261/261c

[Heavy Oil Saw]

@lofty123 These were second hand parts, they’ve all been parts washed, vigorously, hence the clean looking appearance.

Not sure if your suffering the same as I did with my 261cm. Is it the mtronic version. I hade almost exactly the same issues, turned out to be a coil. Have fun there quite nice saws when running well.

@lofty123 I think there is an improved solenoid, which is white I believe. The black ones weren’t all that good apparently. I found part no on another forum.
Did you get a cheap carb in the end? Found any other gremlins. My build has stalled while I save funds for a case splitter, think I may get both?

Do you know the number on the old or new coil? 4701a or 4702a maybe?

The carb got delivered yesterday going to do a leak down test while they're stripped. Has anyone tried taking the mtronic system out? Ive got carbs and ims to replace it with

Last time i split a case i used a heat gun and hammer worked well enough but if you find one at a sensible price could you tag a link always like to have interesting lumps of metal in the shed

Not sure how your coil will act if mtronic or even work, and there’ll be a start position missing, probably warm start. The wiring harness will be different. Could be modified.

If you’ve got a carb 261 you’ll have the parts.

I have the Huztl one for some husqvarna saws which I think works on a number of other saws too.

I’m tempted to get the screw type, for assembly as well. My problem is it robust enough, are the threads decently cut, are the adapters stamped with part no?
I keep looking at the Stihl one, but the price is high, but your getting a quality tool and able to return if it breaks, and part no stamped on adapters.
