Well I like the captured nuts, so thank you guys for the helpful info! I acatualy have a 261, so I'll go see if the cover fits. I just assumed it would not. Feel kinda dumb now. Also, the 261 doesn't have holes for the dogs on the outside cover, however there are recessed provisions for them. If...

No there isn't any holes or even places where holes should be for the outside dog. My buddies 361 has holes on the outside cover on his, but mine does not. Thanks for the help, as mentioned hardly any of the older threads will pull up for me and pretty much none of the pictures will.

Am I doing something wrong? Almost none of the older links work for me when I click on them.

I just got myself a 361 and I would like to put the newer style clutch cover on it, like my 261 with the captive bar nuts. Will a 362 cover fit or are they to different from each other? Also, I've searched alot on here for pictures of muffler mods, but most of the pictures don't show up for me...

I've raced and rode 4 wheelers for years. A lot of those years were on banshees (two strokes). I won't hurt anything by putting some in a saw. I will warn you of this though, do not exceed the amount on the directions. That stuff is beyond potent when your down in the woods! It would be a funny...

Thanks guys! My buddy has given me a 361 that tragically got smashed while falling a tree. I'm getting ready to tear into it and see if its going to be cost efficient to repair. As soon as I have the time to get that done, I will be in contact. Thank you!

I currently have a ms 261 and need a bigger saw for bucking and cutting down larger timber. Mostly old big oak. My little 261 gets right after it for the most part and has served me well over the last few years, but I just need a bigger saw sometimes! My dad has an 038 mag and I really like the...

Right on bud! I went from using my dads 038 mag to purchasing my first saw, which is the 261 pro just a few months ago. I've ran about a gallon and a half through it so far and it seems like it runs a little stronger every trip to the patch. I had my stihl dealer open my muffler up as well as...

I didn't know Stihl made one either. Do you have a link to it, I'm curious to see it anyways. I've had a 6.5hp craftsman that gets used at least twice a month to shop vac my truck and it has been great. I've had it for almost 8 years now and its still going as strong as ever.

Ive seen a few guys putting dual dogs on their 261 pro saws. Which ones are you using and where do you get them? Thanks!

Thats a great trick to have handy! Thanks for the help!

Hahah, well although I've only cut three loads of wood so far, I am finding that I really like the saw. However I have to decided to get another saw for a backup and I'd rather it be a larger saw, for just in case moments. I've searched the muf mod and come up with hundreds of posts, but nothing...

Ok, so what would a good second saw be? I'd like one with a bit more punch, for falling bigger trees when the time comes. My dad has an 038 super mag that runs pretty good. Should I be on the hunt for a good 038? Also, I'd still like to upgrade the 261! I guess anything goes really, I'm new to...

Awesome, but all that jargon you used doesn't make any sense to me! hahah, i don't know what a dual spike kit is or an iirc. This is my first saw to upgrade, so please have some patience with me. Who would be the go to guy to send it to for port work? and thanks for the help!

I'm interested in dressing up my saw a little bit, possbily getting a bit more power out of her. Its a new 261 pro with a 16" bar and chisel chain. I'm new to saws somewhat, so forgive me if this sounds dumb. I live in north west missouri and cut firewood. I normaly cut locus, oak and some...
