So how do you feel about the Makita 50cc saw (s). They still can be had new in the box. Your thread here is two non strato closed port saws. Seems the Makita one and some earlier grey market Stihl ones fall in this category.

Had 5100 5105 closed port and 510 open. Fine cutting saws but seen issues. So I stay away from them myself.

Seemed heavier too.

But cut right with my other 50cc saws tested with 3/8.

510 weight PHO dry with 4910 346

See if I can just upload videos to here.

If that works.

I just timed the 3 cuts. By feel 346 stronger more pep and thought was faster. But watching video's I thought dang 501 was right there.

346 - 8.50 7.62 7.37
501 = 7.03 7.22 6.97

Using my hand timer and video.

I wouldnt have believed that myself.

Another guy I think used that timer on phone to do very accurate timing. He also caught I cut out on first cut on echo.
501: 1st cut out, 7.15, 6.98
346: 8.45, 7.67, 7.52
Echo 7%

Only thing I can come up with is new ring and piston on first tank. Will try again later.

Something is wrong with the 346.
