Ive used a 560 awhile back,seemed like a pretty good saw although i only ran a tank or so through it.Never used a 550 though.

Tis a joy to behold when you find a saw thats just clicks with you...

I had that with the 346xp...just makes me smile.

To each his own and all that..

I think I’m going to go for the Stihl MS241C-M.

 

What would you guys say runs best on MS241 14inch or 16 inch bar?

 

Thanks

14 inch bar on that is superb but it would pull a 16.

Id opt for a 14 if it were me

Thanks Stihlmadasever, I’ll go for 14 inch 

[thetoolnut]

Thanks Stihlmadasever, I’ll go for 14 inch 

15" suits it best imo.

Hi . 

I bought used 241cm.

 

I started it and ran it for a minute or so and then I let it idle. After idling for 30 seconds it stalled.

 

Now I can’t get it restarted.

 

Anyone had this problem or know anything about it?

 

Cheers

Sounds like exhaust off time.

 

Do you have a spark and fuel getting through to cylinder

[Shepp]

Yes got fuel and spark.

Thought it was flooded but removed spark plug and was fine.

 

Got it started but as soon as I put throttle on it stalled.

 

Im running it on Aspen 2

I have similar with a 261 and find that if you are not careful, they are easy to flood. When you start them warm, you are often better not to start it on full choke but leave it on the normal running position.

Go through the normal anti flooding procedure - plug out, upside down, pull it over hard for 10 pulls. let it dry overnight, stick the plug back and try to start again. Only do the choke for 5 pulls and if it doesn't pop, hold the throttle open and pull the saw over hard with the throttle held full open and the decomp out - redneck style!

If it is still bad then it is possible the AT unit is cocked or the piston is a bit iffy!
