Stihl ms261

[Taupotreeman]

Replaced under warranty by our friendly local Stihl dealer. Apparently they rand Stihl who reckoned they'd never heard of the problem, here or in the UK. They still sorted it though so we've got the little rev and rip back on the Jon tomorrow.

I gad trouble after 6 weeks of getting it, fixed it at my own cost no trouble since, saying that it hardly ever goes out as its crap compared to a 346xp.

Running my ms261 on 3/8 now, good little saw, had no problems at all. Been working sweet as a nut every day in the woods since bought it in feb

Mine goes out on every job cracking little saw...

 

Read the disaster stories... changed from rim to spur sprocket when i got it.... done a hell of a lot of work! Mines a good saw

Can't fault mine either. Never had to touch it and cuts better than the 260 imo
