MS261 M-Tronic Build

Oooooh. Actually, I have the speedcut bar and the husqvarna sp33g chain which is similar to the oregon one. Either way the narrow kerf results in really quick cuts.

The clutch springs I fitted seem to of stiffened it up a bit, not as much flex when trying to spread the shoes by hand. Also a little wear as spotted by@htb in an earlier post. Here’s the old springs

Not as badly worn as I first thought from your previous pics, glad they have stiffened up the clutch, surprising how a little wear makes a big difference.

@htb I never noticed the wear, but the slop in springs I did. Just gave me another reason to renew them to be honest.

 little tip, hold the clutch up against a light and see if you can see light between the coils, if not, change them. If the spring is under tension, you will be able to see light between the spring coils, if it is worn and relaxed, the spring coils will have closed up. Also look at the hooks, after a while they will wear significantly before breaking - mostly found on MS200Ts of an age!

I did have a 441 in recently and the springs looked perfect, unworn but were slack and reckon they were aftermarket so stay OEM on these parts!
