Thinking about a cannon 18" supermini .370 picco bar and a Stihl ps picco square filed chain with a 7 or 8 pin sprocket?

Lighter , more maneuverable, and fast . I was surprised how hard u can dawg it and the torque it has for a little machine. Its got some breaking in to do Im sure but my ported 026 had alota torque at 195psi.

Im not too crazy about the 3005 mount 16" bar as it seems very short. Not many options out there but cannon does make a 18" lp picco bar in the 3005 mount or cannon calls it c1 mount. That would give alil more reach

Hows the throttle response after the muff mod ?.
I bit it will run a bit richer as well.
I use a .325 .063 chain and 7 pin rim sprocket set up

Responded much better on the trigger. Does anyone know if these saws like a timing advance?

Randy ported my one with no timing advance.

Its a pretty hairy little machine with just a mm. I think with the picco chain and square filed with rakers set it will be awesome in 14" and under wood
Nice saw looks familiar. I bet that she really can breath now. They really do have torque for as small as they are. I'm sure you could dog it if you pushed it really hard, but I was never able to, even in bigger wood. They sure are fun to run

I ran it stock and went straight to the shop and opened the exhaust up and recalibrated. Big difference!!

I like putting heatshrink over my handle. Gives that plastic handle more grip and cushion
That's the only thing I dont like about them is the plastic handles. Not sure why they dont put metal ones on them?? They do on the 241 VW C-M's. I thought about buying a handle for the VW 241 and putting it on, but not hooking up the wires for the heated handle. You would also need the upper AV spring from a VW.
