Picked up a used 261c... any tips?

I guess we all have our methods and I guess whatever works for you is the best. My experience with mtronic on my 241 is to actuate the choke, pull once or twice until it runs, then pull the trigger to release the choke and warm it up while you’re walking to the cut. Then unless it sets very long, it will start on the first pull thereafter.

he’s outlining the reset procedure. He’s not saying that is what you are supposed to do every time you start the saw.

Yea this is just the calibration procedure for the newest version of the MT carbs. It’s funny how many people don’t know this process yet those saws still run like a top! I myself deal with approximately 40 saws at work and about 25 of those are M Tronic, and of those 25 there is a mix of V2 and V3 carbs so it can get a little confusing lol.

NICE! Looks like new! Now I really want one. Tried to sell my 026 for $225 and 260 for $300 on CL couple months ago, but got no offers. I was going to get a 261 with the proceeds.
