Just another junk chainsaw

[JeepHead]

I grab my modded 4910 more than any other saw. Beats the 026, 261 or the 550 IMO.

I have one that was modded by Kevin Lavanway in Michigan. It is a really nice 50 cc saw!

Kevin is in my chainsaw repair group. He is one heck of a porter.

His stuff reminds me of some of the ported saws I used to run way back. 346 372 etc.

Lot of porters out there today not on the same level as him to get the gains there.

Using the $99 shipped clone G2511 yesterday trimming monster pine tree. With the nano set up.
Made short order of it all with the nano and smooth cutting.

Clone of the echo 2511 that is over $500.

I did notice the cap plastic retainers twist up like that one guy was complaining about (that said he cut them off).
I just filled up leaving cap hanging like normal. Then right back in no issues.

Old pic but the set up.

I knew they were strong PP415 PP425 65cc and PP445 71cc. But dang PP425 on dyno.
445 was my favorite of these. Quad ports in 65-71.

Joe did a stock poulan 425 65cc on dyno then his ported. Said 9hp up goal on this one

PP425 just the updated PP415 65cc. Updated tank, air filter set ups and air injection, pto bearing seal set ups.

Guy in my chainsaw repair group did a video of his new build yesterday.

I made a meme from it for our morning laugh.

It does sound peppy.
But I dont see it replacing the 572 too, like I keep hearing from people. Just 562 class. Not by the way she pulls down in the bigger cuts.

For the folks that dont know why the G366 pro has a open cylinder.

One thing I do like on the pro version of this G366 is the better air filter set up. Hopefully the walbro carb on pro is better too.

If your research the cylinder that they copied and used on pro has been on the MS361 overseas since around 2013 OEM. Places like India, Malaysia etc. Still sold today OEM open port too over there.

2 cylinders listed for them overseas. But only the closed one was used in US.

Dealer that opens them up = I'll add some more. The closed and open are running neck in neck power wise.. but I'll say this, as someone who handles more FT cyls then, well more than 99.999 percent of the country, the pro cylinder is the nicest made ft cylinder period. 372xp pro being close second, but Def second.

one last thing, one of the most famous OEM Stihl saws was, well. Open port.. I do not favor it personally but a good saw is where you find it.


Some pics of the OEM and afm pro cylinders.


@newbury since you bought one. I dug deeper into the stihl ones the cylinder was copied from overseas. Instead of the one used in US.
