stihl out of 441s

[Brianlol]

There everyone a electrical problem that won't go away. They are usually still running when he gets them but not well. When your dealor can't fix it stihl sends it to him to troubleshoot. He said it's bad enough that they don't know what there gonna do yet. Now mind u there's thousands of them running problem free every day.

I think that sounds like a problem with the ignition firing when the piston is to far advanced or retarded. It can't get much simpler than spark and fuel. I wonder if the dealer put a timing wheel on them.

Operator error..

Exactly.
That fact that they introduced operator error into the design makes me wish that the people designing the new Stihls would get out of the lab more often.

I think it has to do with a fuel solinoid

Screw caps weren't infallible either. I've forgot to snug them up on occasion and had them dump gas and oil all over me. They wear out and break just like anything else.

I hear ya. I the military, you always have a few nuggets that will always try stick a square peg in a round hole. We use to say that soldiers learn in one of two ways, repetition or blunt force trauma. Some guys do both and still don't get it.

I will say that I've found that flippys work better with E10. Seems like the sealing ring on screw caps swells a bit and some of my equipment I to use a screwdriver or scrench to open up the fuel caps now.

461 prices are all over the board. The dealer I was in yesterday the 661 was $990. The 461 would be my pick out of the stihl lineup for a new saw right now.

$1000 for a 461 here.

 

[USMC615]

$1000 for a 461 here.

Yep...$1060 with a 20" bar, $1080 with a 25" bar around Warner Robins/Macon area.

That is a very low price on a 661. What were they selling 461s for, and where is this?

I didn't ask for a price on the 461. I may do that but I'm afraid I'll get one. It's in southern PA at an Mennonite dealer.

 

[jmssaws]

661 or 660 1017$ at my local dealor.

 

[Flip D]

That's some good pricing some of you have. $1249 for 661 w/ 20" bar and over $1300 for a real bar around here. jmssaws can get a 661 cheaper than a 461 at any of the dealers in the foothills of NC.

Ms461 950.00 wanted it with out bar.but has to be ordered with a bar NE Indiana

[SAWMIKAZE]

I can buy 461 R's for 950.00

 

[jmssaws]

9 something for a 461 but they never sell a 461 round here. ain't enough saw to cut 15" oaks according to the schmucks in these hills. I recon if your gonna spend 950 throw another 100 on it and get the 661, I'd prolly do the same.
