I think Mastermind takes some timing out of some saws as they about have too much, and leaves it stock on others. I think older stihls had a lot of room for improvement with 8 degrees for idle, and 16 for higher rpm. More timing can make them run hotter.

I often do that to better control how much I am advancing the saw through the cut when not levering on the spikes, but I also often realize I'm doing it and wrap my thumbs for the sake of increased safety.

The Stihl bar needs some modifications to fit and oil properly. Currently I'm running .050 3/8lp on mine. .043 is faster, but 1/4 is smoother. I don't know if .050 or .043 is fastest of the 1/4 pitch because the .050 teeth are huge, but may be more aggressive while the .043 teeth are almost too...

Some people will use their 193 as long as possible before finally going up a size. The 193 seems to handle abuse well, and stays cool at least in its stock form, and they have a huge empty pocket in the back where more cooling find could go if needed. The Stihls may have a more durable and...

In all seriousness, we are pretty much at the height of technology with how light weight and powerful saws can get (in stock form) while still complying with safety and emissions regulations. The problem with wanting to use modified top handle saws to replace bigger top handles is the risk of...
