Guys like Jeephead and you are bad influences on me. Now I am thinking about buying 3 more to donate to my favorite High School Tech Ed Open houses for raffle prizes. I may have to seek out some sort of 12 step program!
You have TDS* and there is NO cure for it, don't waste you time with the 12 step program.

Well with the new JonCutter in the mix I now have 3 brands of the 2511 with V-Modest and KNK Power. The KNK is a little different than the other two and nice saw. It was the first one I carried. But I need the room so I’m dropping it. I think I have 9 left and I’m going to blow them out at $70 a piece. No prep, no NGK spark plug and no testing. They shipped with the bar and chain installed which made the box very bulky so I dismounted them and modified the boxes. In other words, I have looked at each one and verified they are complete and nothing broken. The $70 includes shipping and starting Friday there won’t be any sales tax for anyone in Ohio. Here is a link to a post I put up about them last year:

And here is a video I did comparing them to the V-Modest:

And a video of cutting with one:

I’m putting this here first so you guys get a crack at these before anyone else.

Gangs all in hand now. To test on oem and clone 2511’s.

PSS V2 cnc muffler has 33% bigger exhaust outlet.

It's too bad a proper two stroke expansion chamber exhaust is so bulky.

Those things can really make an engine come alive. BTDT racing motorbikes "when I was a young man".

Got the new oil pump installed and the saw reassembled.

Seems a bit snappier than with the OEM can.

I have the oiler set as low as she will go, and there is no way it will starve the bar for oil 😅

Went out and cut down, cut up, three smaller trees.

Snappy little motor. The 3/8LP is a bit grabby, I may address that later.

Runs great, starts super easy, oil reservoir lasts as long as a tank of fuel, not any longer... That is set to minimum
