    Introducing the Stihl BR800C

    I was just searching Facebook and craigslist for a few weeks for a blower . Got up to use the bathroom about 1:30am and saw it was posted 10 mins ago, so I messaged them up and said I wanted it and would be there in the morning . I got a 1yo ms261 for $150 the same way . Some people don’t know...

    Stihl MS211 - Huge List of Issues!

    I’ve bought cheap carbs on eBay before . They are pretty hit or miss . Some are set up pretty good and others you can’t adjust enough to get it right . With that said have you adjusted the carb at all ? Could just need some simple adjustments Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Br600 won’t open up and skips

    I got a br600 that’s thrown me for a loop . Was using it one day and it started bogging out and running terrible . Runs almost like it’s only firing every other time . Idles great (little high) but when you pull the trigger it revs up a little and starts shaking and missing . Went to the dealer...

    Anyone making aftermarket parts For Stihl MS261?

    I don’t know of any aftermarket place that sells after market parts other than real basic stuff like a carb or clutch . I got a 261 in a box in the basement that I had been saving for spare parts but would considering selling for the right price Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why I love a 50cc saw.

    The 261 is hard to beat . I found myself using a 261 to cut and limb and the 440 stays in the shop until it’s time to cut everything 48” in the yard . 261 might be a little slower getting threw the bigger stuff but it does do it and the lighter weight at the end of the day is a savior Sent...

    32:1 mix for our older saws

    I don’t have a older saw so I can’t say to be sure but I wouldn’t hesitate to use the the stihl 50:1 stuff In the gray bottle . Mixing oil is far superior than it use to be back then . Amsoil claims you can run their mixing oil 100:1 in anything and it will be fine Sent from my iPhone using...

    MS261cm bar question

    It was pretty rewarding when I finally got the hang of round filing but was also rather frustrating at first . I’m not sure I got the patience to go threw trying to learn a new sharpening process Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MS261cm bar question

    I’ll have to agree with your also haha I actually wasn’t very impressed with the .325 pitch on this saw . Even after I filled the gullet of the chain out and took the rakers down a little more than the gauge recommended you would have to “force” it to cut good . Now it bites itself in and goes...
