First impression of the Stihl 241c

[RyeThomas]

I'm still trying to burn 3 tanks thru her so I can hold her WOT and see what she can do. It's funny how little fuel these little guys use. I'm at 2.5 tanks.

As stated I'm glad you guys put this thread up and kept it going, it got me to purchase one and I am very happy with it.

 

[svk]

Why can't you run it at WOT yet?

 

[RyeThomas]

I've always babied them for 3 tanks then let them eat for the rest of forever.

I should rephrase that to start leaning on her hard, not WOT.


I really think this has rounded out a great 3 saw plan for me.

Run it wide open in wood its better for it then if you dont actually .

 

[svk]

I'm far from someone who abuses equipment but I think it's important to run them hard enough to seat the rings though.

 

[RyeThomas]

Yeah, I meant lean on her. I run her wot in the cut but I'm easy with them for the first few tanks, then I dog them in.

 

[RyeThomas]

Oh they get worked after tank 3. Just what I've been told by guys much smarter than me (doesn't take much). I noticed my 362C seemed to get better after 5-10 tanks then she was what she was.

Man I can't spell today, lots of edits. Lmao.

Hey guys.

Just a heads up: I'm not doing it for sure yet but I'm considering selling my 241. It would come with 12", 14", and 16" bars and 4 new/like new chains.

Cutting wood this weekend I had the revelation the I have too damn many saws and I'd be better off repurposing some of my funds to other wood cutting toys.

I really like my 241 but I love my ported 550. And even if I port the 241 it's still not going to be as powerful as the 550.

Going to sleep on it. Stand by....

Alright, it is going on the block as soon as I get some good pictures. I'll give you guys first shot.

That's crazy man!

 

[svk]

That's crazy man!

LOL

Crazy is farting around with stock saws when I could be using this:

 

[svk]

Well, my 241 will be living out its days with a fellow AS member. Now I won't feel bad porting another saw or two lol.

 

[CaseyForrest]

At least someone else will get to enjoy it.

Daughter cut her teeth with the 241 today. Shes been nagging me for awhile to show her how to use a chainsaw. She wanted to try the 461, but I had to break her heart and give her the baby saw...

Nice!

 

[RyeThomas]

Got mine ported a few weeks ago, video doesn't do it justice. Thing is insane.

 

[CaseyForrest]

Who did it? What was the cost and turnaround time?

 

[RyeThomas]

Not sure of the rules here, PM sent.
