201t ported worth it

[NorcalFlyingsquirrel]

Sorry to babble on but I did one 201 port to make a 200t like screamer by cutting squish and just flattening the whole snorkle base. Its fun with a 16" .043 x 3/8 stihl chain. I then did a torque build by putting a newer 201 piston in an older flat top saw and cutting the pop shape out of the squish. this allowed me to keep the snorkle and low case volume and raise compression so that one is not as screamy but pulls a buried 16" .050 3/8 full chisel like a boss. Not as fun but better for chunking.

That second style build does well with a 150 jug and 151 piston. Keeps up with a 2511 if Stihl is your flavor.

I like the 1/4 stihl chain on the modified 14" bar from the electric on a 2511. Its very smooth and fast for brushing out up to 14". I only sharpen it like once every 2 weeks and it just keeps cutting. Yes i lose a tooth every once in a while afer i hit something funky. I would love to have a 24" quarter for my 200 or 201 as they no longer have any other use. BTW i have not had carpal tunnel or tennis elbow since picking up the 2511 three years ago. Once im done with the 2511 i have them send up the 44/46 hybrid or timberwolf with a 28" elight just cause its so much fun but a 24" 201 would be money too. 024 super or 026 or a ported 261 is another very nice step up. Buy and port them all! I just cant figure out when the 036/360 362's weight is justified, but maybe i just ported them wrong.

They do smooth out the 2511t

I'm not an arborist, but here's my the MS201T that @Mastermind did for me. 3/8 chain in dry beech wood.
