Well I have some more time on the 261. Is it the strongest 50cc out there? No, not where I live.

Some people miss the fact that no saw works the same at all geographic locations world wide. What is the strongest, fastest, quickest, etc in Ohio may not be in NS. That EHP 5000 Kevin has was built for here, and it works great here. It is still good at Kevins but not like it would run here.

What do I prefer in a 50cc saw? All the rpm I can get. The 261 fits that nicely.

If your style is dog it in and push, a 5100 Dolmar would be a better choice here. With light pressure and rpms the 261 would be quicker than a 5100 in a cut here. Am I happy with the 261? You bet. 242 on steroids.  ;D
