I don't know if anyone can stand another saw video but I finally got brave and decided to post up my first video. I really had to trim this video down because the audio was terrible with wind noise and my narrator skills leave something to be desired because I was nervous about doing this and I just not as good as some people about getting up in front of a camera so I cut the first part f the video out where I talk about the saws to give some back ground info.
These are three saw I have been working on since last fall . Poulan 3700 I made from donor saws and two MS 361's also made up from donor saws from members here on the sight. The 361that is in the middle is stock . The 361 on the far right has some porting work done to the cylinder , major muffler mod and limiter caps removed from the carb . I just wanted to see if I could do some actual porting and see if I could make a 361 a little faster than a stock 361. I got help from the members in the Poulan thread and on the porting from the members down in the modded work saw section downstairs in the hot saw section. Thanks for the help guys.
All three saw have about the same size engine . The Poulan is no slouch even though it doesn't have the chain speed like the 361's . I like cutting with it especially with that bar and chain combo that is on it. It can be a little testy to get started but once started it fires on the first pull. The 361's didn't turn out to bad either considering they both came from used parts . I only put new rings in the Poulan and that modded 361 along with a few other aftermarket parts that I was short on.
All three saw are pretty much running the same style chain . The Poulan and the stock 361 are running that Oregon Powercut 72 EXL 072 full chisel chain with only 1 depth gauge. Good stuff I like it. The modded 361 is running Stihl RS full chisel . I sharpened the two Stihls for the video . I sharpened the Poulan awhile back and cut a few trees with it and just wanted to see how it would do and I was surprised it kept up with the other two saw.
Enough rambling , let me know how I did. Good or bad
