Mastermind Meets The MS661 C-M

[AKDoug]

How did Madsens measure that gain? Do they have a dyno?

Yes, they have a dyno.

 

[Stihl working hard]

My ported 461 will blow that new saws doors off.

As stated by other AS members a 20" bar on both the 461 and the 661 may be true but you put a 36" bar on a 461 and a 661 and then you will see a difference remember there is no replacement for displacement

God's damnit, I just bought an 066, Now I'm going to need a 661... Thought things where hunky dory with the 046/460 then randy opened up a 461, now I have two of em...

And yes the 461 is a bad ass right up until you put a 36" bar on it then it looses to the 066, mostly do to low oil and a smaller clutch rim IMO.

I'm still trying to figure out the right way to go on porting this one. I've not got it figured out yet by any means.....

I've been reviewing this thread watching and re-watching the videos. I've done it enough for my wife to realize it's the same thread/saw from a passing glance walking by. Last night she asked me "Is that the one you want now?" I played it cool and talked it up like a pro. She gave me "0" opposition and just said "well this comes at a good time cause there's something I want to." I replied, "Deal!" without a moments hesitation. Since I have permission now, I just need Randy to come thru with the port work and give me "just cause" to need one in my collection.

Nice. Always good to have the wife on board!!

Someone said Madsens got an extra HP out of this saw.......that's just a 13% increase. Not enough for me to call it good.

 

[bryanr2]

40% or bust! That's what we've come to expect.

 

[Mastermind]

The real discussion about this saw is happening somewhere else.

 

[bryanr2]

on my way.

Feeling left out...

Those guys are mean fluckers over there.

One post thread derailment, if you haven't read it already try to find "The Maneaters of Tsalvo" if I remember the title correctly. A very old book that the movie was based on and seemingly unintentionally one of the funniest books I ever read. How many people have ever approached a rhino on foot and shot it in the butt with a .303, then thought this was so entertaining that they did it again! In case anybody wonders, no rhinos were harmed on that occasion, or maybe as much as a fly bite at most.

And, a 13% gain in power will probably not make a saw 13% faster through a log.

Somewhere else takes too much time to sift through the poop jokes to get any real information.

Tom Wolfe is speaking at the Lincoln center tonight.......well of course we're going to throw poo at him

 

[Mastermind]

At least the ****ing notifications work like they should there.

Agreed. I went through the last several pages and didn't see one post about the saw. I gave up.

 

[Mastermind]

There are a couple of pages in there somewhere about it.

And where are the pictures on old threads ported over from the old software? Arrrghhh!
