Yes sir… only thing I did was a muffler mod.

.325LP

Not bad at all if you take care of them. I wouldn’t recommend them for daily professional use, but anything else they’re not bad at all. As long as you keep up with the normal stuff like always keeping a good sharp chain, clean the saw & air filter after each use. If you take care of it, it will take care of you.

Believe it or not, I bought that saw wrecked, the previous owner had a tree fall on it. Once I got it all back together, I decided to port it. If you look around, you should be able to find a used one for around $700 - $800. Then send it out and have it ported or port it yourself. Thx for commenting 👍🏼

@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws. Thanks I have ported a few saws..was the 400c east port or not ?

@@dannohr2618nah, not difficult at all. Just like any other saw.👍🏼

@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws thanks man!

She’s a screamer! For normal use I have it outfitted with a 28” Cannon DuraLite SuperBar running full comp. Pulls it like a dream. Thx for commenting 👍🏼

Yeah, a little bit…😂

Thank you brother!

Thank you brother!👍🏼

Yes sir!👍🏼 thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Ha! Yeah definitely! I’ve never used one of Gordy’s. I usually get mine from Nick at RBS, or Jason Egan. World of difference. Yeah this 261 has a good life now, foam filter, ported, and runs a 28” full comp easily!

@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws I run 462 with gordys oil filter..best saw filter setup on market..never bought 261 0r 400 yet beleive they run same hose clamp style filters..not a fan of the max flow but it's only option for my 500i, s...the egan is never in stock..I do run egan straight shot on my ported echo 2511t...as far as different ones louder ..that's it. Red beard does good porting .but Gordy is the man when it comes to fabrication......Aaron Lynch did my 3 saws..the echo 2511t..s...got mine before the price jump been running them with stihl 14 inch polesaw bar and chain 0.43 since I started buisness 6 years ago or 7..on my 2511t s .......

@@Sethhaun78 that’s awesome man! Yes, the 261 & 400 are both hose clamp style. I have a red beard in my 462 also. That’s crazy that you can’t get the Egan filter, I went right online and ordered it and it was here in 3 days. If you haven’t checked out the 400, watch the short I posted yesterday of my ported 400. It’s an animal, anything from a 20” to a 42” and everything in between. Only downside is I have (2) 400’s so once I port the other one, I don’t see my 462 getting used much.

@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws is the 462 ported?also or for sale the 400 to...or what..also i was talking about last time I wanted 500i filter they were out

Gotcha, yeah, online orders are hit & miss depending on stock at that time. I have not ported my 462 yet, hope to get to it and my 500i this winter 🤞🏼 And no, I’m not selling any of them yet.😅

Doesn’t make sense how people can neglect something to that extent 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws my partner dropped my 462 out of bucket 60ft other week..I was so sick from heat 100 degrees and my liver I couldn't even look.at it took it apart and so far only thing I see broken is the yellow wire that goes to ground and the carb ..computer..it's toast.visualky can't see anything else but won't know yet

Man that really sucks! Just be glad no one got hurt! I hope you get it fixed up & running gains soon!

106, 127, 80. I’ve been thinking about going back in and changing them, but I just don’t have the time. And, I don’t think I’ve run that saw since I that video. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Way too many other saws to run.😂

Yes, I’ve heard the mk II saws were not all that great. What type of issues did you have? A friend of mine has 2 of the mkiii and at first, he was less than impressed to say the least. I told him about the results I had from just a muffler mod so he did both of his. He said after the muffler mod, they are different saws! He’s very pleased with them now. I’m anxious to port mine in the near future, but I’ve been so busy, I just haven’t had the time.

Thank you!

Thank you! I make them for a lot of my builds.

@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws well id love to have one buddy

@@AaronMorgan-g9hwhere are you located?

@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws I’m in Maine you ?

@@AaronMorgan-g9h Pennsylvania. What saw are you wanting one for?

Could be a couple different things. Some of the carbs are very temperamental. Set both screws at 1-1/4 turns out and try tuning from there. If that doesn’t work, check the metering arm in the carb. A lot of them are not set properly. Also, check spring tension on the metering arm spring. A friend of mine figured out that a lot of the Chinese carbs have too much spring under the metering arm. If this is the case, typically cutting 3 coils off the spring will fix it. Lastly, these saws are notorious for air leaks. If you have any way to perform a pressure test and a vacuum test, I would start there. Even a slight air leak will cause a saw to not tune right and or run out of tune quickly. I hope this helps! Saw safe & let em know how you make out.👍🏼

@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws thank you for the help. I think everything is OK on air leaks and all, it will try to start and run I have had it almost running and it was ripping just wouldnt idle right but my poor ol arm got tired of cranking on it lol will start at 1 1/4 turn and go from there. Also will check the spring. I used to have a good local saw shop I used but (she actually has a pretty damn big channel "chickanic" with like 500k subs i think) but they closed down recently unfortunately. My first time tuning a saw starting from complete shite. I have tuned before but they were already running, just poorly. Thanks for advice will keep u posted

Yes! If you are still running the stock muffler, you definitely need to modify it or build something for it. Get that heat out & let it breathe. They run like a different saw with a muffler mod! My ported & muffler modded 545 runs a 24” 3/8 drive full comp all the time. It will pull a 28”, but I like the balance better with the 24”.

