I just watched your video on the MS271 and now the 2511T. I own both these saws and love them. I did read in the comments on the 271 that when you finish a saw and give it back to the owner you like to see the look in their eyes when they bust it off. I see the same look when you crank it and run it for the first time. Pure excitement and joy. God bless you my friend!!!
Love my 2511t. Muffler mod (simply drill a 9/16" hole right where you welded the pipe on). Carb is ported (thin out the choke and throttle shaft and blade screw - red loctite 1st). 16" Panther 1/4 pitch bar and chain from Monkeybeaver. Bought a spare cylinder and ported it (used a diamond coated chain sharpening burr on the transfers), have yet to install the ported cylinder because it's just plain incredible as it is. 100+ tanks and she still running perfect. Redline oil and 90 no alky at 32:1. Thanks for the video - good stuff!
It's the screw that holds the throttle blade to the throttle shaft. It's head and threads are quite large and jagged and is located right in the venturi. Thinning and smoothing the head and trimming back the exposed threads (but not so far as to remove the factory staking) helps airflow and fuel atomization. If you try this mod, be aware if this screw comes loose, it will destroy the saw, make sure to leave enough of the screw to keep it well locked in place. I've been doing this for years and have never seen one fail, but there is some risk. If you make sure it's staked in place well or red loctited or both, chances of a problem are extremely low.
I just ordered one of these and was wondering if you thought there was any sense in advancing the timing or not? There is advance in the digital ignition already but It's something I'd be more comfortable doing than porting at the cost of these little things. I ordered an Egan pipe too rather than mess with these odd, shaped mufflers. I was pretty impressed with the gains you got with your muffler mod and I'd be fine with that and call it good.
I can’t believe. I posted that on the repair group for him And I got ZERO offers. Todd told me to gut the muffler. Per his request. He wanted it cut apart And I willing admit. I can’t weld worth a damn ESPECIALLY on metal that thin!!
@@bellhoppersaws I’ve never messed with a muffler so thin. I had my welder turned all the way down and soon as any heat happened. Holes appeared I apologize buddy Did he give you a good deal on it? I know it only had a tank or so of fuel thru it

What is the blade screw? Is that the idle screw?

I know all about the clutch flying off them lol. Took a while to find all the pieces.
That saw looks like it would be a pain in the

Lol its a mess buddy i tried to fix it but it just kept burning up

I apologize buddy
Did he give you a good deal on it? I know it only had a tank or so of fuel thru it
@@EcSsAwS welding thin metal is a real pain! I want to try TIG sometime for stuff like that
That things got a bad attitude now. Nice job.
Did you do any advanced on that, I've ported mine slight advance and it hits the the limiter in the cut ..might need a longer bar 10" 1/4😂
Yes it has a small advance on it about .007 thou off the key
@@bellhoppersaws only .7 christ I took about 18-20thou. I know some say 35thou is the sweet spot that seems a lot to me🤷♂️
do you sell any kind of muff for this kind of chainsaw?
What part of North Carolina are you from friend I'm in? North. Carolina final and I. Need? To know. Where? I Can send? My saws to win thay need work.
How much does a poor job that you just did on that 2511 T cost
How much to get on of these ported Bellhopper?
About 340 if you have a saw id half to figure it up if you wanted a new one done
@@bellhoppersaws If I take the saw apart and send you just the cylinder will it be the same price and could you do it that way?
