Thanks for the tip on the high output oiler. I've got the oil flow all the way open on my stock 461 and still run out of fuel first

Anybody add an amsoil additive to their bar oil? I've got an ms461 with 28" bar. The outer edge of the bar tip was flared out a little. My friend said insufficient oil but the flow was open all the way. I thought maybe I neglected to clear out the bar oiler hole. He said they don't clog, I...

Sounds like I should pass,, I've got a few newer saws already

oh wow

I was offered this 032 in trade. "Good running condition," "muffler is a little loose." 30 in bar with 2-3 "good" chains. Can you guys say about what it's worth?

I don't know how the guy missed it. It's ****. The very first trigger pull I felt it, I haven't' even started it yet.

Did they fix it for you?

Guys I got a new MS261. The trigger is atrocious. It's heavy and there's almost a click near the end of the travel. The triggers on my 250 and 461 are super smooth and consistent. Is this something I can fix or should I take it back?

I really don't know what we're talking. She said they burn 3-4 cords and they have some left over. She said they've got logs but the chainsaw is too dangerous for the girls. I assumed there is a log deck but who knows. I guessed I'd be bucking 1.5-3 cords of wood. I'm real green, I don't...

When you say my shop rate, do you mean the shop I would pay to fix something? I have a little shop in my garage... I wasn't sure what to write. I call the lady a friend cause she's nice to me and sells me milk. I can't do free work for all my "friends," where would I be? My...

It's a lady who wants to give a birthday gift to her husband. She's gonna insist on paying me and I don't feel bad about that anyway.

I do have to drive there and back.

$520 for four hours behind a saw? Wow. This is for a friend, I don't want to beat them over the head, I just want to make it fair.

Hey someone wants me to buck their firewood. I value my time about $20/hour. I'm wondering how much I should add for the use of my equipment (chainsaws, gas, oil, chains, chaps, etc).

Will a 20" bar from an MS461 work on a 261? Will an 18" bar from an MS250 work on a 261?

If I do get a shorter bar, I would rather just adjust the carb then get a new sprocket. I don't normally take such an interest in my power tools but this saw is exciting. I'm glad I found this site, you guys are great.

We didn't do a whole lot of talking. I asked one sales guy a few questions before he went out to lunch - I asked about large saws that didn't have the M-tronic system. He called a tech guy out. They didn't have a 362 but there was one 461 on the shelf. I knew it was discontinued and got a little...

Yah, if I was smart I would've signed up for this site a long time ago. I was really fooling with that saw for a while. I like doing mechanic work but my diagnosis skills are atrocious.

Ax-man I didn't word my post properly. It was his chainsaw that he put veggie oil in then he gave it to me as a gift. I watched a donyboy73 video on oil pump replacement and that's something I would like to do myself. Do guys buy parts at the Stihl dealer or online?

I thought hardhats were only for wood falling from above. I was reading the manual last night and I see how the brim could help protect my forehead from a kickback.
