Since we are listing saws:

Ported and/or muffler modded: Stihl ms290, Craftsman 3.7 (poulan), poulan PP4218, Echo cs-315, Sears U4G, (yes it is ported...mildly), and my attempt at a "race saw", a poulan 2150, fully ported, piped, big carb, and NO clutch.


Stockers: Mac250, Homie SXL-AO, mini-mac35, pioneer p20, pioneer 2270,(if i can get it together by then), lombard 35, (read previous), stihl ms170, Mac pm-610(auto oiler dont work, but manual does)

and, if i can get the blasted thing to run moe than 15 seconds, a Mac47

All can be run by anyone...except the 2150, I do not want my creation to hurt someone, and being that it has no clutch.......just please dont ask...lol

I can bring a stock Poulan Micro XXV to race against the Mini-Mac 35, that way we can run the gamut of all sizes. I don't have any real big saws but I have the low end covered.

LOL, i am game....if i can keep the irritating S.O.B running. Don't worry about "big saws", i do not consider any of mine big. There will be some at the GTG though, Igpoe will see to that...lol
 
Anyone bringing a poulan 2150, or similar saw? No, i don't want a heads-up race, just something to baseline the one i built. Would like to see what gains i got, compared to a stock saw. Did not really baseline this one, have used it stock for years, but never timed it. It does feel much stronger, but the stopwatch does not lie....lol

I should have a stock 2150 with me. After I seen your post I went to Ebay and there was a 2150 ending within seconds for $10 plus shipping, needs fuel lines and a pull rope. So I bought it....... If that one does not make it I will bring my 40cc McCulloch XM-40, at the very least that saw with "out style" any ole 2150.......

Cool, Roanoker. I am just looking for something to compare it to. That mac definitly out styles my 2150. Mine is a homely beast, and the pipe looks like Dr.Frankenstein welded it. Seems to run well...we will see.
 
I'm extra glad to see the mention of races between similar saws as I have greatly enjoyed the thread about the Mac 10-10 vs. the 290. We'll stir quite a bit of crap. I've got a
stop-watch if the batt. ain't dead, but we'll run 'em head to head. We should be able to create some close matchups with big saws also. I think my SP125 is stout, but it's wearing chipper on a 42" right now.
Igpoe:cheers:

I am cool with any race, but i won't run the 2150 heads up. It is a "frankensteined" project, and anything can happen. Just thinking of everyone's safety here, if something happens, and it hurts me, well, i built it. If that same situation occurs, and someone else gets hurt, that i do not want on my mind......hope that made sense. Open to running against the clock with it though. I am currently building a chain catcher for it, out of 1/8" flat steel....just in case.

Like i said, it has NO clutch, if the crank turns, so does chain, so i am fabbing all the guards i can.

Maybe some 50cc oldies against an 026, oh yea!

Then maybe I'll bring the SP125 with a 42" and we'll run em!

Anybody bringing an 090?

Pioneer 2270 Vs. 026? I got a good running P20 also, but i know that it is no match for an 026, but we can try and see.....i aint afraid of getting dusted...lol
 
Also fabbiing a dirtbike, or snowmobile style lanyard kill switch for the 2150. will be attached to right side of saw, and right wrist. Drop the saw, and she dies, hit the kill switch, she dies. So basically, both hands or capable of shutting saw off, without losing control of it.


Thinking more of a spring loaded switch, with a "grenade pin" holding it in run position. Once pin is pulled, it grounds, shutting saw off. Stock kill switch will remain functional, so both will have to be in "run" position to start saw.
