Any reason to muffler mod a 372xp xtorq?

This is what happens when you are up at 530

 

If possible shoot another vid ... before and after ... betcha you notice a big difference now that she can breathe !

 

I actually had brazing rods in my hands the other day at tsc. I’ve never done it but would like to learn. Any tips for a newb?

 

Gotta use the proper-rod ... any will hold it but you will get a “white dust” after the saw sits for awhile ... let me see if I can find the #

 

I’m also fond of the pop-rivet technique ... in combo with a 288 husqvarna deflector ... u can start with a 1/2 hole in muffler and enlarge to suit your application ... here’s a 261c with a husky deflector pop-riveted (it’s not a 288 ; next size smaller ) beauty is u can drill the rivets , enlarge hole and rinse and repeat until you find the right size/geometry

 

The 261c REALLY wakes up with this muffler mod ; squish tightened and modified and .020 off the key to slightly advance timing ... I have the equipment to deck the cylinder and mod the muffler for a reasonable fee ... I’ve run this against a few builders ported 261c’s and with a Razer chain I’m right there with em ... with above mods ...if I widened the exhaust and did some “flow enhancements” I believe the saw would be a force to be reckoned with !

 

i call bs

and besides the mtronic filing the key to change timing does not effect
the mtronic will goober the timing back to stock position

 

Haha, someone I have on ignore must be posting... I don't see nuthin!!

 

this is a family site fabz not one for your family reunion pictures

 

Looks good on a shelf. Those aluminum rivets won't last long in the real world

 

i bought a rivnut set i thought about doing deflectors with

 

Me too. So far so good

 

Really ? Had em in there for YEARS ... matter of fact the muffler will probably rust away around the rivers as aluminum don’t rust ! Hahaha

 

Then why does tree monkey do it?

 

with regular rivets if you drill them out you will be fishing pieces out of the muffler

 

It's a stainless muffler, so I doubt it'll rust before the rivets fail. Probably ok for an occasional use aaw.

 

Scott tested it, and with the 261, he found that the mtron will return the timing to factory specs

 

I must be remembering something else them. Does it do that over time or instantly?
