261

I have been looking for another 026 for a while, found one on kijiji, ad stated “ runs just like it should”. Talked a bit with the fella and got him to ship it to me. Guy leaves the bar and chain on his bench and ships just the head. I check it all out, put some fresh gas in and it fires up...

I’m looking for some thoughts about a two-saw plan. I heat partially but not exclusively with wood, and I help a couple of friends with maintenance on their property (260 acres of fields and hardwoods). My primary uses are bucking trunks and limbs as well as cutting trails. Right now, I have...

Hey I have a ms261 (c/cm?) which I guess is considered gen 1. It’s mtronic but has the older style clutch cover with captive bar nuts not the newer style. Does anyone know if I can change the clutch cover out to the newer style? I know it’s not a direct replacement but does it work with other...

Hello, I'm pretty new on here, used to be a lurker until recently. So I just got a new MS 261 (ver 3/carb) this spring and scrolling around during that time (including that 400-500 pages oil thread, oh god) I noticed that the veterans on this site aren't big fans of this oil. "Smells bad"...

Looking to buy a new Stihl MS 261 without M-Tronic. Probably a needle in a haystack here in Canada, but if anyone knows a dealer with one in stock (or is selling one new), please let me know! UPDATE: Found one in Canada!

Ok, it started at my $80 saw thread and now it's time to go back together. I ordered parts and cleaned it up a little bit. The case needs a little more "toothbrush" work, but hey, I think its alright. As far as parts, it's all new and oem. Piston kit, carb kit, fuel solenoid, handle...

It's all stock except for the Hyway popup piston and base delete. Cutting oak.

I decided I wont be using this on my 261. Asking $50 shipped. Here is a video of my friends MS261C, all stock except for the Hyway popup piston and a base delete. Here is a video of my friends 261. All stock except for a Hyway popup piston

Im looking for a Stihl saw in either a 026/260/261 and the like or a 036/360/361/362. Not picky on much, just looking for a clean saw at a good price. i would even go for a 044/440/441 if the price is right. Bar length is not a major detail to me either. Thank you!

Might buy one

So, after many hours of research and thought, I finally pulled the trigger on a new MS261cm! Immediately took it to the woods to break it in. I am very impressed! Light, fast, a joy to run. Highly recommend.
