Inside the MS241C

[Chris-PA]

Looking at the pictures further, it looks like it does not have a separate air valve, rather there must be a divider inside the carb to split the air flow paths? The fuel is only in the lower path, while the upper path is just air?

If so, then the thing I see that is different functionally is that both paths open at the same time and open regressively (as there is only one throttle plate). That would be different from other strato engines I have seen where the air valve opens quickly above idle.

There is a baffle through the center of the carb. It's divided through the intake manifold. This is the same exact design of the 261.

Thanks - I am unlikely to ever see either one in person, so I gotta figure out what I can from pictures.

Good looking work. What kinda gains you seeing now that the strato design has been around a few years? Havnt been doing much with saws the last couple years until couple weeks ago. That rebuild/mild port got me feeling the itch again... lol.

I'd like to see a stock 241 compared to a stock rear handle ms200. They's a couple pounds difference, about 7cc, and very close to the same power....on paper anyways.

Good point.

Do they make a rear handle 201?

Yes they do.

I modded one not too long ago.

My first GTG was at that mod's place

I remember that one. Used a 4 wheeler for the log stand. You dropped a fresh poplar to use and hmmmmmmm what happened to those jeans.

You guys didnt know TT was running alky saws back then.

Good to see you around! I've never found strato saws to not mod well. With that said, they don't tend to have quite as much as a non-strato saw.

Shhhh!!!!!! You're memory is a little too good His "work saws" were on alky? Say it's not so, lol.

Not the work saws the gtg timed cut saws were.

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Brad that gtg. The alky saws were borrowed. TT and one of my fav pics from that gtg.

 

[blsnelling]

I wouldn't have known the difference back then. I was in awe with his Ken Dunn piped 880! That was a thing of beauty.

 

[blsnelling]

What about this one

Brads says I should sell the 024 and get a 241.

You may see one

What about this one

That was on pump gas till 09-10. It was race ported copy of a MVP 5000 Marcel Vincent alky cylinder.

09-10 I could run nitrodyne through it for racing at events and turn the needles all the way in for gas if needed. Carb was MVP modded 272 carb.

 

[blsnelling]

I've had a bottle nitropropane here for several years but have never tried it. http://www.klotzlube.com/techsheet.asp?ID=85

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Nitrodyne has 8-9 ingredients used in race go karts and some hotsaws. About $30 a gallon the last 5 I had bought 2010.

 

[blsnelling]

Kevin, I can't find anything on the web about a fuel called Nitrodyne. Do you have a link?
