Kinda hard not to. There are not many out anymore are there. The only one I know of is the dolmar 6100 but I have very limited knowledge.Don't buy a saw with a cat converter muffler.
There are two main sources of emissions on chainsaws, which are primarily unburned fuel going out the exhaust. The first is scavenging losses due to the exhaust port being open while the fresh charge is entering the cylinder, and the second is the poor fuel control of conventional all position carbs. A cat does absolutely nothing to address the cause of these emissions, rather it just burns up some of the wasted fuel in the muffler, turning it into heat not mechanical energy. It's a poor band aid at best, and it also is restrictive and gets very hot (especially if you enrich the mixture).Why not?
I do not believe there are any Stihl or Husqvarna (or Poulan) saws that still have cats. Instead they use strato and often feedback carbs on the high volume models, and often they can get away without either on the bigger, lower volume units.Kinda hard not to.

Why not PS?Great choice. I agree- use the PS3 chain for that saw. Saw should have a 7 pin rim sprocket
You bet. Should have said PS/PS3. Some have said PS may be hard to findWhy not PS?
Thank you. I've heard that PS can be scarce. So far it's been readily available here. Guess we're lucky.You bet. Should have said PS/PS3. Some have said PS may be hard to find
If this is the same 241 you referenced in your first post you may want to edit the price out of the post. If your looking to keep it a secret. Great saw! I'm sure you will like it a lot.[/QUOTE
Some days I'm into it some days not as much? I actually like that for an "out there price" so let it fly as non-editable anyway...
Thinking about it, when you keep a saw as long as I do, the price matters not a hell of a lot!,i.e., see below...
Conversation of old farts: Wife and I were watching the Barn Builder show (I like those guys!) which I DVR and rip through each episode. Our conversation turned to how she thought I should write a small paper on how our home came about(large log home with timber frame addition) given that our adult children were babies during the two year build and given that it's a built from the woods bldg., other than light fixtures, plumbing, so forth and I'm the only one that knows all the tales associated with it. Then she says "and what about all your stuff" meaning the large shop bldg filled with a lifetime of hands on tools and motorcycles in progress and so on, as only me knows their values and so on-like the saw I just bought. I just told her what was left after my 3 boys split it up the "keepit's" , there's always ebay.
I have a newish Stihl biggest blower replete with the toolless gas cap. Am I alone in saying I really dislike them! I've already had one break on the blower after just couple of years! I vote for the crude version as I always have a tool handy when running a saw-maybe not on the blower but they still suck IMO.
What else do the mufflers "get" or lose? For the record I have 35% loss R&L so always wear muffs on my head, plugs on bikes!!!
Keep the "how to improve my MS241 C" posts coming!
Keep the saw stock and follow the manual at least until the warranty runs out. You never know......keep the 241 ideas coming now!
