Acceleration of this saw can cause injury.....

So whats the big deal with the 241? We can't get it here in the states? *I'll apologize for not seeing this answer if its in this thread somewhere already*

Keep watching this thread.
They are the smallest pro saw with MTronic auto tune carb.:)

I'll be getting some good knot free wood for fair comparison videos Andrew......thanks for your patience my friend.

I was really hoping to have both saws here before I tore into either........but that may not be possible.

Thanks for posting those pictures and video David. I'm so slammed with saw work it's not funny. I was contacted this morning about 3 more and those guys said they were ok with a month or more waiting list........it's an honor that any of you guys would allow me to work on a saw for you, let alone be willing to wait.

I'll get started with some videos on this 241 as soon as it stops raining. I want to do some video comparisons. First stock, then with a muffler mod, then fully ported. That way we can see how much is gained in each step....and how the m-tronic system compensates for those changes.

I have the Husky software for the Autotunes.......right now I'm wishing I had the Stihl version.

I am sure someone here can hook you up with the software. If you need any special cables made up or anything of the sort, let me know and I will see what I got.

Stihl has a clamp on anyone but dealers owning their stuff.......hell I doubt I could even find a dealer that has that software.....

I've gotten letters from their lawyers before......the Stihl Gestapo ain't playing. :msp_wink:

Maybe you just need to try a different dealer? :D

My local guy says this is the best thing he has ever used to work on Stihls.

Stihl m-tronic update tool version 2.0.7

That's my biggest gripe about Stihl equipment. Husky, Echo, Poulan, anyone else I can look up parts on line and make it easier for me to ensure I get the right part at a local dealer. Stihl keeps all of that secret info in the trusty vault....

Harley did it to a program for working on fuel maps for Buells. They told everyone that it would ruin the computer and void the factory warranty etc etc until they just made a deal with the software developer and he pull it off the net. Three days after they announced the end of Buell production, they sent a memo to dealers recommending they use this program to fix drive-ability issues! :mad2:

If a person buys the machine.. they should be able to see parts break downs and such.


Anyways.. end rant and back on topic!
