Running a test on the MS241 C-M

[James Miller]

Why? Because hes the sneller man and he sees all andnknows all. If a 251 will run an 18" 325,I know my 241 will.

the 241 will run an 18" bar no problem but if Stihl offered it that way ,it would infringe on 261 territory.

The 250 is gutless with .325 18". 16" pico is what it should ware.

So a MS250 is par with the MS241?

 

[HarleyT]

I have run the MS250s with both, and preferred the .325 chain. But that is just me, and I sharpen chains better than most...

not quite. the 241 has an edge with better filtration and the antivibe. starts a he!! of a lot easier too.

 

[HarleyT]

I buy lots of MS251s, but haven't run one yet. Maybe I'll have to keep one for fun, and try both setups...

The filtration on a 250 is a joke.

keep telling yourself that.

To be fair, none of that has anything to do with cutting speed/efficiency...

 

[HarleyT]

keep telling yourself that.

OK, I likely will.

Not a chance. My 250 sits on a shelf but I'd run Steve's 241 any chance I get. The 250 does run much better with the pico chain though.

Save those stupid moving smileys. They are annoying.

Why is that? Is it because of the 6 tooth sprocket?

The filtration on a 250 is a joke.

And this affects the cutting?

So you guys aren't following this thread, just reading the last 2 or three posts?

No but it's lets a lot of sawdust get under it. every time I take it off to clean the throat is full of it. also mine floods really easy and I mean easy. took it to dealer when it was new and they said I didn't know how to start a stihl. I already had stihl junk for years and never a problem starting any of them. but the dealer here is an ass hole.

^^^^^^^^^

ok, just the air filter then the 250 is dirty 10 minutes after you run it. the 241 stays clean for tanks and tanks of fuel. the m-tronic compensates for all the variables,fuel mix,temp,humidity wood types and gives you a better running saw.

Guess not, we done derailed it and I understand he's just going to test it out. which is fine. gotta learn from experience.

from post one.

 

[HarleyT]

So your "issues" are in other areas, and have nothing to do with the discussion about which chain/sprocket system cuts better. Which is what this thread is about>

At least we have evolved slightly from "Because Brad says so"..........

That was one of the questions. How many here are replying from experience, or just regurgitating crap they read here?
