Scott told you that overheating the engine wasn't something you had to worry about with the mild mods you were planning. That answer somehow offended you. Please explain what you wanted to hear.....and why his answer offended you for extra points.

I'm the guy that doles out points BTW.

I think it was the “mild mods” part....

I was curious about extra overhearing with timing advance
Which Scott answered. Why don’t you just hike up your panties and build the saw then see how it does. You know, learn by experience accepting the guidance you asked for along the way. Pretty simple, but you decided to jackass it all up by getting into a pissing contest with Scott because your webfu failed to yield results for a tree monkey 550.

If he discounts what Scott tells him......he's not gonna listen to anyone.

Scott is like the Godfather of port work and stuff.

He might not realize that Husqvarna has tried damn near everything to make the 5 series stop having the hot start issue. And......not much has really helped. Adding a few degrees of heat ain't gonna matter to that saw......if it wants to start it will.....and if it don't wanna start.....

I realize it, guess it was bad judgment on my part for asking? What he had said is backwards from everything else I had experienced or researched on the matter.

Ok, I guess timing advance, pop up, base cut and changing port timing are mild mods. My apologies. Didnt realize there was so much more you could to do a 550xp to make them wild. Im.not offended, I'm just questioning what he's saying due to the fact it's not in line with what I've been told and found so far.

Hell no, it’s wasnt bad judgment to ask. It was a poor choice to be a disrespectful asshat when what you could’ve done is simply asked Scott for more information and furthered the discussion. He teaches by making you think and you missed an opportunity because you were a punk.

Since what you've been told elsewhere carry so much more weight than what you found here, I'd suggest that Facebook is a better fit for you.

Imo, until a guy has taken notes of different mods on 5 or 6 of the same model, all you're going to get is "mild". Especially without a massive increase in compression. We can hope for tricks and tactics from others along the way, but it can't be taught, only learned.

I've got 6 MS261s on the bench......and I'm doing the transfer entrances different on 4 of them. Then I'll run them all with the same B&C in the same wood, and video each cut. That way I can be sure which way made what differences. Without that sort of testing......it's tough to find real gains. Just making a little bump on a piston ain't anything ground breaking. LOL

julian and I have done a lot of cylinder temp testing on both stock and ported saws.
I don't think the lite mods your doing is going to increase cylinder temps
I don't know how you two get anything done with your pants around your ankles...

'Lite' mods? Uhh ok. Compression, rpms and timing create heat. This saw is already known to overheat. Maybe stick to a saw you're more familiar with, I'm looking for real answers on this model. Thanks.
LMAO...who the fúck is this guy??


I love it!![emoji38][emoji38]
