It's the blue gloves that make it look fast.

I think that is what makes these huskies fast. I'm wearing Stihl sun glasses and Stihl gloves. I even get a little crazy sometimes and put Stihl condoms on them for *s-words and grins.

Here is a little shoot out between my 562,262,254 and 346ne. @Termitebuffet

You start your saws funny

Well...

Metal air filters rule. I've never had a metal filter lose rpm.

Fwiw, to change from an early metal filter to a late 026/MS260 filter requires a different tank vent, a different carburetor, and a different rear cover.

This is @zeebee413 026. It lost 1000 rpm with the modified nylon airfilter. I repeated the test and it's true. But does it cut quicker?

This was the jug you saw in the NWP thread. It's 4 stroking at 16200. 220 psi compression.

Nice work on that saw. Very cool.

I timed the cuts from both videos. The results are really interesting.

WITHOUT air filter and tuned 1000 rpms higher
I got an average of 6.89 seconds

WITH air filter and tuned 1000 rpms slower I got an average of 6.75 seconds.

So the slower tune is actually faster. It's not faster by much but every little bit adds up.

I can only speculate that the fatter tune must be helping with the mid range rpms.

What do you guys think?

This is very interesting stuff.

I think it's fascinating. Thank you Mike.

My bet is that midrange in a ported saw, there's not enough fuel and it leans out more than we think in the cut. I may be really wrong.

 

[RI Chevy]

We always talk about putting bigger carburetors on saws, but what about bigger fuel lines? Get more gas to the carb to burn. Just thinking outloud.

I think this is where a good functioning dyno could provide some answers. Also seems like maybe we need to spend more time thinking about fuel delivery mods on our port jobs

Like to see a stock 026 on that same log back to back ...

 

[drf256]

I may have one

 

[RI Chevy]

I have one.

 

[paragonbuilder]

Me too. I made Al run it this spring...

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. He looked like he was trying to figure out what was wrong with the saw. Maybe the chain on backwards again. Lol

It was pretty funny. I just handed it to him and said try this. He had no idea. First time he pulled it over he stopped to look for a plug cuz it was so easy... Lol

 

[drf256]

I have one.

Do a video Jeff

 

[RI Chevy]

Of what. One cut without the filter and one cut with the filter?

 

[zeebee413]

I just think.. we see so many of these screamers we forget how much faster over stock they really are... be cool to compare

 

[zeebee413]

Me too. I made Al run it this spring...

Wow

Well made some separate videos today with a more even playing field. All four saw's are running 18" 3/8 with a 7t sprocket.
