Hey guys, posted recently about getting an MS261 and it seemed that, according to the Stihl website, there is a difference between the MS261 and the MS261 CM with the mtronic carb.
However, I got a bit nervous once I noticed a lot of people saying they don't make the non mtronic version anymore.
There are two versions on the Stihl website, but they are exactly the same price and have the EXACT same photos for both pages. Both have the MS261C on the side cover... odd.
I placed the order online to my local dealer and I'm nervous I'm going to get there and they accidentally give me the Mtronic one when I ordered a non Mtronic. Likewise, I am not sure I'd easily be able to tell before walking out the door if it's the mtronic or not.
Do all 261s have C on the side cover now? How can I tell if it's an mtronic or not? I'm kind of bothered that, through all my googling, I can't find a single picture or video or instructions on how to tune an MS261 with the adjustment screws... the manual doesnt even have a picture! Makes me think they dont make it anymore? But why does Stihl list two different pages?
Any dealers out there that can tell me if they still make the non mtronic and if so, how I can make sure that is what I got when I pickup my saw? Thanks guys!
