stihl ms 261, starting to annoy me

A spur on a pro 50cc saw - doesn't sound promising

 

ditto

 

Since when has a spur been an upgrade? No, rim everytime. My 036 was serviced years back and they put a spur clutch drum on - makes a whizzing sound and is less smooth.

just given up with mine, its had 3 clutches and a full internal rebuild, just got a 560 cracking saw my only worry is i gotta see how waterproof the auto tune is when i drop it in a dyke at work

 

I was thinking the same mate been looking at the 560

You won't be disappointed

 

Though if it's to replace the 261 then the 550 will still be an improvemnt I'd have thought.

you maybe right yet, if only i could get a refund for the 261 i would almost certainly try the 550 or 560xp.
