What about fuel consumption and noise levels? |

| You'll save fuel because you are cutting so much faster and that will mean less noise too! ![]() Seriously, I had a modded saw, muffler job etc and it was slightly louder but not that much nor distinctively much. On the fuel side of things I didn't really notice a difference either. Also, Scott. Which way does that tube point ... away from the bar? As currently when you are cutting stumps low and on some trees it gets pretty bad blowing dirt and crap onto the saw chain. On paperbarks I've set them on fire with the hot exhaust blasting at the bark. Looks like here the tube is pointed away from the cut or when lying the saw on it's side for a finishing stump cut blowing away from the "action area". Just need Scott to confirm that ... then again he could point that tube where-ever I suppose as they are custom made.

| The new piped port gives the saw a nice deep throaty note, Yes it is louder. And of course with more power comes slightly higher fuel consumption, but also more lubrication and lower operating temperatures. Quote:
As you hold the saw in front of you in bucking position, the hot gas exits to the left and forward of the handle. Yes, I could pipe the exhaust any way you like, and I could also lengthen the pipe and run a support to another part of the saw to protect the cylinder from stress.

Scott I have a normal ms440 purchased from USA. Nothing special about that. Now here's a proposal for you. What I would like to do is run a bunch of timed cuts through a nice, parallel, consistent palm log. Then swap out the muffler on the same saw and run some timed cuts with your muffler. All to be recorded on video in real time. So as to ensure no BS enters about chains being dull etc I will fit a brand new chain for each trial. If you can send me over a muffler, once swapped I can send you back one too, a brand new one untouched. Is it a deal? I'll PM you my address.

I run an 18" bar, oregon power match plus I think, top of the range anyway. 66 links in chain. Before you send tell me how much chain costs as I'm running low. For interest what sort of chain and how much for say 25' roll? I would like the exhaust pointing away from the bar coz when I do my close to ground the current exhaust blows shit all over the chain and me. Just point it off to the left at a 45 degree angle and up at a 45 degree angle. That way it shouldn't burn your hands or the tree. I have attached diagram of what I mean from a saw I found on the net. ![]() A screen, dont bother, I do mainly urban work. I'm not a saw racer, I'm a tree worker. I do not want to compromise torque or bottom end power for RPM's. Often I stop a saw mid cut, clear crap outta the way and have to hit the throttle again to keep cutting, Stihls are good for that, Husky's prefer their higher rev range and dont respond quite as well IMO. As far as the air cleaner goes I dont know, I like the current 3 levels of defence, the felt, the paper element then the foam. It gets pretty grubby I assure you, I would not feel comfortable with just foam.

Chain is 3/8's 050? Can do semi chisel or full chisel. What ever you prefer. As far as a 25' Roll goes, I have to think that shipping will cripple that deal. I will begin working on the cover right after posting this. Thanks, Scott. |

I get them with no bar or chain. I fit the bars etc here, less weight and cost.

Well the first Wojo Muffler is on its way to Queensland, Australia. Should be ther in 5 - 10 days. Tomorrow, my first muffler to be shipped to Great Britain will be sent out. Thanks for the opportunity Eric, I anticipate your Honest evaluation of the muffler. Seems very appropriate that you are the very first person in your country to get one of these mufflers. With Great Esteem, Scott. |
