Hahaha. Bred you have to get one, this WT race is a blast. I'm even thinking about coming up with some kind of trophy made out of wood, I already have a few ideas.

IDK what the cc actually is but the piston on a 2550 mikes 1.615 and the stroke is @1.2 with a little change.
Not sure what the 2175 or 2150 is but they are the same and pouland list em as 36cc and the strokes the same as the 2550.Of the four I have nothing is newer than 1999 so newer versions may be different.

Well here's the one I finished tonight along with the first one, and a 5100 thrown in for perspective.
The wood is a maple burl. I don't have any cants and am running out of round wood except for HUGE and pecker poles, but at least it is relatively similar.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I got;
10 seconds-5100
11 seconds-New Wildthing
12 seconds-Old Wildthing
Looks like the new W.T. is pulling pretty good!

I think the WT's need to first be ran with bar and chain AS FOUND! I mean come on......putting a good sharp non-safety chain on them and that's modding in it's self!
I think you're going to hand me my own a$$ on a silver platter.
Honestly Mike, you can port a saw as good as anyone!!! IMHO.

Great running trio there Mike! I have a couple Wild Things I been trying to get going also. I tried my hand at mildly porting a 2375 WT, not had it in wood yet, waiting on a bar & chain. It dosesn't sound as mean as yours, but sounds a heck of a lot better than before I started on it.
Also have a 4018 WT, a strato version. I did a muffler mod to it. Havn't decided whether to try more with it yet or not. Neither saw has a very good P/C, lightly scored, but they now run and for next to nothing dollar wise invested in them. Will try to get a video of them later this week, when I get a bar & chain, and if I don't melt from the heat...
Gregg,

Gregg,
What can you guys tell me about a Poulan 2150? What size is it and is it a strato or not?

Brad,
I have a Poulan Pro 260 which is a 42cc saw if that would be of interest. Of course it is yellow and not the cool purple and green colors. I also have a 2050 and a 2175 if those would help you.

Brad, I believe the 2150 & 2175 are 36cc. I have a 2175, it is 36cc, runs well, non strato, its a 1997 model. It was a special Poulan 50th. aniversary thing.
Their basically a smaller cc Wild Thing.I think you want a 2375 or 4018. They are both 42cc.
Gregg,
