WOW, the 271 sounds really good, I wish I could send you mine. But even in stock form, I'm always impressed with it's performance. All the best to you and yours.

Hey there Mr Hopper! I like the disclaimer you opened with and I love the fact that you are willing to provide your custom services for the customer simply because they asked. I repaired a plastic bodied Eager Beaver on video... In came the comments! “Waste of time”, “They should get a 395xp and not mess around with that junk”! It belonged to a little 70 year old man who used it annually to trim a couple apple trees. Yeah, he really needed a big Husky!🤪 Bless’ns to ya, Tedd

Hello Hopper. It would be nice to see some cookie cutting before and after modifications to see the difference. Great work!

Man it looks good outside there now. Them guys did a bunch of work. Thank for helping hopper boys. .!!! That saw sounds nice. !!

Looking good Mr Hopper. Always thinking of you and your family. Blessings brother 🙏

I’d take any saw you been tinkerin’ with. I got one of those saws, not horrible, of course not a monster like everyone loves.

God Bless and Protect you and your loving family Bellhopper:)

Off topic but had a little dental office trauma flashbacks with that airflow mod, lol

I’d love to see more of this for 251, 271, and 291 saws.

Wanted to say thank you as I just did a 271 out of the scrap pile based primarily on your videos. Been wanting to try some porting after 2 years of research, nor did I want to play with timing as Im simply not there yet. But I opened things up did a muffler mod went through the carb, new bearings, and pop-up pistons. runs well. Thank you

Thank you Hopper. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓

Lil 271 gonna be a fun runner.

Omg you should see prices now supply chain gouging or inflation or whatever it is. Shops in Oregon haven’t had any product for months and now they have product and nobody’s gonna buy it because it’s too expensive

One thing I will say about the MS271. Good luck getting an aftermarket cylinder for one. They just don't exist. If you need a cylinder you will end up coughing up the $$ for an OEM cylinder unless you can find something used.

porting sounds good. prob quicker than stock 261 now

Hello hopper

Hey fella

I’m betting you can wake it up! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

I just picked up a ms271 haven't got to use it yet I'm hoping to before long

What size nuts are those intake bolts? I cant seem to find a socket to fit 8mm seems right but wont fit in the holes. I think stihl has a special tool?

Hey Hopper is it raining there yet?

Just curious what something like this would cost on that ms271?

How much more CC's did you pull out of it?

That sounds mustard pal

So did you pug up the original muffler outlet or did you leave it open . I've got a 271 but all I did was open up the original outlet on the muffler bigger which was a pain . I'm not real happy with it doesn't seem to be very pepe and the 271 I have is better than that one cause it has Farm Boss on it 😂🤣 but I noticed it does have farm boss on the bar . I need to do that intake mod and probably drill hole in muffler and do it . What size conduit did you use for that little piece of pipe. I've got 1/2 , 3/4 , and 1 inch but I haven't never used the 1 inch on anything .

recent dealings with Stihl tech support indicates they don't want people to have a quality product at high cost either. On example; I am looking at the serial number and label, that say made in the USA, and reading the message from tech support telling me that the ms362 cm was only made in Germany. I don't know where Stihl gets these people, but the parts reference numbers he gave me were a mess also. I am DONE with Stihl.

You mentioned that you soldered the pipe into the muffler- pardon the stupid question but doesn't the solder melt at exhaust temperatures?

Most guys won't do clamshell saws.i see u do. Can u do a ms390& how much is the cost.

Did I miss/skip over where he said the power gains?

Whats it cost to have this done? Thanks

What type of tubing do you use in the ported muffler, and what soldering method?

Bout how much would that cost a man to have that done. I've got a 271 an would like to get all that dine to it..

Can you do the muffler mod without porting the cylinder and will it help the power?

Sorry port

Would you pott one for me

this guy needs to adjust his camera . He blocks the work he's doing. Not really that informative.

What’s the coil gap on a 271?

Running junk.goober.
