I am wondering what the difference is between the MS180 and MS 180C. I realize the C has the easy start deal, but what is so different about it that makes it almost a pound heavier?
Thanks
Thanks
Those starter systems sure adds a lot of weight, but a full pound sounds like more than usual?
Well, not a FULL pound, more like 3/4 of a lbs. According to the manual, it lists a 180 and 180C and they vary by that much. I can't hardly see a little 180 needing the start system in the first place...so how could it need springs big enough to weigh 0.75 lbs, so if you are questioning the amount of difference (as I am) maybe there is more to a difference between the C and non-C?
I believe the "C" may have more "homeowner" directed add-ons, like the "quick chain adjuster", but not sure. Another useless design......:censored:

I thought "C" is for "cat", but I have one, and it's a non-cat one. Does have the quick adjuster, though. Do they have the same carb and ignition system?
I have used it to fell a few small trees, some pruning and firewood, and I like it. Really can't say anymore than that, though. I think I have a manual somewhere for it, though.
Well, yes, it does have the chain adjuster as well, didn't think of that.
Ok, so is all of this "home owner" stuff easily replaceable with the standard parts, or is it not worth the effort and money??
The "C" is a "homeowner" version of a "homeowner" saw (= it is designed for total morons) - if that makes some sense...:censored::bang::bang::bang:

Surely not worth the cost and and trouble!

While many (myself included) will agree I am a total moron, atleast at times, but that is kind of why I was trying to eliminate those particular components...I don't like the idea of owning a "tard-saw". Ideally I want a MS 200R but this is a good deal on this 180, and will most definitely do everything I need the 200 for anyway, atleast for now till I find a deal on a 200. Do you think the parts are interchangeable had something malfunctioned, and I can replace it with the standard part instead of the "C" part.
Yaaaaaa Baaaaaaaby!!!! I love my MS 270C!!! :greenchainsaw:
I wasn't trying to be Paul Bunyan!! Just wanted a good, reliable saw!! Fills the bill nicely!!
Garman (aka Moron)
if it runs,leave the parts on. as far as being a "tard-saw" ,believe it or not those extras when talking to non-professional sawers make a saw better. it would be of no benefit to remove working parts to replace them with working parts.
When I was looking for a saw, I wasn't looking for the fancy chain adjuster or anything like that. It just so happened that the saw I bought, the MS 270C, was a really good price and that is what it had. I can honestly say I wouldn't have paid more for that feature. I would have been just as happy with a regular MS 270.
I definitely have CAD now. I am constantly looking for deals on craigslist and fleabay! Who knows what I will end up with next!
