Definitely going with the MS241C

[HarleyT]

I just use 2 cycle oil and don't worry about it much.

No way would I recommend messing with AV gas or race gas, especially on a brand new MTronic saw. You're just asking for issues. MTronic is not meant to calibrate those fuels.

Shell Advance 2T mineral oil.

Hey what type of oil do you use

Thank you. Guess I'll go back to e-free 89.

Found a local dealer that had one in Stock, and it doesn't feel hardly heavier than a 180. I even took some comparison pics. This dealer asked me $465, the dealer that has to order me one is $440 (plus I get it tax free through a friend's account)

After handling it, I was sold for sure. Man what a great feeling saw. How much to get it snellerized?

Thanks for asking, but I'm not taking any work.

Just for a teaser, here's what they're capable of.

hope your feeling better Brad. i do want a muff mod on my 241. i like the "gills"

Thank you. Guess I'll go back to e-free 89.

run that 241 like ya stole it. lot's of guys here tell me i need a bigger saw. naw!

A Husqvarna 445 is 2.8 hp and had an 18" bar. So shouldn't a 241 run an 18" just fine? Or is it best to just leave it at 16"?

Since I haven't gotten to fondle it up close to inspect it all, is the 241 Rim drive with 7t? Also since the M Tropic adjusts everything, can I muffler mod it straight out of the box?

I would run a 16" bar on it. You can get both rim and spur type sprockets, but no idea what rim size. Probably comes with the spur, but you may be able to get your dealer to swap it out., but you can download the ipl for it and see. Sure, you can MM it from the get go, but you may void the warranty. Run it stock and see how you like it.

I'm not used to the warranty idea lol the other saws were used. I've got to behave with it. But from the Snelling videos, this is one healthy light weight saw.

 

[blsnelling]

Leave the 16" on it. It's only a 42cc engine.

Don't expect it to run anything like that stock. At a minimum, it needs a muffler mod.

Just put a MAGNUM sticker on it.

Much, much cheaper and a whole lot faster than going to the time and trouble of porting and muffler modding it.

Put an 18" on your 360. The 241 will shine with a 14-16" bar. It's a light little saw for all day use in small material. Don't go weighing it down with a longer bar than you need.

 

[Overkill338]

Thank you guys for all the help. Mr Snelling, if you decide to take work later, PM me.

The one you ported for me pulls 18" and a P7 rim like nothing

 

[Overkill338]

I know this seems dumb to ask now. Would the MS261 be a better option for a one saw do it all? Felling decent size trees and still light enough to limb and buck with? Run it with an 18" bar, or have a 20" for putting them down, and a 16" for limbic and bucking?

. I haven't signed on the dotted line yet. The plain 261 (no m tronic) is $480.

 

[1Alpha1]

Not so sure that one saw will do all you want to do and make you happy.

That's why I have two saws.

If the biggest wood you're gonna tangle with is 20-24" in diameter, then a 360 will work as your big saw. A 241 goes with a 60cc saw very well. If you are gonna end up with a 70cc saw then personally I'd buy a 261 and sell the 360.

 

[Overkill338]

24" is pretty much the biggest I'll see and that will be a rarity.

Listen to this guy.

Yes, but OP has a bone stock MS241 coming.
