Randy, Ive run PLENTY of your saws. Your 390xp that you built for spike60 is by far a BEAST. Don't stoop down to others levels. We all know the extent of your talents, no need to get upset by some guy that goal is to try and rile your feathers, or in your case fur.

I'm just like anyone Matt. I make mistakes. The thing is.......I will go the extra mile to fix my mistakes.

Untill the actual owner contacts you, I wouldn't sweat it. I've seen old 056 stir the pot before. I think he gets bored living at his parents house and tries to see how much he can piss someone off. Id ignore it, good luck

Unlike mike, I am more of a month end worrier than a weekend warrior. This saw is stronger than my 385 by a good margin, but it's not like I run a bunch of ported 90cc saws

If it needs something you just let me know. It should be real strong.

I've tried really hard to make sure that anyone that has any issues with any saw I've done would have no problem letting me know about them. I will make mistakes.......hell I did over 200 saws last year. Surely someone has had issues. I've had less than five returns......
Sounds like standup work. Now I muse excuse myself, Mom is calling me for dinner lmao..

That's honorable Randy, but it makes it through 25" red oak in 20 seconds, which is a lot faster than I can think. I trust Ted's experience, and had been hoping he would have been thrilled with the power, but he is coming off ported 120cc saws
No jon, I cannot thank you enough for the help and the saw did what was asked of it.

I'm just really serious about the work I do Jon. This is something I plan on doing the rest of my life......

Sawing for Sanity
I wish that my old 660 would have pulled like that, although I suspect that wood was likely a bit softer than Hedge, Locust or Red Oak and I don't run square-ground as it doesn't seem to live as long in those species of ranch trees... Mine wasn't an R version either so it had the weaker oiler, which did me no favors in the aforementioned woods with a 36" bar. I will likely buy a 395 or a 2188 to replace it, but I would really like to try a 661 just to see how it feels. Either way handling isn't as important as stumping power as my Stumpbroke 372 is just fine in 16-36" wood... I have played with 4 or 5 of Randy's saws now and they are amazing.
Randy, dumb question possibly, but have you seen much of a negative consequence for the cranks/crankbearings while running a popup piston? I may send a saw or two to you, but I may just have you lower the squish if the pop-up will hurt the crank in the long-run (any more than the rest of the mods anyway) as they're going to be for firewood in hard-wood/hot conditions as opposed to cookie cutters... A piped 390 could be fun though...
Back to the 661...

Good to know.
Randy's done 16 or so for me and I have never had a single complaint against any of them other than they use too much fuel- but "hey, you have to pay to play". No issues, no complaints, no reason to look anywhere else for a builder. One thing about Randy- he is a better friend then saw builder. He stands behind his work, and I along with many others stand behind him as a builder and beside him as a friend. Fwends 4-ever.
