Husqvarna 350 comparison video with cut times!

[jmssaws]

At least pull the muffler. Then folks can look up in it.

A 2 cycle is just a pump. It can only take in as much as it spits out. Open them muff's up....

Your a intelligent fellow.
Bigger the better I always say.
If it's not hurting your ears it's not open enough.

put 1-2 ounce of nitromethane in the fuel jug then run the test it would get interesting fast.

Oak or maple is fine. the longer the cut is in duration, the more it will be obvious which saws are fast and which are slow

 

[Mattyo]

Good clean grinding, good job.

yep, Dan did a nice job on the trigger I think

 

[beaglebriar]

On the subject of muffler mods I can say that I noticed a huge difference in my 353 after doing a similar mod to paragonbuilders.

Dang it I wish I could make it to one of these gtg's!! Turkey hunting is a huge priority in my life so the entire month of May is booked...Someday.....

I'm pretty sure he's talking about your port work Matt.

 

[Mattyo]

Ah, I was unsure of that...

In that case, Thank you! its not as nice as most builders, but I'm getting better. Not that it means much in this case lol!

I have 5 more brandy new chains on order, and a few extra new ones still too, but we can do the test however we feel like. I can throw brandy new chains on each one, or we can do same B&C for each...just takes longer.

Matt I have to say that I thought my saw was going to get trounced as well. I really didn't think the muffler mod would make much of a difference in the challenge.
Remember I ran your hyway saw last year! That's one reason why I bought this one. Lol!
However, this may be a good thing. If a LARGE, muffler opening really wakes this saw up stock, what will it do for your ported saws? This may take them to a whole new level!!!
Either that or my saw isn't stock and Wiggs gave me a spicy 350 for the price of a stock one.

this was my thinking also, so many variables involved.... i am thinking each cyl would probably perform optimally with a different muffler mod....
great job and effort matt, thanks for some good reading and vids.

Paragon...hope it's ok to post this pic of the stock saw

You're not supposed to see the piston when youre racing?[emoji6]

 

[jmssaws]

No point in pulling the muffler to check the piston.

I saw hedgerows 346 vid. Sounds kinda similar, no? Cuttin sumbeech, it was

Hey Matt, if you got the video stuff set up. and if I can make this GTG, I'd like to do a similar test comparing my 10 mm 044 to my new (to me) MS440.

Neither saw is ported, and they both have the exact same mods (HD-2 Filter, DP muff cover, 20/1000 timing advance and base gasket delete).

The 044 has a KS jug and the squish was 20/1000 after the gasket delete. The 440 has a unmarked jug, and squish was 19/1000.

I think they would be very close to one another, would be interesting to see. Any hardwood log close to 18" (for the 20" bars) would be good.

Whatta ya think???

I ran that saw with mike that day,extremely loud.
And yes,cuttin sumbeech

I would not pull that jug. ...runs too nice to pull it. Odds are we are going to find that it's stock and then the joke is on us.

Your saw dan...so do what ya want. ....but I would leave it.

I'll order a muffler to stick on there. And I'll mod a single one of my saws so it's as open as yours and see where that gets us.

Then we will run the whole thing again.

If you get everything ready for me, as in clean with holes you want cut and marked, I can Tig whatever you want on those mufflers and bring them back to Dan's with me on the 6th Matt. You can send me the deflectors you need. I do have some of Red's here if you don't have them, small medium and large. I can do one with each if you'd like.

 

[Mattyo]

Thanks al...one day I'll take you up on such an offer. Right now I don't need them adjusted. Maybe after the next comparison I'll need an upgrade

Waiting for the update, and special what is so special with the mm 350 who was equal or out cut ported 350's..........
