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

[RI Chevy]

That saw is really buzzing!

 

[Definitive Dave]

Al is a mad genius

 

[Backtroller]

Very nice! Dave will be very happy.

How does this saw feel compared to Colin's saw?

 

[junkman]

My 026 pro will not start either,am curious what the pronlem was also,mine will pop with fuel fed in the carb though,have not had time to mess witb it thouhh

Saw looks and sounds great. Got a couple of these waiting on me to get to them... what kind of wood is that? Bark looks stringy like cedar but wood is light in color...

Looked like basswood or sasifras to me. What's the diameter?

Good eye.

Cedar and I believe 10". Closest think to pine I have down. I find its only a tick faster to cut than hardwood because it loads up the chain more, you wouldn't think that but it's true-especially with picco.

Chain is picco, square filed by Mike (Canadian Farm Boy).

I'm guessing it's white cedar then, all we have around here is red cedar. It's reddish purple.

That saw looks pretty damn wicked, it will be 41.6% faster in soft Ohio pine cants
I have pico sprockets in 7, 8, 9 and 10 pin variety to try out with it and a standard 3003 mount pico 16" bar and a custom roller nose as well that might shave off a 10th of second per cut.
Plus the velocity stack and a few open foam filters to try.
I should be able to bend the very fabric of time with this saw

YEEEEEAAAAH!!!

I gotta get some of those cants

 

[Definitive Dave]

the cants are easy it is the transportation that sucks, they have to be kept at a perfect 38 degrees and must be cut within 16 hours of being felled or they start to get slow on ya
a fed ex refrigerated overnight delivery on a 10"x10"x8' cant is pretty pricey these days

Makes lots of video please Dave.

 

[Backtroller]

I want to see some cutting videos with all of those sprockets. Glad to see you will be going to the extreme with this saw. Very cool!

Al builds a sweet saw. The 036 he did for me still puts a big ole smile on my face everytime I run it.

 

[David Young]

Nice work. Are you trying anything with the others or just showing the comparison?

10"? Lol. Bet shes herd that before

Just showing comparisons David. The AM vs. OEM jug debate shows up a lot. I figured I'd post up some info on this particular model.

I'm not so sure that the 44mm 026 variant in meteor isn't any good. I hear it's cleaner than what you see above.

I can do a build with the meteor, I just don't see putting the time in with a jug that just looks like it will produce a sub-par product.

For a guy doing a stock rebuild, they probably will work fine for many years of service.

10"? Lol. Bet shes herd that before

Yeah right. I'd be making different videos and be in another line of work.

 

[drf256]

@Canadian farm boy makes some slick custom elbows and choke levers that allow the choke to work with the 044 carb and a velocity stack to be mounted. Stay tuned for another video soon and some pics of the setup.

Added the slick Canadian Farm Boys V stack elbow kit. Saw picked up 500 rpm. Happily 4 stoking at 16,200-16,300. Was still 4 stroking a little in the 17's.
