Redfin Built MS661 meets the Bark Box

[ManiacalMark]

I see a picture of one that either warped or was cut weird

So after 6 pages of drivel, is the bark box any good or what?

Buy it. Test before and after using same test wood. Bar and chain. Report back. Lol

On the 500i it picked up a little vs the previous day same sort of wood same sort of chains.

Thank you skeans.
I like the idea of just replacing the cover as opposed to adding another port in the muffler.

It’s a good way around fire season for around here where we have to swap the covers back and forth.

Mine for the 462 came warped as well exhaust flows around the edges big time and doesnt help the 462 has no muffler cover gasket.

For 75$ I’ll just keep doing my own thing

I wonder if it takes the FI time to figure out that it needs to flow more fuel?

The 500i and mtronic adjust lean rich like 60 times a second if I remember correctly so it should be tuned before you realize any different

It doesn’t seem to, running a 32 semi skip 8 pin sprocket in bar length plus wood stock wasn’t bad at all. Now with a 32 or a 36 it does pull a little better with a 7 pin sprocket well bucking the saw was 4 stroking in the cut.

Wow. Ok. I didn't realize that the saws adjusted that quickly. Better to be slightly on rich side anyway. TY

I'm sure it does leak there's no filler metal added.

Gaskets are easy enough to make if needed.

$75 bucks seriously ?

Does it "love you long time... ?"

They don't at all. My boss wanted to try a modded cover for his and it immediately took to it like a duck to water.

What length of bar are you guys running? One thing I’ve noticed in my little bit of time running falling timber is on the longer bar with more cutters these saws (500i) are happier. That said I could run an 8 pin before the cover but you feel the engine wasn’t working as hard when cutting with the 32 8 pin. When I jumped up to the 36 I dropped to a 7 pin and had it 4 stroking well bucking.

That particular 500 is rocking a "25 inch" stihl reduced weight bar and 7 pin sprocket. Plenty of guts for that setup.

Heck it should do just fine pulling an 8 pin with that short bar no problem.

Was 10% nitro involved?
