    I can vouch for the 261 and 441 after porting. They are amazing saws.

    My 362C-M will be home this week. It's one of 3 he was talking about. And another was member Jrsdws. With a ported 362 around, I went and got my old 562 from my BIL. It's stock, but want to do some comparing. :)

    I had mine out today. It is a good runner. Very good. I imagine it has some serious snort ported. Can't wait for the full report.

    I expect them to win the 65cc 12x12 shoot out we got going with 7T and 8T. Make your choice in the thread Randy. I took it with 7T and Dex took 8T.

    Oh.........I somehow missed my FedEx driver today. Really odd since I'm right here in the back of the house with the shop door open. I heard the mailman and went to give him some parcels and found a door tag from FedEx......said they had missed me. Never heard the big azz FedEx truck though. :confused:

    I called and rescheduled the pickup for tomorrow. All together 11 saws are heading out of here. Two today via USPS bound for OZ, and 9 tomorrow via FedEx.

    I think I still have video of muffler modded 262 3750 and a ported 46cc 346 with 3/8 in 8x8 for fun. Using same chain on all.

    Have you opened up either of the 665's?

    They really are nice machines. :)

    I think Randy is clearing the deck so he has time to play a bit with them. That being said, perhaps he will come up with a screaming winner by the mid fall. I, for one am REALLY interested in what comes of the CP jug and if the timing numbers for the 65cc jug are close to the 681/7900 numbers as he suspected. I am a torque sort of guy so RPMs are sort of secondary to me anyway, I'd like to see if torque can be improved in an already torquey saw.

    You sort of have to understand the mindset/challenge to a mechanic, builder/porter. It is not about taking a modified saw out of the box and cutting wood with it; sure that is important but to a mechanic/builder it is the proof.

    The real fun is figuring out what the designers were after when the saw was on the drawing board and in development then to see if you can beat them at their own game by improving on what they did, or only had the budget to do. That is where the real fun is at, being able to discover and understand the design without the aid of the original design criteria and then taking your new found understanding and improving on the design. Sometimes it is obvious, sometimes it is not! So, to be able to sit in the quiet of your shop and ponder what the designers were after is the heart of it, then comes improving on the original design. Then to take your modified saw out and cut wood with it and feel/measure the difference you made or didn't make is also part of what keeps builders doing what they do!

    :thumbs: I hate to keep jacking Chvymn99's thread with other stuff, but the 665 is a very torquey saw. You can really lean on it in the wood and it keeps chugging. And mine is far from broken in.

    Nah, dont worry about that Dex... But on that of 665 topic. I burnt another tank between yesterday and today....Man that thing is quite the machine with all that torque it produces... I'm finally starting to get use to starting that thing and shutting it down. The second time I went to use it. I forgot to move the switch from stop to start. Whoops, she got flooded....:whistle:
