MS261 VS MS261 C-M Comparison

[Mastermind]

Now you've really got my attention. That's fantastic! So what's the trick?

I wish I had a good answer Brad. I just ported it like I would any other strato saw.

I've learned a bunch since I did my first one I reckon.

It's your NAME, silly!

Does it have .325 stock chain back on it in the last video?

No it's running square ground. But that ain't a race chain......just a converted chain. With some great angles evidently.

The OE is about a .5 second faster than the M-Tronic. Both fully statified. Both running that same bar and chain. I figure the timing advance might give the edge to the OE.

Randy, since you got all this new information in your masterbrain now, do you think you could get anywhere near the same gains on a 362 as the 261?

Oh Thanks Randy... :msp_scared: that I have seen this, I am contemplating sending you my 261 now.

And maybe my 440 with a 046 cylinder and piston to make a hybrid.... :bang:

You sure know how to make someones extra cash burn a hole in their pocket... :msp_sneaky:

 

[thinkrtinker]

Excellent thread and very well documented with videos.
Thanks for spending the time and effort.
I look forward to your next experiment

Ahh, just let it pass - chainsaws are just a fad.

I've said that for years now. :msp_sneaky:

 

[chadihman]

I need a cylinder for my saw now. I'm just gonna leave my jug on the OE and send it out. Knowing what I do now......I can't send it gutted.

I could probably help you out with a cylinder

I've got a 5.4 Liter Ford in the shop with five broken spark plugs and I've been sitting here for an hour and a half reading this thread !!!

If the price of gas rockets up due to our POTUS, we may go to hybred 10 speed bike powered saws!



Or not

Ford 5.4 is known for spark plug issues. Freaking heads are junk. Ford

Cant speak for the 440/046 but you will not be disappointed with a masterminded 261. He did one for me a couple months ago and I am always impressed with how strong it is. It impresses me more than my ported 372.

Was considering getting a 261cm but if the OE is still as strong I guess there is no need....

The latest and greatest version of randys OE 261 port job is just as strong, not that out dated thing you have:taped:

I tell everyone, the 261 is the best 50cc worksaw there is. :msp_wink:

I think the guy in Norway has some strong words about that sentence.
