had it out for labor day.. not sure what bug was up its butt last time - but a lil seafoam sitting in it over night and it was more then up to the task of 8 inch oak/maple.

Ran it at the farm but the carb was not feeling friendly.. and was bogging in 6-8 inches of wood. Need to clean it out and well see how it runs.

Bought a used ms261cmq for $150. $100...in parts later(and a quick muffler mod) ... i have a nasty pro saw for $250

Ran it in some silver maple today. Up to about 10 inches - it ran fine, even when pushed. This is with a semi chisel, RM chain. Over about 10 inches, it would cut, just needed to not push the saw to hard. I think if i gill the muffler, and give it an 1/8th turn past the the high stop it...

my ms211 loves the 325 over the lowpro - thanks Harley.

ms261cmq - almost 2 years. Muffler mod and it runs like A BEAST.

Results are in. Can 100% confirm that MS250 parts slap right in! Switched everything over and fired it up. Was just cutting some maple - nothing crazy hard. Was about 8 inch in diameter. First few cuts with the new stuff seemed.. "ok" at best... was a bit shocked at how lack luster it was...

Parts are on order - I borrowed them off a friends saw just to confirm fitting. It will be a 7tooth drum, 325 yellow chain and 16 inch bar. I have no doubt in its ability to pull a 16in bar unless i drop it in an oak log..

Just wanted to follow up and confirm - ms250 parts swap right on. I now have an ms211 with a 16 inch bar and a 325 chain.

If it's just swapping bar, chain, drum... I'm going to try that first..

MS250 and MS211 are compatible with swapping sprockets/bars? My buddy has a junk ms250 that I think I can scavenge parts from if thats the case

I did some searching and it seems everyone goes the other way from 325 to picco (ms261 Stihl Performance kit).. but is there any way to go from picco on my 211 to 325? I asked my local Stihl dealer and he tried to help, but said that he didnt want to give me false information. He believes its...
