MS250 and a thanks to the community

[Alphadelta]

Finally really got to test the MS250 today. After getting it running with help from everyone we had a windstorm basically destroy several cities. Decided the tree that lived needed some work.

This saw ran HARD for 4 hours and never skipped a beat. It’s my first Stihl and I’m beyond impressed.

So thanks everyone. And hope everyone had a easier weekend than mine.

Great little saws, my first Stihl as well.

Now that you have the bug, just wait till you try a 261.

I started with a stihl ms180c after seeing how many cheap junk saws my old man had. Now I’m shopping for an ms462.

@Alphadelta What's the back story on getting the MS250 running?

Got it used from a guy (I overpaid). Good condition but wouldn’t run hardly at all.

Cylinder looked fine, dumped the fuel, new filters, spark plug. Still no dice.

Decided to just dismantle the carb and place it through an ultrasonic cleaner and then reassemble.

Started but hated doing anything besides idling for a second then dying.

Finally got a tach that goes onto the spark plug wire, someone sent me the service manual and after readjusting the carburetor. This thing starts second pull and hums along nicely until you turn it back off.

Congrats. The MS250 is a great saw. Stong, easy to work on and parts are affordable.
