Best 60 cc saw for porting

[wyk]

A ported 261 is no doubt a good saw, but it will not run with a ported 60cc saw.

Randy's 261CM ran with Brad's 361 on the dyno. When I used a ported 261CM, I sold my ported 361. Once you run a ported 261, you understand there's no need to go to a 362 or a 562 unless you need more bar or weight.

I've not not run a ported ms261, so I'll not knock it. But I've run ported 357s' & 359s' that were faster and stronger than some ported ms361s'. Lot's of variables here.

My ZCS0h26 and MMMS261 are both BadAss.

The OP asked for recommendations on a 60cc saw

Does the 562 still have the same love boys ?

The 562 looks impressive on paper, but I keep hearing of the carbs having issue

The main variable is the 261 weighs more than a pound less. As long as it is out there, I won't be running a 60cc saw.

I gave him the best option. You are all welcome.

Echo?

562xp?

That one is high on the list, but I like a ported 357xp better.

If restricted to a brand new 60cc saw, I'd likely go with a Jred 2260...

Yes, but Randy's 346's will hand his 261's their hat and show them the door.

True.

I can get more out of a 346 than any other 50cc saw.

Yes, I have prof...

So two reasons not to bother with a 60cc saw unless you need more bar.

So, Randy, which high strung saw do you think will last longer?

One of the reasons I like the 261CM is removing the baffle gets you about a 30% gain. Some saws won't get you that much with an MM and porting.

Don't forget a 30% gain in cutting speed is VERY different to a 30% increase in HP output. Some of the figures and numbers that get thrown around here under the illusion of increased HP are funny at best.

 

[skippysphins]

60 would be 562xp, then 262xp , I can't wait to get a 346 xp ne.
I wasn't impressed with the 361 or 362 stock

So, are you saying a 30% increase in cutting speed can be done with less than a 30% increase in power given all other variables remain the same?
