Will you cut out the intake gasket properly? Or leave it to him to do? Presume the carb will need re-tuning when the gasket is opened up.

That's a great little loaner/beater/truck saw at that price!

Not scientific, but three adverts for 241s here, from a quick Google search, range from £649 / $837 to £747 / $963. Plus shipping!

You can never have too many screnches. I paid around £0.50 / 65 cents each for these. The bottom four have Phillips screwdriver ends. Less useful. I can't think of a chainsaw I own that has Phillips screws. They must be for weed whackers? Then these spark plug wrenches and box wrenches...

Good haul.

Three years ago I got a job lot of these Fuchs Agrifarm one-shot bottles. It's good oil. Mine is only FB rated semi-synthetic, so yours should be even gooder.

There are still some out there, although stock and sizes look limited, and they are still listed on the Stihl website. May just be a supply chain issue? Might be worth a quick email or phone call to Stihl UK to see if they are discontinued. I have Stein Krieger work trousers without chainsaw...

Surely eBay can see the tracking info and accept that the package hasn't been delivered, over the word of the seller? I can track the package from the UK:

If you want to post the cylinder and valve to me (not the whole saw) I'll have a go at putting an insert in, at no cost. I have some inserts here, somewhere. If the repair isn't successful you won't be any worse off, except for the postage cost.

Might be cheaper to send it to @srcarr52 (Shaun Carr) and ask him to weld up the hole and re-cut the thread. Or leave it welded up and delete the de-comp. Was the stripped de-comp the only damage? I don't think a new version cylinder will fit on your saw, so you will need to find an early...

Strato carb. Uses air to purge the cylinder, not fuel/air mix. OEM carbs are expensive. You can get a cheap Chinese carb on Amazon or eBay. Might solve your problem quickly? There are some on Amazon that look right and are even cheaper, but they don't state proper part numbers or compatibility.

You will have to buy another shed soon! Is the saw blade a Silky?

I only know what Acres site shows: https://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/GasbyManufacturer?OpenView&Start=1&Count=1000&Expand=35#35 There will probably be more info at http://www.chainsawcollectors.se/

Good info in this old thread, linked below: https://opeforum.com/threads/404-058-chain-wanted.24984/
