How lean was your 261 running Matt? This one I just picked up was turning 14,300, straight 2-stroking. I modded the muffler, removed the carb limiter, and retuned to 13,900-14,000. It'll be a completely different saw now.
Hello,
I just received a new MS 261 as a birthday gift and was surprised to find a "wood boss" bar guide on it; I requested the 18" bar. I think that they come with the "E" which is what the wood boss is (I think), yet some state that they get the "ES" bar with the pro saws ... did the dealer give me a cheaper bar or is all well?
Thanks for your help.

Brad,
Post some pictures of your muffler modification to the 261 please. I have used the "lakeside Andy" technique on my 361 and 441 and really like the improved performance on both. Also, does it require a special Stihl tool to remove the limiter stops on the 261, it appears to be different than my other MS Stihl models. Thanks
Steve
