Just another junk chainsaw

[D'oh]

This US dealer shows a little different rpm with his clone 2511 then what has been said by another.
40:1 right out of box. He stated it does just like his oem ones he takes out of the box.
Going under knife next for some porting.

Guess they are flying off the shelf at US dealers going by all the folks posting them now too.

I recall setting up Husky 444's just before I moved on in Jobs 1989, Tuning them to 12500, and I thought that was Nuts back then.

Hydro were the only takers of the Saw, but we never seen one come back.

By that time, the local Loggers were all 266XP or 034/064 saws. They thought the 444 was too small, but it would out cut a 266 in Softwood

I recall the 242 being around 15.5k. Then the OE 346 45cc 14.7k.

This new echo 501 I picked up says 13k-14k max in info. But I turned her down to a safe 12.8k if I recall right. I like saws to be hair fat enough to clear up in the cut. Not so fat they dont preform though.

2nd day test cutting with 12" in about 10" with 3/8LP. The 1/4" micro mini set is in the mail from US dealer.

Turned it up to 12.6k today.
Ripping those tater chips.

Pic of spike these come with.

Muffler with pipe exit on these flow great.

Comparison of the clones. G111 200T 35cc - VM2511 2511T 25cc

Been running the G111 for years now. Missed my oem 200T. Clone cuts just like it.

Got to love the clone 2511 mufflers. They got it right.
Empty can with pipe.

No modding or extra cost needed. Man they flow great.

I told guy in my CRG FB over weekend I was going to want a 12" 1/4" mini micro set up for this clone 2511. After I tested it with 3/8LP.

I wanted smoother pruning cuts for fruit trees etc. She is so smooth in the cuts. Everything I missed in my 150T when I sold it with that set up.

I figured order would get shipped today. Well much to my suprise USPS was handing it to me today.

Sweeeeeeet and smooth as can be. 1/4 on 3/8LP off.

Oils like old school saws. Love that.

They took stihl bar design and made holes to fit echo. So no more drilling bars to fit echo's.

My Stihl MS151 is one of my favorite saws. I am always seeking it out to cut some little branch. I use it to limb all my pine trees after felling them. Lite and very fast.

A climber talked me out of my 150T. No biggie just a saw that can be replaced to me.

Clone 2511 weigh 2-4oz more then OEM weighed by 2 folks. We figure the extra bar stud and nut is part of that.

Selling like hotcakes at a social.

V-MODEST 2511 News and Rumors
First the rumors - stock in the US is getting very low with only around 30 saws left. It could be near the end of August before the next shipment arrives.
And the news is they will be offering the 1/4" setup option right from the factory! Also there will be a 14" option.
EDIT: The 14" is 3/8LP
It isn't quite clear to me if the 14" will be 3/8LP or 1/4" but the wording in the email from Julia makes me think it is the 1/4". I believe these two options will be part of the next shipment so any of you out there that are selling the Archer conversion kits (me included), don't get too stocked up. We may end up getting stuck with them and having our customer pool limited to only existing saw owners.

Whats on mine in micro mini now too 12".

Amazing the difference in weight alone of the bar, the chain and then both. 3/8LP and then 1/4" micro mini. So smooth for those pruning cuts.
