MS200T OEM Stihl cylinder poll and pro tip

[Definitive Dave]

Watch the videos and decide if there is any difference in cut, they are using the same bar and chain and the same pro user who owns a tree service and enjoys working on the MS200Ts.
They are both good running saws with OEM Stihl cylinder kits, can you tell a difference?

He stops short on the cuts to avoid getting pinched in the pine.

looks like the blue tape one is running faster but the white tape one is cutting faster blue tape losing rpms in the cut not so much as the white

Like 1 second faster?

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

Blue one is clearly the better saw.

What times are you coming up with in the cuts?

I think it needs redone with a sharp chain. He had to dog it in to get it to cut much.

The chain is quite sharp and the same chain was used on both.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

What times are you coming up with in the cuts?

How can you compare times when the log varies so much? I'm comparing the visible power output of the two as they cut. The blue tape one doesn't fall in rpm near as much as the other one under load.

Well then the blue saw seemed faster to me counting. Under 3.5-4 sec per cut. White was more like 4.
But that is not with a timer.

So maybe the blue has more low to middle torque? What say you?

I was hoping not to have to do this again but I need to it looks like.

If you can do it on the end of a log Steve, do we can see start and finish to time it would be better,
But I'm with Jim, blue looks to hold rpm better under load.

What are we comparing anyhow?

lets not let the cat out of the bag yet
Steve sent me the vids from testing a new part and he thought one was faster but i thought the other looked faster to me, hence the poll.

It was like the white tape one was slightly held back by the exhaust or something simple.

Ahh...
I'm going to say Steve is right! He's the pro!!!

It's a new recoil screw isn't it???[emoji12]

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

Are they both tuned at the same rpm?

 

[maulhead]

Saw in video #1 sounds different, then saw in video #2.

Saw in video #1 have a different muffler?

 

[dall]

to me in the videos the blue taped one seems to drop revs more than the steady torque of the white one ive watched them a couple times

 

[T.Roller]

I think they are the same saw. The blue tape is covering the w
