    Muffler mods

    I've read a few different comments on muffler mods for the ms 261 cm and they came up with. 1. Cutting 3 Gills in the side of the. muffler. 2. Cut out baffle and open the exit port more. Which one would be the best to do?

    Did I buy the Wrong size file or is Google Wrong?

    Another off topic question so I don't have to fill this site with 30 New Threads to go through. I watched a video on a guy who ran the exact same kind of saw the ms 261 and each one went from Brand New Stock to down the list had each one of these Mods done to them and the last one that had all...

    Everyone is gonna have their preference on what they like to run over the other just like in octane of gas. Some only like to buy the premixed stuff with 93 octane and no ethanol. My saw runs fine with 91 octane from the station gas pump mixed with my hp ultra oil. Although I just found a...

    I bought the file and new chain in the pics above from Farm and Home which is a convenient store for outdoors/ farm/ cowboy type supplies. It's kinda like a home depot/ Lowe's store just has more varieties of stuff like clothes and pet food and stuff also. Where home depot is more tools style...

    It's a brand new ms 261 c-m not that that matters but gives you a idea if it's worth porting if I'm only cutting firewood from here on out. Since I have cut down the trees already that I bought the saw specifically for. Now it's just firewood for the remainder of its life.

    This is off topic but I've been watching videos on woodsporting a chainsaw. Everyone a I hear from tells me I should post my muffler but I know doing that will completely void my 2 year warranty if anything happens to my saw before February 2021. So do you believe it is worth it to cut the slits...

    Did I buy the Wrong size file or is Google Wrong?

    Yes I definitely will for sure from now on because the kid that was the salesman at farm and home the day I bought the file and chain didnt even know the difference in the sizes of chains or anything about them I had to find everything myself and teach him about the pitch gauge and link count...

    Ok thank you. Much appreciated. I thought I was right and hoping I didnt mess up somehow because, i would have just wasted $75 and also ruined my other chain that came with my saw that i had already filed one whole side of teeth on

    As you can see in the pictures Google says my 325 pitch chain takes a 5/32 file. The extra chain I bought for the saw and the stihl 2 in 1 file I bought says other wise. They say the 325 pitch takes a 4.8mm file which is a 3/16 file. The 2 in 1 file itself is marked 325 pitch 4.8mm file. Google...

    This is the file size Google says I should use for my 325 pitch chain. They say I should buy a 5/32 file.

    Recommendations on best 16 or 18in bar and chain combo.

    I just happen to come across a Oregon bar and chain for $50 and thought I'm already gonna spend almost $30 on stihl chain why not get a bar with the chain for another 20

    Recommendations on best 16 or 18in bar and chain combo.

    So stick with the the 20 then? So what's the thoughts on the Oregon bars and chains are they good to use or just run the stihl brand chains because weather or not I buy another bar I'm buying extra chains. I'm asking more in the area of the chain recommendations because my saw didnt have any...

    Recommendations on best 16 or 18in bar and chain combo.

    I was asking just because I found a Oregon pro lite bar and chain combo that says it'll fit my stihl perfectly and it's not bad priced
