Interesting, did you open up the brass jet on both of them?

Yes sir Terry. The 357 has a EL42, much the same carb has the 6100 has.

would it be possible to get some profile pics of the saws next to each other? Trying to get an idea on the size of the Dolly. No dealers around here and Id have to buy online to handle one. thanks

I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow. If I forget, remind me.

So maybe I missed it, but have all three been Mastermind ported??

The 357 sure sounded like the baddest ass in the bunch, but cut times showed that to not quite be the case... Close as it was.

I too enjoyed the march of the Guinea fowl.. :D

Love me some 357! Interesting to note, the 357 being the smallest in actual displacement, if even by a relatively small margin... I still think there is something magical about a good ol' 357xp :)

Bryanr2: I believe your comment above is 100% spot on the money.

Cool thread!

Yep. All three ported. I think I'll run that 357 again tomorrow with a proper tune.

You could save the wood until you have the 620 done. :nusenuse:

Well, maybe I can. I'll try.

357XP 18" bar, square ground chain.


Cut times:

9.69, 10.37, 11.16, then I fattened it up. I could tell that the hotter it was getting the less power it was making.

After adjusting the carb. 9.83, 10.20

Now, I think with the right tune, this saw might be fastest.

I think I am really going to like that saw! Thank you Randy!
Next up for me will be a 346xp that is about the same as that 357xp. Then it will be a 372xp that is much the same.
I have another 357xp that is nos and a 346xp ne and oe that are nos as well.

His is the 562.

The 562 is the only one out of the 3 I have personally used. It was ported by Awol and was very very impressive power wise, light wt., instant spool up/throttle response, restarted with one pull, and handled extremely well. I couldn't quite get my head wrapped around it all day. I didn't want to give it back.

Better get a safe. That's quite a line-up!

I'm gonna try a Walbro on it Dan. I think there's a bit more I can find in it.

I was going to ask if a 199 might "help" it along some. If you want to keep it awhile longer to compare it to the 620 that would be fine with me as long as it isn't to long. LOL. I am going to try and make the gtg, I will have this saw along with me and leave a couple saws with you for some more magic!
