Makes sense, thanks guys. Anyone going higher than 12,700 on the high end?

Well I finally ditched the stock bar/chain. I didn't go 1/4 pitch, but got a .043 gauge oregon bar and a stihl chain. Ran it yesterday on a ponderosa removal and it was sweet! Might have just been the soft wood... I think I can lean out the high end a bit more, what is a good number to shoot for...

Really appreciate the help! When I fully mess this saw up, I'll send my next one to you :)

Finally had a minute to get the saw back together. Seems way better just with the muffler modification. Going to borrow a tach next week, what are some numbers to aim for on the idle and hi rev? I've probably only ran about 8 tanks of gas so far... Planning on getting a stihl narrow kerf bar...

Yeah, I think that's what finally smoothed out my chain, the next bigger file size with a little less hook to the tooth. I feel like I'm slowly getting all the info I need on mods (really appreciate everything) . Nutball, if you want to post a full start to finish mod video, I promise I will...

Great info! I was wondering how much of the chain issue was the slower chain speed...

So far it's been a bit rough. That has to be the worst new chain I've ever encountered, finally smoothed it out with a couple filings. Other than that, it didn't want to start very reliably the last time I used it. The weight is amazing though, and watching how people have them running on videos...

That's what I figured, thanks again!

When you say third layer do you mean the backside of the muffler? I think I’ve seen a couple different types of 2511 mufflers... should it end up being a straight shot through?

Thanks!

Is 3/8 about right?

I've seen a few different muffler mods... What is the best option? 3/8 hole just through the outside metal, or a straight shot through both outside and inside layers? Thanks!