@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws my lil 355t has an Egans straight shot and it really woke it up. Some people complain about the noise but never customers and the difference is night and day in the cut

Thank you for your comment.👍🏼 Personally, I have had very good luck with the stihl light es bars. I will definitely be keeping an eye on them though. Thank you for the information !👍🏼

Thank you and greetings to you too!👍🏼. Yes, I make those muffler cover plates myself.

Great! Thank you! I just picked up a 24” tsumura premium light bar, but I haven’t had a chance to weigh it yet. I’ll have to update when I do.

All the bars shown were 3/8 pitch and .050” gauge.

Thank you!

Thank you!

They are a bit better than the standard ones. They’re not OEM quality, but they are pretty nice. I’ve ported a lot of them and they have all held up very well. Hope this helps!

@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws thank you!

Hell yeah man! I can’t wait to see what kind of tricks we (you😂) can find in there when porting to really wake them up!👍🏼💪🏼👍🏼💪🏼 Stacking anything up against a 200t or a 201t is a tough challenge to begin with. But I’m hopeful that these mk iii’s have the longevity to pull it off!🤞🏼we’ll keep talking bro! Saw safe!

A lot of people would agree, and a lot would disagree. Personally, I’m torn between the 2. I must admit that the more I run it, the more I’m leaning towards the husky. Only time will tell though 🤷🏻‍♂️. Thanks for commenting and saw safe!

Rather have husky the 201t is not very great..usually run 3 ported 2511t s....80 to 90 percent of time if possible..

@Sethhaun78 ok Sir thanks again for dropping in I would like some day to opertunity to show in person what I really cando

@@Sethhaun78 yeah, I've heard from several people that the 201t is not very impressive in stock form.

@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws it's not..and as I'm older had health issues it's brick like shape and balance hurts to run so I run 2511t ported have 3...but I bought the first or second husqvarna t540 it was terrible..had bad seal crank case ..before I even used more than 1 tank.

Ported, muffler mod, & timing advance. I got mine from Wagner’s Chainsaws. Thx for commenting! Saw safe!

@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws mine just came in. Super pumped on it! It leaks bar oil when it’s sitting upright over time but other than that, super solid unit

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the awesome feedback and your personal experiences! 👍🏼. I won’t keep the 24” bar on the 43cc clone saw, I just wanted to try it & see how it would pull it… surprisingly well I think. The 24” actually belongs on my ported 545. That saw pulls 24” full comp with no issue in hardwood. (Oak & ash). Thanks again for commenting! Saw safe!

​@@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws I am glad to share what little I know. I just bought two clone saws, so I know what you mean. You don't want to risk shortening the life of your saw. I feel the same way. I just bought my new clone saws due to fond memories of my enjoyment of my two favorite saws the Ms361 and the ms200t. I can't even afford the clone of both saws, so I chose the ms200t clone as my priority and I chose the clone of the ms382 saw since it was on a big sale and with even more power. I'm sure you will get a ton of enjoyment out of your saws. Just keep them maintained and replace bad parts as needed and you will. I think replacing bad parts with OEM parts is the way to go if possible, to make your saws last the longest. But as long as you keep replacing bad parts as needed then it only matters because of price over the long term rather they are oem or not as long as they work good. 🤔 You sound wise, so I'm sure you will do well. 😎👍

That’s awesome man! Nothing wrong with the clone saws if you you’re handy.👍🏼 I would never recommend them for someone to rely on for their livelihood, but for firewood & hobbyists, they are great option. I honestly don’t know how many clone saws I have. Too many to count off if memory, that’s for sure!😳 I still have a couple g111’s that I need to build as well as several others. Between kits, & return saws, I ended up with a heck of a collection!😂. If you scroll through my videos & shorts, you’ll see several clone saw builds.👍🏼 good luck with your saws & saw safe man!👍🏼

I’m not really sure what you’re asking, but I’d be happy to elaborate & help out if I can. Are you asking how I put the pipe on it or how I got it to cut like that? For the record, the pipe was an experiment, I’ve since removed it and built an IH style pipe for it so the saw can actually be used normally now.👍🏼 didn’t really lose any power changing the pipe either.

Thanks Boedy! This video was shot on the first tank. I have since run a couple more tanks through it and man has it come to life noticeably more! 👍🏼😉

👍🆙BigGuy

I run Echo Red Armor 45:1 in all my saws without issue.

Thank you!

Looks like a husky

It’s a clone of a huaqvarna 543xp👍🏼

Thanks brother! Watching it you can clearly see where the gains are. They are almost the same until the majority of the bar is in the cut & that’s when the stock saw struggles and the ported really comes on strong. Exactly what I wanted! Thx again man!

Yeah right! I think it’s new😂😂😂

Every day several saws suffer from abuse😭 😂😂 We’ll make ‘er go again!👍🏼

Thanks brother!

Thanks brother!

Thank you! No money spent, I do all my own work.👍🏼. Original version 562. I’m looking forward to checking out one of the mark ii 562’s. Thanks for commenting! Saw safe!

Thx buddy!

thank you sir!

Justin👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Lol I'm serious. I'm getting into this line of work and not sure if a composite toe or steel toe is better

Those (my Justin’s) are just my kick around boots. I wear them around the house & shop because they are easy to slip on & off. When I’m doing tree work & firewood, etc. I wear Georgia boots lace to toe logger boots. Worn them for years, I love ‘em. As far as composite or steel toe, either one is good, I have several of each. Hope this helps man, good luck & saw safe!👍🏼

😂😂 for a 43cc saw, it’s way too much bar!😂 I just wanted to see how it would pull it, and it kinda surprised me in good way 👍🏼 Saw safe!
