the 261 runs .325 chain so you can get a little bit more out of it due to the narrower kerf, the 261 being a pro saw also means if you ever have to replace the cylinder you dont have to split the crankcase.

Yeah west gippsland, quite nice and infact all the forested area north of the highway is great country, from beenak through to thompson dam especially jindi, neerim, crossover and hillend areas. fortunately this year we have been spared the fires and its really been a damn good summer condition...

waiting for the episode where they grind that stump without hitting the telecom services coming from the pit 10 meters further down the path. :popcorn2:

had one of your kind round to take the tops out of a few gums, 2 points,- 1- I know my limitations, 2-he did a darn good job. now i have an entrance to our property without having to use the neighbours gate.

the slight slop wasnt an issue with the replacement one i got either, just unclipped the circlip, took the older style cable anchor out and threaded the 2 bent bit through the hole. was ready to throw it of a bridge with the OEM carb, the cheap chinese one runs like a dream, go figure????

stoopid that they come with a 13/19mm torx t-wrench, i got a 16/19mm flat t-wrench for my wifes. never need the torx in the field.

anyone know where to get replacment rectangular file for the rakers for the cs-x? in australia and all US vendors either wont ship or want 4 times the cost of the file to ship!!

Benne that 201t looks bigger than the 200t. Is it the case or just parra lex error in the pic.

There is so much room for improvements in the ute/medium wagon T/D 4x4 area. If Mitsubishi did a challenger on rails with a 3.2 for roughly 50k they would walk off the shelves but unlikely to ever happen because it would pillage Pajero sales. Same with a pathfinder with the 6T/D but just like...

weather crap again, glad i got the pailing fence between us and the neighbours rebuild before today, even if i still have to buzz the tops and put some capping on :-( oh well next days off i suppose.

Mate, I have worked with electrical components for over 20 years so nothing surprises me with regard to electrical failure. A bloke I work with had the coil on his 441 m-tronic die on his second outing. He was pretty pissed. He sourced his locally and the dealer initially tried charging him for...

The original had the clear epoxy however the one I replaced it with that failed yesterday had the black epoxy. Exactly the same symptoms. Given the saw was sent over from the U.S. And is warranted by myself I just binned the original. The second is in the garage still. It came from the U.S. As...

The wiring comes with the coil.

No. Not on either of them. And the sessions I used them on before they died were pretty light.

I reckon it's strange as well. Both scenarios shut saw down fine from previous use day before and next day dead as a dodo!

just killed the 2nd OEM coil on my ms261 :-( gotta say the stihl coils must definately have an issue, either that or iam the unluckiest stihl user around. fortinately i had a chinese copy in the gear bag to get me out of trouble, thinking i will stick with the 20 buck specials for now.

Ezgo are another local ripoff merchant. Spares for their golf carts through the au website are 2 to 3 times the cost of the U.S. Site.

just as a heads up I did end up getting an aftermarket ms361 coil and it worked no problem with the 261. only issue the kill cable didnt quite reach the 90 degree angled spade connector as the OEM has a 45 degree spade so I needed to make up a little extension tail with a 4.8mm quick connect...

You should have a waldrobe full of shirts after all the experimenting uou have done with chinese stihls :p

iam thinking the aftermarket one will likely not have a rev limiter? i would be happy with 13k, just you can get a knock off 361 coild ofr about 20 bucks, a mate sent me an OEM replacement from the US for $50, where as locally they are $145!!! thinking i wouldnt mind having a spare in the kit...
