That stamped bucking spike looks cheap. I can't believe they did that. On a $600 saw. That's not right.
Dual dogs here we come.
And the suspense builds.

It's here! The M-Tronic MS261C is finally here.

Yes, just like the 441, only with the momentary kill switch.
The truck is finally done. Rotated the tires and bled new fluid through all for corners.

Time To Launch
There will be no vids in wood until later in the week, perhaps Thurday night. My truck is waiting for me to install new brakes on it in the driveway. Sometimes life dictates what you'll do, rather than what you want to do
You need one of these Brad, so you can work in the standing position.

So you think the M-tronic system will compensate for gutting the strato stuff?

I really have no idea. There's only one way to find out
Gutsy~!
Not nearly as risky as the first 261 when I went out on a limb and gutted the strato!

A judge somewhere really needs to ban you from going within 100 feet of a porting tool Brad

Fair call. I'll post Brad some more carbide burrs shortly...

Why? Are you scared you'll finally have to face the truth about the 261?
When I can throw a baseball down the intake and not touch the sides get back to me

For the newb...
What is the concept behind strato (dual level split) intake? Is it better charge mixing? More turbulent tumble? Higher torq ? Lower emissions due to ... what?

Think of it as layered, levels of gasses (hence the 'strato' name).
The upper layer is mostly air, which helps to push the exhaust gas out, without exhausting unburnt fuel.
The lower level is air mixed with 2-cycle mix, which combines with the remaining air for combustion. The idea is to prevent pushing unburnt fuel mix out with the exhaust.

Thanks for that! Now we need something similar that shows what Brad does to "de-strato" the saw for super-power.

That's all documented in the thread where I modded the first 261.
I did some searching and found this thread: http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/153482.htm
Is that the one?
That's it. It's a long read, but it details the step by step process of how I came to mod the 261 like I do to this day.
