Ok Thank you Randy now to find a muffler.lol

Is that the weak link on them? What other things have you come across on them?

So far......that's it.

So far......that's it.

What do they cost do you know?

 

[Ron660]

Mtronics related issue?

bout 20 bucks now...down from 50 on the last one we had to replace on a 362cm. and that's been the only one weve seen back to the shop. just as the o.p. described, couldn't even get it to idle in the start position to manually calibrate it. saw would just flood itself out.

Worth keeping one in stock for that price. I wonder if they fit other size saws.

depending on what your getting a muffler for you might just be better off buying the solenoid and replacing it yourself...if youre handy enough, shouldnt be a hard procedure though. if your gonna spend 50 on a muffler anyways to get warranty work done to replace a 20 dollar part you might as well take that and buy the solenoid.

they use the same solenoid on all mtronic saw carbs...so far.

Well worth keeping an extra around then.

Anyone know the part number or who mite have one?

 

[Mastermind]

Thanks for the input Ted......I'm far less experienced on the service issues than you are.

 

[big t double]

0000 120 5110 is the part number.

 

[Laslabjohn]

Thanks Randy

im just a parts counter flunky/service writer. but I watch very very closely to what the mechanics are doing....I only tinker in my basement on the older saws and haven't had the chance to get into any m-tronics yet. youre probably more well versed in em than I am.

l'd go with the solenoid based on one fact only.......M/M has worked on more 261's than l or the op had hot breakfasts or cold for that matter. l would guess failures directed to parts on a 261 would be quite rare. They are a dead reliable saw.

Recalibrate the saw John

Recalibrate the saw John

You can't re calibrate the saw if it won't stay running.

 

[KG441c]

True. I talked to him earlier and didnt know it wouldnt run on start. This is simple though. Either its getting fuel or its not
