Stihl ms241 c-m

[normandylumberjack]

Im thinking about a stihl ms241 c-m and would like to hear about peoples experience with them.

I see there is only one bar nut, instead of two.... does this make any difference?

Also does it have a primer bulb like the newer 346xp? as i dont like this feature.

its actualy a good idea,,, eliminates the number of pulls to get it to fire

On paper it looks really good, lowest vibes, nice and light etc.

 

I've considered one, but bought a 346xpg (with primer bulb, which i'd not have cosen but does come in handy, esp when you've run the tank dry, it'll start first pull after re-fuelling. And if you want, it's very easy to take off.) As there were no reviews on the 241 then (spring).

 

Last week I needed another small saw again and again, I considered it again but again, nobody seems to have any experience of them and as the 346 is so much better than the equivalent stihl (imo) I went and got a 550xp. It also comes with an electrically controlled carb system, but I figured husky had got it sooo right with the 560 (after initial niggles got sorted) it would be ok, and it's pretty awesome!

 

Have stihl got any other saws selling well with an electrically controlled carb, similar or same as the 241? perhaps you could look into reviews for that then?

 

Or...

get one and review it for the rest of us!

I was anti primer bulb to start with , thought it might get punctured but it never has and I would not be without one now - for all the reasons above .

So, does anyone in this world own or use a 241?

This is the only review I've been able to find, after a fair few pages of googling. The reviewer is raving about it though, and it does look very good on paper...

May well have to wait until the wife is on holiday and get me one to have a go with:sneaky2:

Tapped the model number into Youtube, there are a few videos on there.

Australian guy on there recons its better than the 261.

isnt it just a smaller 261? in which case would it have the same problems as the 261?

The appropriate answer would have been: "no Rover, I don't have one, nor have I used one":001_tt2:

But no, it's an entirely different beastie I believe, it comes with "m-tronic engine management", stihl's version of "autotune":001_smile:
