Agree 100% but running full throttle with a ported saw that bumps the rev limit super easily is tricky.
I guess the trick is to push on it more and take the rakers down.
I tried 40:1 royal purple and got an alarming amount of carbon in my ms261 & MMWS ms462.
The 462 fouled a plug in 5 tanks.
I run them at least 3/4 throttle with not much idle time.
I switched to Echo brand at 50:1 and recalibrated both saws. Not enough run time to inspect plugs yet.
Yes, stove wood. Also fireplace.
The saw was bought specifically to buck hickory and Locust. Bucking That stuff will kill a 50cc saw in no time flat. With a brand new chain the chips look like a dull chain.
Tough stuff and heavy as lead.
My helper and I were cutting shag bark today. 24" bar on my MMWS 462. Full comp full chisel and it still bumps on the rev limiter buried in hickory. Absolutely wonderful tool.
Thanks @Mastermind
It comes with .043 LP 3/8" 56 DL.
All my other 16" saws use .050 3/8" 60DL.
I know it uses an Oregon bar OEM so in theory, I should be able to find the bar easily.
Anyone know what sprocket it uses?
Made a bed liner from ag supply horse stall
Mat. OEM was $150 and did not look thick enough for ugly firewood grade.
The 4 D ring tie downs are under the mat. I will move them on top using longer bolts. They will serve as anchors to hold the mat down and be functional load anchors.
Definitely research the 1000 vs the 700.
I couldn't justify the 1000 cc. The 700 really does everything well. The 1000cc gets you more top end speed and a true low range, neither of which I have needed.
That said, I have the deluxe model 700 that allows me to shift manually. The base model is...

Love this little rig on my 40 acres.
Dump bed is awsome.
Added a bed liner so I can toss in those uglies! I made it from horse stall mat. It's thick stuff. There are D rings in each corner (under the liner) that I will relocate using longer bolts. They will hold the...
