I haven't ran either one

I think the mtronic is just better than the auto tune in those saws

I must be the only guy that isn't that impressed with a ported 550. I'd take a 261 over one anyday

I've ran both side by side the same day and the 550 was such more enjoyable saw. Autotune is smoother adjusting than mtronic. I think the gen 1 AT was fine like the 576.

Different strokes for different folks, I really like my MMWS 261 Ver II, w/18" 3/8. Great power to weight.

Agree. The 550/2253 revs a bit faster and is lighter as well. 555 and 261 weigh and cost about same. Might as well get 60cc saw.

I think the 261 version II is lighter...

Are you talking about 261 Ver I or Ver II???

I'd never pay to have one ported, they run just tits with a muffler mod.

I'd still take a 261 for firewood.

I just love the way 550 sounds on the rev limiter.

That sound is all the screws backing out

You can call it a work saw if you want. If Joey had anything to do with it, it's gunna be fast

I've been to 3 gtg's with Joey there. Never seen him cut a round cookie

If you don't cut cookies what good are you ?

 

[MustangMike]

I believe "round" was the operative word!

That would look good on a t-shirt

I've done the same and feel exactly opposite. With a few warm start issues I tossed the 550 aside

I never had any hot start issues with either I had unless I tried to run 110 octane

The one I ran no matter how you restarted it, it took 3-4 pulls.

Seems they were hit or miss on having problems.

The newer AT12 carb 550/2253 seem run a bit better in general than the older generation saws.
