Well, with the replacement carb, I do have a couple of butterflies laying about...
-
I wonder would tweaking the butterflies a bit help that...
-
That one is tucked away in the States for safe keeping
-
Haven't used the 268xp in a long while now:
-
The earlier versions of the 241 have terrible bog/lag issues. Mine does as well, even modified. I find I have to lay it on it's side to get rid of the bog, so it may be due to some type of pooling. Mebbe Spud can figger.
-
Assuming the 362 has good compression, they do well. This is with just an MM and conservative timing advance: [ame] [/ame] I haven't done an MTronic one yet, so couldn't tell you how they respond. But the 261cm becomes quite angry after just a muffler mod.
-
Send those Stihl's to Spud for a simple muff mod and timing, and they will become entirely different saws. I had to put some work into my 241 before I was happy with it. I am still considering modifying the compression and redoing the transfers.
-
Well, averaged 4-4.5 seconds less VS the 10 seconds with the Stihl bar. If I had found an Echo bar, times would have been truly mad then.
-
I'd rather have a Shindaiwa 452S. Far better limber, especially modified. The 241 has torque. I was freeing 2 foot DBH spruce blow downs today from their rootballs with it with hardly a complaint.
-
It's good ported, and I use my ported one nearly every day. It is a very well built quality bit of kit. But stock, it just is so far behind the 550, especially at it's price point, I don't think it is good value. The 550 is more responsive and far more powerful, and only weighs ~10 ounces more than the 241. [ame] [/ame]
-
I have a 241, and I just wanna say - get the 550.

Ah hell. Might as well put all my photos in one post then... Hrm.. wonder have I ever owned a saw above 50cc didn't have a wrap.. don't think so.
-
Wooo! Full wrap thread!
-
My 241 is basically doing duty as a 50cc ground saw. The bar started life as an 18" pixel 325. I wanted 325 over picco/LoPro for it's endurance since I am in dirty environments often enough and it keeps it's edge longer. Pixel, AKA narrow kerf, bars are as flimsy as picco bars, though. So we'll see how long she lasts. It is right at 70DL ~17" after I modified it to fit the 241. I still would rather have a ported 50cc saw, but since I got this saw in partial trade, I won't complain. She does rather well for her displacement, and is rather light, especially with an NK B&C. She's nearly twice as fast ported with a 325NK VS standard 325 set up. [ame] [/ame]
-
wow never seen that
-
I'm runnin a 17" NK 325 on my ported 241CM.
-
My 241CM did exactly the same thing. A new carb has fixed it... for now...
-
That is exactly why that Stihl is wearing that bar. It's an Husqvarna "pixel" bar with Carlton narrow kerf semi chisel chain. Not sure I needed to do it, but I got the B&C for xmas, so I just made it work. The bar is a bit flimsy feeling, so we'll see how she lasts. Here she is ported VS muff modded, semi chisel VS full chisel. 14" bar VS 17"(it ended up at 70DL on 325 after I modded it to fit). [ame] [/ame]
-
Cut it right down the middle and wedges, wedges, wedges!
-
And I had to hack that puppy up, too.
-
For all the Stihl fans:
-
Yeah, sorta sad. My 18" Husqvarna pixel bar was made in Canada, if that's any consolation. Well, it's closer to 17" since I sort of had to massage it to fit.
-
Unless I hit an 8' tree, I wouldn't need a third saw.
-
A ported 261cm and a ported 044 or 046. I currently run a ported 241cm and a ported 044.
