New Stihl 261 C-M!

[ernurse]

I don't think so. I know the contours are a little different between the 260 and 261, but they both use the same double dawg kit from a 341. The inside of the new covers have some nice curves to help with chip ejection. I've not tried it, but I'll bet the 441 R cover will fit on the 261.

It does fit....My 441 will be back today from mastermind and Ill put the big clutch cover on it and take a pic.

Sorry. I couldn't wait because it's raining here. My saws aren't even muffler modded, let alone master mined. It looks like you could run the MS 441 R C-M dawgs on the MS 261 C-M VW if you wanted to. The have the same spacing on the mounts.

Enjoy!

Do you have a PN for the dual spike kit and roller that is on the 261 in the first pic? Not the big spikes like on the 441.

I don't even have big dawgs on my 372 they take up usable bar space and my 346's and 562 don't even have them.

I plan on just running the small double dawg set with the chain catcher

I'm gonna be breaking her in after gun deer season, until then i'm gonna try to stay quiet.....but am very impressed so far

 

[MasterMech]

Having run mine a bit now, I get more impressed every time it comes out. Going into the woods with a 261C-M and a 441C-M to match sure is fun!

Ran mine for a couple of tanks yesterday at 18°F, buried to the dawgs. I don't know what it was, but I swear I was having more fun than I'd have had with a MS 441 R C-M!

 

[XSKIER]

Yeah, I haven't been able to put a lot of time in with the saw yet but she has run great with what I've cut so far. I can't wait to spend a few days really working it out. Right now I am running Motomix in it, easier to find than ethanol free around here and since we have a number of saws it didn't seem like a bad investment.


Got a 6 pack of Motomix, same idea though.

Has anyone else ran their MS 261 C-M again this year? I did today, but no pics so it didn't really happen. Here's one from last week:

Been running mine to cut up firewood and clear a few smaller trees. I've had zero issues and it runs great.

Did the clutch cover come with the chip deflector or did you add that on?

Ran mine last weekend (along with my 150 TCE) to take down a 28" diameter fir in the front yard. Put 3 tanks of motomix through it and it's still getting stronger! Switching to a semi-chisel chain (20") bar made bucking the spur a real treat. Love seeing the saw dust fly

The chip deflector comes standard on the MS 441 R C-M.

But will that cover fit a MS260 to install the double dawg kit ?
