I have some interesting info on the 550XP you guys will want to know about.......

Videos coming up within the hour. :)
 
This is going to be a long hour, lol. I hope your luck was better than mine. Of course, my 346 is probably stronger than the 2153 your testing it against:D JK! Here's to hoping you did MM only tests before porting it.

My friend......you are the guy I was hoping to see. :)

What would raising the exhaust do to the torque this saw makes? :msp_mellow:
 
How's the popup going Brad? As an aside, before you even ported your 550 I made a promise to myself that when I ported mine I wasn't going to change any timing at first. I love how the saw runs, so I would just be looking for more of the same. Right or wrong I will try that first.




Video done yet Randy????;)
 
Here's the "weak" ol' J'red.....

So that was what you was working on, when you went "stealth" today! :D

Anyway, the propotions in the vid seems way off, what's up with that? :confused2:

id say that'll make me a hell of a limber casue I got other saws for stuff that size. Everyone gets a turn.:hmm3grin2orange:
 
Randy, I just checked mine. 130 psi cold on my Snap-on gauge. If it was my 028 I would think "huh..needs a rebuild".

I assume it is some software compatibility issue, as I have seen similar with other vids on here before.

However, let's forget that, and return to the original topic- that 2153 looked seriously fast! :msp_smile:

I got 12 seconds both cuts on the 2153 and 17 seconds first cut and 18 seconds second cut for the 550. I may be off but I had my pen and paper out and watched twice.
