    The MS150 Has Arrived

    So is this thing a removable cylinder or a clam shell engine ? I've never even seen one .

    The MS150 Has Arrived

    Just as general conversation they have made great improvements in battery powered tools . It's almost like computors, the power level goes up and the price comes down .

    The MS150 Has Arrived

    Bradley David Snelling is more of a hobbiest type engine builder .He does so because he enjoys it kind of like myself . I run into him about two three times a year .The last he had a Mall model 6 totaly restored. The finest example of a rebuilt refurbished Mall chainsaw I've ever seen . Ole...

    Opening that muffler I think did more than jumping the time .If it can't get out it can't get in .Seeing how it's a removable cylinder rather than a clam I have no doubt you can make it sing .

    The MS150 Has Arrived

    I for one get great amusement of enhancing small displacement saws .It was two ornery rascals namely Dave Neiger and John Lambert AKA Gypo Logger who got me interested in the little things .They both showed up at a GTG once with little super saws with tuned pipes and it was game on .:D

    The MS150 Has Arrived

    I've never done any chamber reductions myself .It makes sense in a way creating basically a hot spot to start the burn kind of like a prechamber diesel. It also makes sense that if you reduce the chamber size plus cut a tight piston to head deck it would raise the comp as oppossed to just a...

    The MS150 Has Arrived

    Which brings up a question .Do you see a big improvement by lowering the cc's of the combustion chamber as opposed to taking the compression into the stratosphere like over 200 static ?

    The MS150 Has Arrived

    I don't know weather it is or not .If the dealers in Tenn use the same distributer as they do here which is out of Cincinnati Ohio that guy is pretty much up to date on about every thing .In defense of Stihl generally speaking they do about as good as Caterpilar or John Deere with getting parts...

    The MS150 Has Arrived

    Eventually Stihl or whomever if there is a big enough market somebody will make parts .They might be okay or they might not be depending .This little saw is too new though for any after market stuff .

    The MS150 Has Arrived

    That stigma goes with just about any German engineered thing there is .We deal with it all time at work .If they get too chitty about it before too long the stuff gets retrofitted and they get cut off .Simple as that . Now as a general rule the stuff is top notch it's just after a while it...

    If that little rascal takes a special chain that would be typical of Stihl to come up with that nonsense of something only they make .

    The MS150 Has Arrived

    So it's 1/4" instead of 3/8" lo pro ? If that's the case it might not be a bad idea to either hang a 50 thou or even a 43 thou 020 bar on it if it will fit .If you went with 50 thou at least you could run super pico whatever number that is which is chisel . I know on a 200T that stuff really...

    Coincidently I just got a flyer from Baileys today .They have .043 mini pico on sale 12 inch loop 8.99 ,14 for 9.99.If you aren't set you need to run Stihl chain this stuff cuts better .Fact I have a 12" loop I ran on one of the 200Ts' for a while .
