[tree monkey]

I’m gonna say 5 or 6 I think, I need to keep better track. I still think she has a little breaking in to do.

I was just gifted those ancient 064 with brand new OEM c&p and the 066 no decomp for my voluntary service.

Ran it some this morning before the rain, another two tanks. No restart issues.

 

[Stihl working Hard]

Yep me too
I've walked out of several places over the year's.
When are you going to be able to run your 462 todd?

Definitely next weekend wifeys honey do list is longer than my arm

 

[Stihl working Hard]

Us saw geeks collect spikes......and chain catchers......and handlebars. It's bling for the saw.......everyone knows that.

Is there a G string R model

I have about 10 tanks so far as well, and just yesterday ran into a restart problem. Any idea what it is?

I let it sit for a bit, cleared the chamber, did several rain dances and it finally started again.

 

[Backtroller]

Had you ever done the reset procedure prior or now after this restart problem?

 

[RI Chevy]

I heard some of those require 4sixtypulls2 to get them restarted. Lol. This was a joke.

I also heard they need to return back to idle prior to shutting them down. I let mine idle for 5 to ten seconds before shutting down.
I am referring to Gen1 261cm.

 

[huskyboy]

I would use the “choke” if the saw is somewhat warm, but cooled down too much to use “run” (sitting 10 minutes). Might take two pulls tops. I wanna comment a little more about the power of this saw and how it makes it... now that I actually have some good run time on it. Torque: I would say it doesn’t quite have the torque of a 461 off idle, or stopping and starting in cuts. Which is kind of expected from the displacement disadvantage. It does feel as fast or faster than a 461 though in cut speed, as I mentioned before. Great throttle response and holds impressive rpms in the wood for a stock saw. However the torque is still good for a stock saw. Not peaky. I would just say it just prefers to be ran in the midrange and up top. It packs a punch there.

I purposely ran this saw out of fuel and shut it off quickly a few times to try to invoke a problem. None yet. I do usually let it idle though for a few seconds before I shut it off.

No not yet. First mtronic, sounds like it's worth doing just in case out of the box.

I noticed several times I ran it out of fuel it would cut the throttle in a weird way right before it was empty and go into an idling state before shut off. Maybe the computer is trying to emulate that.

 

[RI Chevy]

I think mtronic remembers the saws last settings. Not sure though.

It does that for me too. It seems normal. I put it on choke to restart after ran dry like any other saw and it starts. Just because it shows a little fuel in the tank doesn’t mean it’s not starving the saw in different positions.

 

[huskyboy]

If you want to reset it, start it on choke (don’t engage brake) for 30 secs, then hold WFO throttle until it speeds up to max then back to normal again. It’s now reset.
