Ya just finished a muffler mod on my 192 and liked the end results. Looking at the 261 and I don't know what to do.

 

[Jackjcc]

It's the same concept. Enlarge the stock opening under the deflector, remove limiters and re tune.

There are a lot of pictures of what people have done and some videos, try a Google search.

If you do the 192, the. The 261 shouldn't be a problem.

I did her pls on the 361 and 441. Looks like a toddler did it. I ended up bending and putting a little guard over mine cause the exhaust was burning my hands while cutting. I should have left the mod work to the grown ups.

Here's what I do to 241/261 mufflers.

I made mine too close together.

looks mint.

how do you know when you got the carb adjusted properly?
you make cuts on both sides of the muffler?

 

[monkeylove]

Depends if it is M-Tronic. If not then you just tune it in wood per normal. The chipped motors automatically adjustment, like magic.

If you aren't comfortable with tuning do not attempt muffler mods. Search for how to tune a chainsaw and you should find a post from blsnelling on YouTube that explains it.

I know I'm missing something here but what's this modification for exactly?

Performance.

Performance.

No cons?

 

[blsnelling]

A little more noise.

 

[Jackjcc]

No cons?

Don't listen to snelling, there's no cons

After watching some videos on youtube, I already knew that it gets louder, but I don't care about the noise. I meant cons for the saw itself. Any experiences about that?
