Hello,
I just brought home a Stihl MS 241 C-M which I ordered through my local dealer. The saw runs very well, but I have noticed that the "switch shaft" on/off/choke selector feels flexible and insubstantial. This is very different from the impression I have of the similar switch found on my older MS 362. I have used the 362 for several years and never thought the switch seemed flimsy, but with the new Stihl 241 C-M the switch lever seems to be bending quite a bit before it transfers enough pressure to actually switch.
I am wondering if this is normal for the new saws or if perhaps my switch is made from an unusually soft batch of plastic moldings.
Does anyone have any first hand observations they can share about these saws?
Thank you.
