I challenge any ported 661 out there. You run 32:1 I'll run 50:1 h1r. same bar, same bar oil, get same gas but mix diff oil in obviously, and new chains.
I'll take that challenge!!
1st of all, I am not calling you out here, I wanna see the results win or loose.
Next weekend I'm driving 10 hours one way to the Iowa GTG, there is no way it's more then 5 hours for you from northern WI to Iowa!
Bring your stock 661, I will bring my Mastermind 661.
But IMO, we are going to have to make MORE then one timed cut to get conclusive results. One cut per saw is not enough.
Find a uniform piece of wood, each saw gets 3 cuts with the same person running both saws.
Then, new chains (off of the same roll) for each saw, and the next guy gets to run the saws, each operator & saw get 3 cuts. Cuts will be timed and averaged.
I will pay for my half of the chain!
I think it would better to do the test with 28" bars, it's going to be hard to find uniform wood IMO worthy of a 36" bar. I am sure there will be plenty of uniform wood there for a 28" bar.
And just for fun after the test, lets do a head ups race, you on one end of the log 3 cuts, me on the other end of the log 3 cuts.
You wanted the challenge, bring your 661 to Iowa, I will be waiting
