I really like the 242

Muff mod and trim the limiters so it can actually be tuned.A muffler modded rematch might be all it takes, those 346's are pretty stuffed up and wake up considerably just clearing out metal under the stock deflector.
That was an interesting and entertaining match, thanks for the vids and such.

They aren't a big HP saw and run out of steam in larger wood, but they sure scream in the stuff they likeFirst time running it, and I really like it!
Yeah, I couldn’t lean on it on the big end of the log (12” or so), but under about 8” was where it really shined.They aren't a big HP saw and run out of steam in larger wood, but they sure scream in the stuff they like
Being a non-top-handle pint-sized Mini-Me of the 288 is what trips my trigger with them..even has that ting-ting-ta-ting of the 288 albeit a bit higher pitched
I've found the exact same scenario to be true as well.Yeah, I couldn’t lean on it on the big end of the log (12” or so), but under about 8” was where it really shined.
Git some!Someone say xpw ?

I thought I might have to change the angle but after running it a while it's fine like it is. If I did it again ya I would go more forward.I would point it more forward, at an angle. I ran one like that on my 357xp, and it sounded great. Not too loud, either.
I wasnt surprised that 254 won it.
I agree Tor, 4 cc is a big advantage over a 50cc saw, almost 10%. I’m going to leave my 254 stock and Joe is going to mod his 346 then We’ll do his again, we think it will be interesting to see how the gap closes as the 346 is progressively modded.I wasnt surprised that 254 won it.
Lightly modded, the difference may be even bigger, 254 has a very restricted stock muffler, and it loves advanced timings not sure if the 346 can catch up if both should be lightly modded.
Fully ported I would still bet on the 254, its hard to beat a saw who has 4cc extra if it run with 210-220psi.....

The 550/2253 have a 34.5 mm stroke and crank stuffers. That’s a longer stroke than a 272. 562 has same 36mm stroke as a 372. The 572 has a 39mm stroke, longer than a 288. Seems like there going to longer stroke in the new models.Especially since it's plus 4cc in the stroke. Makes you wonder why they went backwards with the new model?
