tachometer

Randy

Getting a tachometer to work will be a challenge on the MS241

Many have tried and failed

you might want to investigate this now so you can work it out while finishing the four bench jobs ahead of it

 

[Stihlman441]

Good point, same with the 441C MTronics as well i wonder if there is a way to get past there set max rpm.

 

[deye223]

I sat him next to an 088 for the night Andrew.

hope he doesn't get litle di oops BAR syndrome :msp_lol:

Oh yeah.....about the little saw. Max rpm out of the wood is of no concern to me.

If we can raise the rpm in the cut......well now that would make me a happy guy. :msp_thumbup:

I've found that the rev limited coils on Husqvarna saws make stronger runners in the wood than the unlimited ones do.....I'll take all the blue 14,100 coils I can find.

 

[Jacob J.]

Now run along with your little saws and prune a tree.

That's been my experience. I got a blue coil on every one of my saws.

I wonder why this is?

probably timing advance

Bingo...

 

[Jacob J.]

Bingo...

They definitely act like they have a timing advance at around 8k and higher.

I've tried to find a technical bulletin on it but haven't seen one.

 

[moody]

probably timing advance

Good call. Learn something everyday. I thought the unlimited coils had timing advance too?

They do but the curve is different. It's seems like the limited coils are better suited for our desires.

Someday (if I ever get time) I want to do a compro with a timing tight.

Some more 241 piccys from yesterday. All small trees with maybe a max trunk diameter of 10". Lots of limbing involved as well to gain access to the trunk.
I ran both my bog stock 241 with a 16" bar, 7 pin rim, and Carlton K3 .325" semi chisel and my muffler modded 550XP with 18" bar, 8 pin rim, and Carlton K1 semi chisel. I averaged 95 trees a tank with the little Stihl and 75 a tank with the 550XP. I dropped just over 100 an hour average with the 241 and just over 90 an hour with the 550. Running the numbers over the day the little 241 therefore dropped around 10% more trees in the same amount of time than the 550XP taking into account fuel refills etc.
There is absolutely no doubt that the 550 is a faster saw in larger cuts (WAY faster) and is an absolute weapon for 50cc. Goes to show that speed in some situations such as this doesn't make as much difference as people think. Despite being a Husky fan the 241 is a lot nicer to use and has a lot better filter with the HD2. Paper specs therefore mean jack sh*t after actually using both.
It was an interesting comparo yesterday despite being just under 40°C (104°f) and with high humidity. I was sweating my tits off.

This was the amount of trees felled with one tank on the 241. It also ran out on the backcut which left it in a lovely position to refill. With the oiler wound up it was running just under 1:1 on the fuel oil.

Getting a tachometer to work will be a challenge on the MS241

Stihl make a tacho to suit the M-Tronics. Around the AUD$200-220 mark or thereabouts. Bennn*e on here has one.

There have been some post deletions, some warnings, and some infractions. Maybe what started out as a good thread can stay that way now.

Interesting find on an Autotune Husky today. I thought I built in an air leak when I ported it. It was slow coming down to idle and just had that lean sound coming off the throttle.

Turns out it was the strato butterfly not quite closing all the way.

Please report back when you've modded the 241 Randy. Enough of these information tidbits on other brands

I guess thats why they call you Air Leak Evans ;-)

Are you using these coils on bigger saws like the 390 or just the 346?
