U will be fine to crank on start and let idle 90sec and cut off then go make 5 full cuts. Only makes sense it would calibrate idle and top end

I doubled the size of the stock muffler outlet. Really nothing to write home about. Times through the log were the same as stock. I might try a couple louvers on the other side, or open the stock opening up some more, but I doubt it.

First gills I ever tried. Dont look too good but work very well
Wow. You didn't **** around with the stock outlet. 
And with that pic, you can see how the brake handle seems as though it was made to loop around the exhaust there and avoid it.
Porting a 372XT today. If I am feeling frisky, I'll throw the 241 into the mix.

I took everything behind the factory opening. Throaty for a 40cc
OK, took the chain and raped it. It's nearly a race chain now. Here's the chips(not bad for 325, uh?) - and the v id to follow(this time in seasoned Sycamore. Yeah, it's not poplar, but it isn't that crazy stuff I was rubbing on yesterday).
And here's the vid:

Cut pretty good. You should try Stihl pm semi chisel picco its pretty fast and stays sharp.

Did you get your PM chain Keith?

I dunno. I like using the same file to sharpen both my saws(13/64), and the fact 325 lasts forever compared to VXl etc.
I think I am gonna port it very mildly- like just the intake and the exhaust. Open up the original muffler port like you did, and I should be happy. Well, you can actually open the exhaust port on the cylinder quite a bit, it's rather restrictive.
Then she'll get a 16" bar(for reals, not a Stihl 16" bar that is 14.5" like the one she's wearing now).

yes and very satisfied with the way it cuts

Id cut the squish and bump that compression if I was gonna port it. Imo that would be the only beneficial mod

Glad you like it....RM is the same way thats why i use semi chisel 90% of the time and if it filed right its pretty fast. Oregon VXL is nice too but i don't like their other semi chisel chain just the VXL

I'm not just looking for more power, I want it to respond a bit better and be more zippy for limbing, and to pull a touch more bar for reach(not for bigger cuts). As she stands, she's still a bit of a pig compared to my previous 40-50cc saws. I need her for a LOT of Rhododendron clearing, and small trees. More intake and exhaust ought to get me there. I'm told the transfers are fine where they are.

What other kind of 40 or 50 cc did u have that was stronger?
A ported 42 special, ported 444se, ported Echo 520, etc etc... the 444SE ran 3/8 chain on a 16" AKA 18"(if yer Stihl) bar.
And that's set rich for break in... leaned out for cookie cutting, it gets angry.

Looks strong . No reason that 241 especially ported, sholudnt run stronger with the right chain. Chains make a HUGE difference. Do u square file any??
I dont know if a 241 would run with that triple 4 keith..chains bridge gaps but not canyons

That 444 looked to have excellent torque in the cut but not too fast but I know that chain and type of wood has alot to do with speed too

Thats impressive for a small saw Reindeer!! Im starting to appreciate saws with torque for no bog instead of flat out speed. A steady cut self feeding saw is what I like now days
Naturally , as he said it was still a little rich , i had a 444 timberwolf ported for about 6 months..it was stronger than a ported 241..no questions
