MS 270 upgrade???

[CrystalRiver1]

Is there anyway to upgrade to a larger piston & cylinder on a MS 270?
I've heard it was possible with some minor modding.
Thanks,

Swap out a 280 P&C

Hardly worth the hassle tho

The ms270 really wakes up after a muffler mod and timing bump. I think it will get more of a gain out of that than a big bore would.

+1 I say muffler mod and advance the timing. Return of course. May be suprised how much better it runs.....

Here's an example of muffler mod and timing bump only on an ms280. I don't have a video of the 270 but this is damn near the same saw.

A MS 362 would be my upgrade...
