That's a mighty effort for a 50cc saw to pull a 32" bar. Impressed!

[@poparamiro]

Thanks, best regards! 🤝🤝🤝

[@afellowinnewengland6142]

For anyone thinking of trying this at home: be aware that the oiling system will not supply enough bar oil at this length. If you want to try this you need to swap in a different oiler. However the oil tank won’t be large enough to keep up with the consumption rate if you usually wait until the gas tank is empty to refill your oil.

True, this is just for testing... Thanks for watching and comment!

Cool test, thanks for posting! I have a 261 c-m, i like that you added the reset process in the video aswell. Also props for keeping your cutting technique as similar as possible. Do you think 3 gills with a dremel is ok, or do u think i need a exhaust deflector like u made ?

I'm not convinced the solder will hold up to that level of vibration. I assume that's why most muff mods are welded. I also am curious as to how that thing oils?

Does it make the saw louder? Or just change the tonality? Great video, thanks.

[@poparamiro]

With deflector, it is not much louder...

[@erniiaylien]

​@@poparamiro thanks again for the video. It was the main reason I tried the mod myself and I am really happy with the results... about 14% faster with same bar and chain. Although i might have gone a tiny bit too far and lost some low end torgue... a bit try and error, lessons learned for next mod 😂

At 4:46 a spark came out the front is that normal? I'm a newbie to saws😊

[@poparamiro]

It is normal, thanks for watching!

[@williamgrissom1995]

He bypassed the spark arrester so sparks can and will come out of the muffler sometimes now. But without the mod, the spark arrester screen keeps sparks from shooting out like that.

One of the best examples of an ms260/261 pulling a long bar I have seen on utube. I run a standard 3/8 25” stihl bar on my ported and piped clone 260 and she will keep up with a stock 390 all day in oak, ash, and hickory. A good port job and some muff work. Will make a 260 dangerous you have to put a 20 or better on it and plus light saw with a longer bar makes it easy on ones back.
