Mastermind Meets The MS661 C-M

[SAWMIKAZE]

A little early for that assumption

My ported 461 will blow that new saws doors off.

I really doubt it

My muffler modded, 32:1 belray running 445 will own bofadem!

Don't know if removing the baffle has any effect at all because the opening is very large so it actualy seems to be only directional and not restrictive.

I netted no real gains. Or we dulled the chain since the last video was made.

I'm not sure I believe thisopcorn:

I gained 1 second on the cut time......but I ran the same chain on a Solo 681 yesterday and hit the dirt. Jon is touching up the chain right now. He's sick as a dog.......got the crud. I've been trying to get the shop cleaned up some. Chain maintenance was low on the list.

 

[mdavlee]

You'll have that sometimes.

 

[Mastermind]

After touching up the chain real quick it went about 21 seconds. That's about a 3 second gain, and less than 3 seconds behind the 395XP.

"Beat" and "blowing doors off" are two different things. 20" bar sure, the longer bar you get that's where the 661C starts to really shine.

For the price difference though the 461 is all the saw most guys would ever need. But AS members aren't most guys lol.

Maybe Randy will concur...the "hand weight and balance" of the 661 feels like a 460/461 to me wearing a 28" bar/chain. The 660 feels heavier.

 

[Mastermind]

That's only about a 12% gain.......

I'm not done playing yet.......this attempt was just sort of a feeling around.

The 661 does feel like a much smaller saw than the 660.

Good start Randy. Lot's more to go.

I normally get a lot more on my first try. I hope I ain't getting senile.

 

[Fire8]

I don't want a 661 because anymore if it's bigger then your 650 will cut I'm not cutting it period I'm getting to old.

 

[chadihman]

You doing all these mods without a dyno is buggin the **** out of me Randy. Any plans to be in Va or Md. Anytime soon? I don't want any payment till you run at least 25 runs on it and like it.

 

[Mastermind]

I really ain't that sold on the dyno.....

I'm Ok with that What changed your mind?opcorn:

If you could find some way to eliminate the hoses and fittings to be sure they weren't causing deflection I would trust it's readings more. The way it's set up though, having to twist the hoses makes me wonder.
