I not really surprised, because the usual type of know nothing full of bs assholes rise to the surface on every forum. But obviously the forum is not for a serious enquiry, it's more for the lads in "PPE supplied" lawnmower, strimmer and hedge clippers job to strut their stuff and flex their ignorance, scrolling and posing while waiting to be told to move the traffic cone and let the old lady pass now bud.

Hearing that from somebody with a handle like yours says enough....APE

Yes, your stuff stays perfect for even, never experience wear and tear, what a guy, soo good u can spend all your time talking bs in here. Gobshite

Thank you, I think I am getting a good deal off them , an OEM piston for the 44.7mm Cylinder which has polished up nicely (I stopped the saw reasonably soon, cylinder lightly scored) , and a 170 euro credit against a new ms261 in early 2024. No questions asked or liabilities admitted, done on a handshake 🤝 👍

Oh rite..... I begged and I pleaded with people?? , I hope your saw skills are better than your comprehension. And again, you make a comment that's nothing to do with the subject..... geeze there are a few saddos on here.

I didn't ask anybody about warranty or question the warranty on here, that's the point you are missing. Anyway, another day for the results.

Anyway.... The Manufacturer, in the country where the Serial number begins with 1 , has replied to my email and they have emphatically stated that an MS291 would NOT leave the assembly line with a 44.7mm Cylinder in it. No way, no how. A simple straight answer without the need for a Serial Number, without the need for me to plead , to beg or to write chapter and verse of why I would ask such a simple (but important) question. Had I known that they would answer me, obviously I would not have bothered the professionals (the decent replies) on here..... or the shrub clippers whose knowledge simply can't match their mouth But there's a visit to the dealer yet.... soo I hope everybody will be overjoyed to know that I will come back here and let ye know how it goes.... I'll probably tell ye what prompted me to open the saw.... oh the suspense!!!

But of course you are missing the point of my op, I came on to ask a question!! NOT to be interrogated by the "barking" squad, the boys with all the answers but won't give the answer until they get chapter and verse , or the gardeners with ropes and long poles. We do ok in the farming yes!! and my small engine rebuilds work out fine. And I have got the answer to my question elsewhere.

"I'll buy that one if ye put it together for me" , that was my deal maker as in get one out of stock, put it together and I'll pick it up on my way home from my day job, which happens to be about 1000metres from the dealer premises. I actually regret not buying a 261 instead but that's more a regret after reading more about the Stihl range. We will probably buy one anyway in 2024. Re my op , I had simply asked a question off the forum, no more no less, I don't understand their need to go into tangents etc when the question was so simply, either yes they had seen something like that before or No they had not, perhaps that made me defensive, they KNOW why the saw was opened , so I was not going into a long story why or who or whataboutery..... I think only two people decided they were the forum police and that's the same on every forum on everything, they have given me a good laugh, a few hundred quid in farming these days won't make or break us (my sibling in Co) , there is a principle at stake, we have a trusty 250 and a husq'y , so I just wondered if anybody had a similar experience or heard of such... cheers

They have both Cylinders on their exploded views because for some strange reason people swap the ms271 and ms391 heads, I can understand somebody swapping down to improve the 271 but swapping up just seems like a cheap out for somebody in the sales or repair game. Thanks for the info. I do have an update to add as a last post on here.... for now!! .

I can rebuild any two or four stroke engine, overnight if necessary for the next day, most farmers I know can do it too. But when I discover a lesser engine under the hood..... am I to ignore it?? That's the only issue I raised in the OP, if people don't know the answer then what's the point replying. It's not storytime at bedtime.... I asked a genuine question. However I do have an update, which I will put at the end of the comments. I got the definitive answer to my question.

Thanks a lot for the info. It's the type 2 cylinder. Strange that they can do that and still claim the CC's are the same in the blurb they put out. Thanks again 👍

Hmmm.... you kinda rehashing now..

Oh don't worry, I'll return here with the details of the outcome, I know you will be bursting to know.... It's just killing you to know why the saw was examined and maybe if you had asked instead of making accusations, I would have told you. But it's far more satisfying knowing you are just a nosey not very knowledgeable forum jockey who in this case will not be tolerated.
