Here are some shots of the air filter after several tanks of fuel.

Compression is right at 180 PSI.

Looks like the Husky air injection works well!:hmm3grin2orange:
With all that filter surface area, it should be a "Lifetime" component.

Have you considered a velocity stack yet?

I can't look at the 261's intake set up without thinking of a Bonneville 650.
It works, but it's begging to be tinkered with. LOL!!

Stay safe!

Thanks Brad for giving me the bright idea of photo's on dinning room table...:D...lol

Yep, Brads right, this 261 pulls hard through the oak, much better than my MS260 pro (I still love the 260, very good saw) This is my new "go 2 saw" for my tree service busness.

Here's some pics of the big bore MS261!!! :popcorn:

Dude, is that chain on backwards or just plain dull from the factory?? From my angle it seems to be to be blowing a lot of dust and if it was going any slower thru that log, it would be in reverse. What gives??

I filmed it with my iPhone and the light was in the background, the chips were good size chips, not the safety chain that come with it. Had the dealer swap me chains. It was brand new .325 stihl rsc. Good chips from dead ash! The saw is awesome! Can not wait to get it to Brad and do his magic!

I got a chance to run my 261 today for a couple hours and all I can say is I am VERY impressed! it runs real strong for a 50cc saw and it is only had 2 tanks of fuel through it! Now it is on its way to see Brad tomorrow to get some steroids injected into it!!!!:hmm3grin2orange:
