I believe it was 63ps3 but could be wrong.
We have a 181 with picco, and now I've got the 241 with 325. I would never voluntarily go with picco simply for how much longer 325 lasts between sharpening, especially when the wood gets dirty like seasoned firewood in a barn.

Ps3 I guess is the green link and ps is yellow link. Im pretty sure the pm or pm3 would stay sharper longer

Did the 241 surprise u reindeer?
It's sort of odd. It has some real grunt for larger wood, but it doesn't rev like you would think a 42cc saw would. I am thinking a muff mod will wake it up more and give better throttle response.
I am certainly surprised at the torque deep down, though. Feels more like a 50cc saw normally would when it's buried.

Ya thats the way it felt to me also. The muffler mod will no doubt wake it up. Recalibrate after mm

Pretty sure ive settled on a 241c 40cc class saw, and a 60cc class 362c, and a 461r 70cc class. Im thinkin id like a 2nd big saw with a sharp chain on standby and thinkin ported 046 or 044. Got another lil load today with the 461
Uh... how exactly do you recalibrate these dodads?

Crank on choke and leave on choke idling for 90sec. Move control all the way to off. Recrank and let idle in the run pisition for 90sec and move control to off. Recrank and make 5 fully loaded cuts. Thats it

It cuts plenty fast enough

Ya fast is one thing when play cutting but stopping to sharpen instead of getting work done sucks!!!

That why 90% of the time i just use SC i never know what I'm gonna be cutting from day to day
I did the MM and reset the 241. It's certainly more peppy. She winds out a bit more, too. But I think porting is in the near future.
The original port:
The after:
Also added two more louvred ports to the other side of the muffler. Not too loud, though. I didn't do anything to the interior of the muffler.
This chain has seen better days, but it's all I had for the vid. Here she is in surprisingly hard well-seasoned Larch(You can see the other ports if ya look closely, and at one point during the first cut you can see light through the muffler):

That's maybe 10 or so cuts after the reset.
