    Ceramic bearings

    Not saw application, but used them in down hill mountain bikes. I didn’t feel much difference, and would damage easier than steel balls (as stated above). Did some asking around and ceramic ain’t all that in the real world on bikes, as stated above, easy to damage and pricey. If it were a work...

    Question on a part number for a MS261-c m-tronic

    This is a UK number I think, 1141 400 1331, may help. Don’t go ordering it, I may be wrong. Got a hefty tag of £95, and is complete, this is the other number, and cheaper, 1141 400 4731. Hope these help deduce you to something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any Cloned AT or MT saws out there

    I agree whole heartedly, give me a saw with an ECU, and the software to play with it. This is where Stihl and Husky will miss out. How many DIYers have scan tools for their vehicle? It doesn’t fix your car, but it certainly lowers the “where do I start?”. Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t a fan of...

    Any Cloned AT or MT saws out there

    I worked for a company that purchased the Siemans Velaro high speed train. Word was that there had been an accident in China with a Velaro, and Siemens went to investigate, and found plenty of cloned parts on the train, safety related and otherwise, and Siemens realised there was no money in the...

    Any Cloned AT or MT saws out there

    6 years and some dealers don’t understand AT/MT [emoji3]. The 500i doesn’t even have a carb. If people undated their saws regularly, then maybe we’d see clones, but as “vintage” saws are still being utilised commercially and domestically in large enough numbers, the need to hurry up and clone...

    Any Cloned AT or MT saws out there

    I haven’t seen any AT/MT clones, and I’ve looked. Can’t even get a slanty fin cylinder for a Stihl, all clone cylinders are straight finned. Give it a while, and the Chinese will work out what’s what, and sure enough they’ll clone it. Whether they’ll be on or below par is another question. Hit...

    261cm & white fuel solenoid OK? Technical reference says not to do it

    I rebuilt mine with the white solenoid and orange fuel filter, no problems at all. Think mine is a V1. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Duct Tape ?

    You need to prep the cardboard surface with 180 grit before applying tape [emoji3]. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stihl MS 261 rebuild questions

    How the? In the UK, a new Stihl MS261 piston alone is £87, 98 US dollars at current exchange rate, and Germany is right next door to The UK? Hence why I got a Meteor for £40. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stihl MS 261 rebuild questions

    The clutch is easy, once you have the “E” clip is off, washer, drum come off and bearing, lock the piston, I used nylon rope (some frown upon this), 19mm spanner or socket & bar, spin the clutch the opposite as you’d think (clutch is marked with off direction), and then the oil pump drive arm...

    Stihl MS 261 rebuild questions

    I’ve wet sanded each 2nd hand cylinder I’ve bought, removes the hone from the last set of rings and piston. I use 240 grit and 2 Stoke oil as the wet, and the whiff off a touch, I’m pretty ham handed, so go light, it really cleans up the bore. Never having worked on small engines, I was quite...

    Stihl MS 261 rebuild questions

    That piston is toast, I’m optimistic about the cylinder though. Not a saw pro by any means. Tear that saw down. Have you checked the clutch side of the crank for wear/play yet? Before going too deep with diagnosing the cylinder, take off the bar and chain and wobble the drum, see how much “free”...
