Tore down and cleaned up 61 yesterday morning.

I expect the closed 50mm Gil2 50mm 670 champ to just walk away from the 61 open 48mm K&S. But will be fun testing anyways.
Owned all the 266's 268xp 268 272 66. Just never a 61 as wasnt a saw I wanted. But this 86 one was to nice. So going to find out.

Went how I figured. Both stock. 670 has gill muffler mod both sides. 61 muffler has a inner baffle and notta done.
I don’t want to cut on 61 muffler being I am going to sell it.
6.5's J to mid 8's H.

They all would get the job done. Not a race cutting firewood.


12x13 round used, one on top

Wanted to see what the cylinder looked like under the dark stale mix coating inside cylinder. Nice bore under there.

Poulan 365 60cc cylinder before and after cleaning.

Didn’t even need my first 2 steps. Just did the 3rd one with fresh crosshatch.

Fired boat up last week first try. Been seating all winter in plastic tank and vent open. No worries of moisture drawn in like E-gas BS.
I always use K100 at end of season and have seen the results with carb with that too.

Purred like a kitten around the lake never missing a beat.

What all my OPE gets too. Gen when stored also.

Not readily available around here and where it is, it's extremely over priced to the point where 'canned gas' is actually viable. Tru-Fuel now markets canned gas with no oil added. My issue with pump Rec gas is simply, whatever is remaining in the hose and pump from the last customer could be 'corn squeezed' if the previous customer filled up with corn gas and then you get the remainder of it when you select the 'Rec' fuel option. Now if it was a dedicated Rec pump, that would be a non issue.

I thought it was normal for a person to put a few gallons in the truck before filling up the jug with non E fuel to purge the lines.

I mean, that is the common sense thing to do...

I only know of one non-ethanol serving station in my area. It is a separate pump. I know of several in Oklahoma. They had separate pumps as well, but their's also had several octane choices. Ours only has one.

Yep both my stations has it's own pump hose for the E-free gas.


If not you pump a gal or so in truck before you do. Just common dang sense.

Like I have shown simple few min test to make sure Efree is always efree. ;)

More common sense. ;)

Gee wiz look how easy. Less then a min.

I forgot they added a 3rd station south of me now for Efree. Never been to that one at a Sheetz gas station.
Mine are both Marathon.

FYI, this site lists 2 stations. 90 and 91 octane, if accurate, you got the good stuff.

The first one is the one I was talking about. I've been going to that local chain since I was born for groceries with my mom. The cashiers used to give me one of those suckers with the loop sticks. Grape! 😛

The second one is in the next town over.

Doesn't matter to me, though. I've never used ethanol-free fuel. I've been running E10 87 octane in everything I own since the 80s and never ever had a fuel related problem, water in gas, degraded components, etc. The only piece of equipment I own that gets fuel treatment is the generator. I follow the equipment manufacturers' recommended procedures and practices. I rotate my three 6-gallon storage cans and if, for some reason (like the last 2 winters lack of snow) I don't use it in several months, I'll dump it in the Suburban and get it refilled the next time I go to the station.

I now own a Stihl clone saw that needs higher octane fuel, so that one has a separate can, but still, E10.

I don't rotate my 2-stroke mixed fuel. Never had an issue with it even a year or more down the road.

I just don't understand why so many people has so many problems with E10. :unsure:

We have no real E0 places in this part of the state or the next state over, unless you want to fight your way into an airport.
For my 620p I use canned gas. For everything else E10 high test with Stabil.

Thin to win right.
😂

Last cut surprised myself I didn’t cut out.

Even opened center baffle and opened the closed exit they did on these. Like they were purposely killing the flow out. 2 small holes at bottom of baffle to go through. I did just enough as I like them to look stock still.

Not with a 61 you won’t. Runs like a open port 60-62cc saw.

Surprised they were doing that crap even in 86.

64cc poulan 4000.

Guess I didnt post it here. This was with a regular chain I sharpened that was a chain I pull from stuff coming in that I wont use for regular cutting. I call them my crap chains for root cutting. 70dl set up.

Ended up ordering a stihl carbide chain from friend and breaking it down to drive link I needed.

Man I am impressed with carbide chain for dry dirt encrusted root ball stuffs.

74dl broke down to 72dl.

Showing how far regular chain got before begging to be sharpened.
