Newest addition 241c-m

[wyk]

I should hope a ported 044 out performs a 241! Heck, an not ported 10 mm 044 will out perform a ported 362. Size does matter!

Not limbing, it won't. The best limbing saw I ever used was a Wicked Work Saw 361 with 210 psi. That thing was a laser.

I wonder how many people fascinated with 10mm 044's have ever used them. I've used them - my bog stock 046 kicked it's ass four ways to sunday, and a muffler modded 372 wasn't far behind it. It's not suddenly a ported 044 - it's just a slightly more stout 044 is all.

My 046 would not out run my 10 mm 044s stock. I understand the 1st yr 046s have different port timing, and perhaps foreign ones do also. Ditto for my bother's 460, and another one that was at the GTG. Ported, the 046 really woke up, and IMO is a really impressive saw.

Care to share your 046 SN? Also, did it come with a dp? (some did). When I saw an experienced AS member post that a dp muff and filter could make a 044 run a s strong as an 046 I was skeptical, I am not skeptical any more, that guy knew what he was talking about.

460's were never very strong.

Hell if I know what the serial # was. I used to have a video of a 10mm 044 vs 046/372 etc. The 044 was strong. But acting like it was ported? nah.

Looks like a nice saw. I never said they run like they are ported, they just run very well for not being ported. If you are looking for a used saw and don't have the funds to get it ported, a 10 mm 044 or 1st yr 046 would be high on my list of saws to look for.

Adjust the L needle

I haven't noticed it, but don't have a lot of run time on them.

I'm considering boring out the carb...

 

[wyk]

Yes and no. I'm still not 100% sold on the saw, and it's really pricey for what it is. Had I been able to get my hands on one today, I may have walked away from it all the same. That's why I didn't have them order one today for pick up next week.

Jis sayin...

I'm not talking about the power, but the responsiveness. My 044 is more revvy and quicker than that 241 in the vid.

One of the thing some seem to miss about a limbing saw is the thing is meant to be responsive. Unless ported, the 241 is not what I would call responsive. Same with most stock saws that are strato charged, and even some ported ones.

I may disagree on this one. All my saws r ported except the 241 but they r all very responsive

Jis sayin...

Yeah, but its only half the hp output, and no M-tronic...

Yeah, but its only half the hp output, and no M-tronic...

But 1/3 the cost! Gowan! You want it!

Alil high but an awesome saw!!

 

[wyk]

I need bigger dawgs for buckin

 

[wyk]

Enjoy some birds singing.



After I let it idle, im showing how it can bog , but only if it is sitting upright.
Rakers are at .030. She seems to like them low. The first cut is to show how much you can lean in to it.

Remember when I Said I needed 325 for dirty conditions. Well, how about filthy? This is me today:

Fishing an ash, a beech, and a chestnut - all fallen down, all in the pig stie.

 

[wyk]

Heh, I like how the oak on the right makes all the trees look small. Let me put it this way, the oak directly in front of you in that pic that the beech is behind is 2' DBH. The left limb on the oak to the right on the corner of the stie is larger than the oak in the middle.

 

[wyk]

Got me some full chisel, standard kerf, 325 chain. Whatcha think?

 

[wyk]

This ought to make Keith happy. I did this today while I was working on a few other saws on the estate:

 

[wyk]

New port timing numbers. More intake, less exhaust. Same transfers. Compression at 188. Squish set to .018".



That is in Larch and English Oak. That Oak isn't quite as hard as the ash I have been cutting lately. But in it's defense, the ash I have been collecting is mature and been growing in a dry area, so is quite hard for ash.

Looks great
