Just for the record here are the weights.
420 = 10# 8oz, no cat in muffler
3800 = 9# 5oz
I'm not yet ready to make excuse for it's girth, but...we're talking about a saw for well less than $300 that has pro-style construction, 13,500 RPMs, 200 PSI compression, and plenty of torque with no cylinder mods. This saw will be put through it's paces in the days to come. As you know, I don't burn firewood or have a lot of firewood to cut. However, I will go put a solid tank of fuel through it before I do anything to it. I'll time the saw in a log to establish a baseline. I will then be porting it. Once done with that I will time the saw again. Finally, I will be testing the saw with 3/8 lopro, .325, .325 NK, and different sized sprockets to see which performs best.
BTW, I also just bought a Shinny 377 to work up. When it's all said and done, I'll run the three of them in the same wood and post the results. Some where in here, I've got to build me a log stand. Enough of this propping logs up on the ground!
