it would fit right in against all those other "stock" saws that I race against and I still  come in fifth place  ;D ;D
Still on the fence,  autopsy on my 5100 don't look good for a cheap rebuild, Eds still trying to find parts, he's optimistic, I'm not..

The question would be, do I get the second 261 he's ever done, or stick with a NE 346 which he's had over 30 on the OR table,besides he's still not completely convinced  the 261 is really that much faster when all is said and done.
He needs to have them side by side which he doesn't.
My bar and chain fit a Husky or I could rework some bars (PITA)or maybe get another 5100 which has an outboard clutch..which I like

Unless a miracle happens I'll be 3 cu -less at the race.
