I need some advice.

[sawmikaze]

Ok so last week I was touching myself watching Buckin' Billy Ray "stand up and buck" some logs and I figured I better get with the program or the Bro's of Instagram were gonna kick me out of the club.

So I made my way over to Ebay and got me one of those Mighty MS 250's with a 32" cannon super-mini and went to town on a 36" piece of shagbark hickory and I started to notice the saw was smoking and the bar and chain were as well and then all of a sudden the chain wouldn't spin around the bar anymore and the saw quit running.

Now before you Ruffians accuse me of having the chain brake on I swear I didn't.

Does anyone have any advice on a better saw I could buy or any modifications I could make to this 250, I was impressed with the power on that bar but something just doesn't seem right.

Is there a builder in mind to really get the power out of this saw ?

Thanks in Advance.

First off don't touch yourself then go do some sawing... bad mojo...

It's worked every time I've tried it.

But I always wear chainsaw pants when I touch it.

Well, if you got to touch it, chaps no pants...

That isn't approved by STIHL. I'm a by the book kinda guy. Thanks for the help though.

@jacob j.

I was told you were a good sawing consultant, could you point me in the right direction ? TIA.

Just spit on the chain when it starts smoking. You obviously have to reduce the friction, and that’s the best way I know how.

Sometimes touching leads to spray. Get goggles...
Also, its called a blade. Bars are where you drink IPA’s with yore manbun lumbersexual “be kind friends”

Obviously you just need a longer bar and a smaller sprocket...

I cannot due to pending litigation.

I guess that subscription to your only fans wasn't worth it after all.

I heard Iron Pony can do wonders on the ms250.

I’m no help
I run bigger saws to compensate

Pfft….You should have gotten the MS251.

You better take it easy joking around about beer, Pilgrim. The guys in Patagonia jackets and Birkenstocks get pissed real quick. Plus you could potentially lose internet friends over it. I found that out the hard way.

Bad advice here O.P. I, too, had heard that this guy was the man...
I learned yesterday that bigger head, smaller bar, and bigger sprocket is the ticket. We're still talking about the pre-game fap-out right?
