I'm expecting a 9 pound 38-39cc saw with 2.7-2.8 horsepower.

Yes a guy did but I dont know if that is true at all. He saw it on another forum we know nothing of this.
It's already happened. A few lighter screws, a slightly different shaped dawg, and something else about the location of the electronic thing that controls the carb. There's a thread on it somewhere here.
Well I cant make sense of why yet? And it could be worse knowing the EPA ruins lots of saws. I cant imagine an improvement. But who is saying this Stihl ?
@blsnelling did you hear about a new 241 coming out to replace the one out now?
The easiest way to tell is the shape of the dawg. The older one is flat, newer one has a slight recess all the way around the edge.
Im surprised it's being discontinued. If they were $100 less than the 261, they would probably sale better. There's still a few in stock around here (as of a week and a half ago) but I would rather have a new regular carb 261 while they're still available.
Im confused? What do you mean easiest way to tell is the dog are two models out in the hands of people now?
I'm trying to find the thread now lol.
Thanks.
Interesting I wonder how many I have of each type here? Also I wonder if it makes much difference running?

Ah man....what a letdown.
Thought we were on the verge of some kind of groundbreaking development.

Mine appear to be all newer versions, plug on rt of carb.
Like I said I cant imagine improving very much on it.
Have you ran one yet they are fine the way they are.

No, I'm sure they are great. And I'm a little jealous that all yall are getting shiny brand new toys.
But I got a heavy, clunky, old German 421 that other than being a pound too heavy probably runs pretty close to the same, and a few too many little 33 to 38cc shelf queens, as well as an extra 50cc saw in a 491s. All of which need to go down the road before I can convince myself to get a new 40cc saw.
I had initially thought I would miss the boat on what's left of the new 241's. And then was a bit excited that maybe, just maybe, I'd rid myself of all the excess in time for the new cutting edge offering and would be first in line at the next 15% off open house.
I guess I'll still move out those extra saws and stick with the awkwardness of switching between 35 and 50cc when needed for now.
Naw, sell some old ones you don't use and buy a nice new one! Thank me later.
I might put my 201T on the block soon. I never really use it and its still shiny.

I still enjoy running my new 8 pound 361P as my main saw, and then grabbing a bigger saw when I have to. Amazing how much can be done with that little saw.
Probably still sell off all the old small saws, and one 50cc saw, but hold off getting the latest and greatest 42cc saw until I have the opportunity to switch from mostly maintenance to mostly firewood. Then the 25-42-71cc would be a viable 3-saw plan.
Non Mtronic if its clean I may know of a guy.
