Crunched MS261C

[tyyota]

My friends saw took a direct hit. It is almost new, less than a dozen hours. It definitely needs a top cover, clutch cover, handle bar, brake hand guard. It lost three fins from the cylinder. Silly question but would you dare run it as is?

Sure

Those fins won't make it or break it. Run that sucker............

Pressure and vacuum test to make sure it has not been compromised.

Man those must be some hard hours!! Mine has at least 40 hours of solid cut time now and it still looks brand new. But it gets every nook and cranny cleaned after each use..

Will do.

Blow off valve might be damaged... (Yes, I know that's not what it's called.)

That sucks by the way to happen to a new saw... There must be a colorful story to go along with this. Like rubbernecking a accident, want to hear and see more.....

If it's costal pine he was cutting, it's not hard for a saw to very quickly look like that.

That 241C from Greece looks clean enough to eat off of!

Bought 6 years ago and more than 40 tanks through it cutting pine

The top end looks good and if the case, crank are good then the saw is worth fixing. THose newer saws with a 1 at the end Stihl sure are proud of their parts as there is very little used or AM parts available yet.
If it was a 260 it would not cost much to fix. Most say they like a 461 over a 460, as they have not tried to buy parts for a 461 yet..as I will take a 460 anyday with everything equal. Just look at selling prices on Eaby what a good 460 will bring...
