Hey yall, appreciate the help here. I know there are other posts on here about this but wanted to get your opinion. I had no clue my hand me down, 16 year old MS250C had the Easy Start / Ergo Start. I'll be honest, don't think my dad ever had it break or need repair, and I didn't even realize it was the easy start until reading about it and then comparing to other guys' saws. I get that it doesn't feel as good or intuitive to start as a normal starter, but I'll be honest, I've been drop starting it by pulling the rope hard and had no issues. I already converted the easy tensioner junk assembly to the old school double bar stud and it's been great.
So I've got two primary questions. One, should I convert now? Is it pretty straight forward? Or should I not break something that isn't broken... Either way, if these are as bad as you guys say, I feel I should plan ahead for when it breaks then and have part numbers ready.
I read on other posts that you have to replace both the starter assembly and the flywheel, but that's it? No carb change, coil, etc?
I also saw a post with part numbers, both the before/MS250C part numbers, and after/MS250 normal starter part numbers. However, doesnt look like mine match any of those and I'm not even seeing anything on Google...
Pulling my MS250C starter, I see this part number: 1123 084 1060 A. Googled and not really seeing anything? Any ideas here?
Can anyone here help me get the right part numbers? I am just going to buy new and OEM just because ive had bad luck with used and aftermarket parts... curious if anyone has an idea on price for OEM too.
Thanks all for the advice. I can post pics if need be.
