372 here was the gypo spec'd 2mm intake and 2mm exhaust. Nothing was done to the transfers.

Steve i still have a couple cants left over bring your saws the next time you up this way you might be surprised.
BTW your saws sound real good !

Thanks eric, Might have to make a special trip.... lol.

Here is a pic of the pipe. Had a couple people asking about it, and only parts of if could be seen in the videos. It isn't pretty,but it works and works well. The long stinger made about a 1/2 second difference between the few differant versions I tried.

I felt the same way until I went to Eric's GTG and got my ass handed to me. lol. What should have I expected out of a muffler modded 365 with an off the reel round ground chain? It was a ton of fun, but it gets very addicting! Slowly but surely my saws are getting a tad faster and my square filing is getting a tad (not much) but a tad better. I do have a good chain to throw on all of them for a more comparable test, hopefully tomorrow or wednesday.

I really love my 365, although I have only done some basic muffler work on it.

Keep it up and thanks for sharing...
