****sorry guys, lost the vid,...got it back up, can't edit the new vid back into my first post, since it's more than 1hr old, so let's try this again....



I'm liking it!!!

A mod can help you out.

Awesome. She pulled that long chain no problem at all. How was the oiling?

Another thing I noticed, your saw definitely isn't running lean. I hear it more than occasionally 4-stroking when the load is less than heavy, just like a perfect working tune for a saw pulling a long bar.

oils fine. put up some paper down and did WOT with 36" and 41" and the splatter was just a touch more on the 36".

I did a 36" cannon vs 41" cannon vid. I'm doing the editing now. Bar and Jug Temps are running the same IIRC so I would assume then that oil is adequate or else the bar would get really hot.

How's the balance with the 41? Not very good I'm assuming

That 42" Cannon would be nose heavy on a MS880

I'm still impressed the 661c chainsaws. Not one problem with mine.

I'm really hoping cannon comes out with a 42" lightweight for the 088 next year

Wow!!! That's some serious equipment right there!!!!
Awesome!!!!! Ty for sharing

the 41 makes the 36 regular weight bar seem well VERY VERY NICE! lol The 41" is a real BEAST no joke! It doesn't balance at all. lol You pretty much have to carry it with two hands otherwise the nose will drag on the ground.

I think it is a very rigid bar, they (cannon) made the mount area extra wide. The profile of the 20-36" cannon's are pretty similar the 41" is totally different.

Bottom line - it's totally BAD ASS! practical...depends -

for the occasional large tree or bucking huge wood or showing off or milling or cutting tables...Yes. For anything else I'd say no.

Biggest ive run on mine is 32" and it seemed to have torque to spare , so i guess im not surprised it pulled 41".

36" .404 is a sweet setup ............ my 661 with a MaxFlow and real big exhaust opening holds 12,000 self feeding ( on RS with cleaned gullets ) and the bar tip buried!

No problems with the way that was pulling! I like it.
Any images of your muffler mod?

I'd say there's another lb or more to the 50". It doesn't balance at all either. A 41" wasn't that bad. I had one with a 3 rivet oregon tip.

What kind of tach are you using that will read a 661?

Will a velocity stack fit on the carb studs of a 661? I looked at the cover and you can't run without it. I was trying to think of a way to not have to run the stock filter. It would pack quickly when milling with that cover on.

50" cannon balances pretty good.....on the 090

Mopar has a max flow on his , i dont think a stack would work and im lookin at mine as i type this...dunno.

Not sure about the velocity stack, but here is how I run her, the full cover gets put on only in rain

 

[mdavlee]

That would work. I have several covers for the max flow.
