Put a ms250 carb on it just block off the carb impulse on the carb.
And drill many holes in the air box
Open the muffler some
You'll be surprised
I did that 15 year's ago for a 017 I gave my nephew
It's the only saw he'll run.

 

I'm probably messing up here on this

Walbro MS250 carb already on the way. It's getting all the Iron horse lol.

 

I was wondering if you were smart enough to catch that. You are smaht enuff!

 

Took my wife for a ride to see the fall scenery today and ended up in the saw shop...... didn't get to buy nothing though...

 

Well you did see some nice orange fall color in the shop! Which one would you buy given the chance?

 

Not a 500i....too much dough, and don't like the way it feels...plus I don't want to be like everybody else....
I'd prolly buy a 462.....or, I might just go down the street and buy the husky 390 I've been waiting for years.

 

Did some 50cc saw comparison the other day.
353, ms261, and shindaiwa 492.
All running 20" with .325 chisel chain.

353 wins in the handling department, 261 is fastest and most expensive, and the 492 is the lightest, cheapest, and has the worst av.
All three are great saws in their own way.
I'm hoping to do a bunch more side by side testing this winter with the three of these plus my 346xp.

 

For all you saw polishers:



And the muscle saw. SCarr394 doing work.

 

SCHallenger met me at my sister and b.i.l.s place this morning. This is a little of what transpired. In case some of don't know him, he's 85 years young.

not being too well versed in saws other than Srihl & to a lesser degree Husky, where does Echo fit in the equation?

 

That’s one big sum beech! The log you guys Good for you SCHallenger for being 85 years young and still getting it done! Looks like you guys had some fun

 

SCHallenger cuts every cut like he is competing in the STIHL timbersports.

 

We did. First time he's met my sister and brother in law. That gully those pieces were being dragged out of is way steeper than it looks. You have to use the chain to walk your way up at times. 25-30 ft down from flat land.

 

Yep. Its cool to see. That 462 is a ripper with only a muffler mod and timing advance.

 

God bless him. Hope i can cut like that if i make it that far.
I see he wasnt using one of your saws ES?

 

I assume you mean the shindaiwa because it's an echo product.....
All three saws are 50cc's.....the Stihl is a screamer, (but you know all about the 261) the husky is a nice balance of speed and torque, while the shindaiwa/ echo pretty much relies on torque because it doesn't have much high end stuff.
However, the shindaiwa is new and has had only 2 tanks of fuel through it now, and echo saws are known for picking up a noticable amount power after 10-20 tanks of gas...... that has definitely been my experience with my cs620p... Of course more break in time ain't gonna help the av quality any.

 

Oh no. He comes well prepared. He had with him a ported ms201, ported ms241, ported ms261, i think it's ported, and the muff modded / timing advanced 462 hes cutting with in the vids. Its all he used today. Lol
I just took my 241.

 

Did not know the shindaiwa is an echo. Learned something new here again.

 

Yup echo annexed shindaiwa awhile ago I understand.....

 

Quite the ensemble. Think he'd sell me me his 241?
