Jonsered 2051

[Bobcat Jerry]

I have a chance to buy a 2051 for $50 bucks. THe guy had it his garage. THsi thing looks like new. FIred right up soudned good. I have a 0221 Stihl now. Is this 2051 any good? Is it worth $50.00? I don't know much about chain saws. Just bought 5 acres of woods, need something a little heavier duty than the 021.

I'm new to this site. So appreciate any input

Thanks

Real good firewood saw.It will run circles around that 021.
$50 is a steal for a good running 2051.

Thanks for the input Scooterbum

ITs a done deal

Hey guys thanks for the input. I pick it up last night and tried it. Wow that has some RPM'S to it. WHen through a log like ti was butter. I have a 021 Stihl and this Jonsered seems to have more power and cuts better. Now thinking of selling the Stihl.

Pick it up!

The 2051 was the very first Jonsered with Air injection/Turbo (about 1987).

It is a hot rod 51cc saw, and was replaced by the larger displacement (and still hot) 2055 in the early 1990s.

The 2054 allways was the "lesser" saw in the "family", some laters ones further detued as well.


I sure would pick up that saw, given the opportunity......

keep the 021 for limbing and the small stuff, get a new chain for it, a real chain and not one of those lawyer chains they sell at blowes or home and disaster your 021 will cut like a new saw.

Not really detuned. I prefer the smaller displacement saw anyday. It cuts faster and has a better power curve in my opinion.

The 2051 is a high revving saw, I think it runs at 14,800 or something like that. Much higher than the 2050. The 2050 is a homeowner saw, while the 2051 would be comparable to the 2153, only the 2051 is better.

The difference is huge in performance and build quality - pro vs. consumer.

Oil Mixture

I'm so glad I found this thread. Feel like in seventh Heaven. Being novis and knowing nothing about Chain saws, this is very helpful. So......... another question, the guy I bought this from said the oil mixture is very finnicky. If it isn't just right it will run poorly. Any input on this?

too little oil, distroy the engine.....tooo much foul plug
i run 50 to 1 in all my saws

 

[PB]

I think the owner's manual would call for 50:1. I can't be positive, but most do.

Not really - but as it is a hot-rodded saw, make sure you use premium gas and a good fully synthetic oil - no dubious dino oil.

Fifty to one sounds good.

Oil Mixture

Hey guys thanks again. Troll......Do you recommend Premium in the Stihl also?
I'm so amazied with the amount of knowledge on this site. I am a couple of sites and all they do is argue over which best. This sight actually answers questions. I'm in awe:jawdrop:
