Tried it on an ms250 a few years ago. Untouched carb with h&l turned all the way out wouldn't turn off because of how lean it ran. Pulled the carb and almost doubled the low and high side orfices. Wasn't a big gain, and you have to flush the fuel system with gas after you run it, but man did it...
MkII and stock same with the 261 stock and mtronic
I'm telling ya man!
Doesn't need to be. It was embarrassing for the 550 and 261. And to think its about half the price too!
My MS250 will run right past a 550 xp or a 261. Only opened the muffler and 3/8lp conversion. Has yet to let me down. Little clamshell is a straight ripper!
@RI Chevy nope never figured it out. I'm not gonna lie tho, I stopped checking after the first time because I was so fed up with the whole deal. It is a nice chain tho. I'll check and see if we're able to order it on Monday. That and the light 04 and 06 bars that haven't been released yet....
Finally got the connecting and drive links from @jmester . Got the extra link added. Cuts awesome on my 036. Although the regular .325 that I square filed cuts better. It cuts great for a stock chain!
I don't know how you guys take such perfect looking pictures haha. Tried to take a few more with better lighting. They seem to be in line with each other.
My first try at square filing. This is after trying and fuggin up 5 or 6 other teeth.....
Using a Stihl triangular file. Am I heading in the right direction with what you would want in a "play" chain? Criticism very welcome.... just a hack wantin to cut wood fast :D
Yes I'm looking for 2 presets and a drive link for the 23rs pro. Would you be interested in selling/ trading for what I need? Or if you have the part# handy that would work too lol
If I'm not mistaken its only .050 below the tie straps and .063 where the strap is. The new chain is .050 the whole height of the drive tooth with no step down.
Trust me I was pretty shocked myself...
Good call on the husky shops. Didn't think of that one. Thanks for the heads up!
I work at a dealer in CT, and thats what our parts guy said Stihl told him.
Normal .325 from Stihl is .063 gauge. We have a bunch of those presets at the shop. Wont work for the 23RS chain.
its Stihls newer .325 chain 23RS. Its a .050 narrow kerf chain. Part# on box is 3690 005 0080.
You literally took the words out of my mouth! They obviously sell it with the bulk rolls. Why can't they sell me a couple drive links and connecting links? Damn Stihl.....
