My Buddy Dave's MS260 and an AM vs. OEM Jug Comparison

[paragonbuilder]

I think this is why most builders prefer Oem. I've never heard of a cylinder failure on its own, but when you don't know where you are starting it makes things tougher...

I see no value at all by using AM P&C sets on 026`s, so far the OEM ones wins all the way. I really am not interested in grinding out an AM set to make it work as good as a OEM set even if it can be achieved. Thanks to drf255 for this thread.

And it seems that would be the trade off. Save a little money on the jug, maybe, and spend the time trying to get the power out of it. I'm starting to see the wisdom in sticking with oem on any decent saws I'm looking to hop up.
Junk saws, AM has its place instead of throwing the saw away. I resurrected an old trashed 181 that really has not one saleable part on it with a $25 huztl kit. It cuts. It was worth it. But it wouldn't have been for a $180 oem kit...

Here's the saw. I let the uppers tight.

Saw is a beast al!

It's like those old Ginsu knife commercials! It slices....it dices....

That thing looks awesome.

You need to make yourself a good stand though.

Does it sound a bit like a Ducati Dan?

 

[paragonbuilder]

That's funny. I've never seen that before. That saw is really turning some rpm! Is that picco chain? Looks like a good cant saw.

I just watched that video again. I love these 026/260 saws. You are really getting these dialed in Al. Love it

 

[czar800]

Looks great!! Time for a decent stand... It's like that log knew what was coming and was trying not to meet the 260 again!

Anyone have a link to cant stand plans?

My ratchet straps disappeared from my shed.

Time to build something safe.

You'd probly be better off with a saw buck than a cant stand

 

[drf256]

Didn't know the term for it Deets.

That's what I need.

It's fast! Does it feel better with a tight squish?

Yes. Not sure if it's the 2* more exhaust or the squish.
