Wanted to ask a question to everyone. I know they say the default carb setting is usually 1 turn out from closed for high and low speed needles. I finally popped the limiters with a 2mm hex on my 261, and then I tuned my saw last night really well. After I got back inside, I checked and my high...

Okay here we are 1.5 years later! My Stihl 261 (Manual carb) saw has 6.2 hours run-time on the clock. I have been taking great care of it. I run 32:1 HP2 oil, saw is stored inside my house in the laundry room. Kept it clean! I keep the filter and carb area spotless to avoid any dirt getting in...

Double post.

I have been adding Honda HP2 oil to Stihl MotoMix and converting it to 32:1 since my saw was brand new. It’s an amazing oil! Odorless when running because of the fuel type. My saw is a manual carb Stihl 261 I bought new last year, I pulled the muffler off yesterday and the piston and cylinder...

Thanks! The handle is really good. The shafts changes are a lot easier than my Stihl handle. Honestly, I’m definitely willing to test out another brand saw. My Stihl 261 is awesome, and it ain’t going anywhere, but I will be buying a 2nd saw at some point in time lol. So yeah, maybe a Husqvarna...

I had no idea it did that! I was just in awe over how good the actual files are. Very cool. Thanks!

I have been using a 3/16 or 4.8mm Stihl branded round file. But I finally figured out the technique. I bought a Husqvarna file kit today. It came with a guide and all that jazz, but the guide is completely useless for my Stihl branded chains since it’s a sharpening kit for Husqvarna X-Cut chains...

Okay, I can definitely feel the bur with my nail, and some are pretty big, it was quite interesting to see the burr just grow in size and never actually fall off or come off the tooth leaving a fresh clean edge. I was able to go over the whole chain and I just lightly run the round file in the...

Any advice on removing a burr from a Chainsaw chain? I can get a perfect burr to form across the entire tooth, on every tooth, but it won’t come off. It just grows in to a larger burr. I’m lost. I just to use a small flat file to remove the bur. Or Go over the whole tooth with a round file in...

Hey everyone, wanted to ask a question. I am gonna be installing a fairly large fence in my back yard after all of the tree clearing is completed. I’m gonna need an Auger to make some 2.0ft deep holes for the fence post. I saw the drill attachment for the Stihl 261 and I could essentially run my...

Gonna do some more cutting this weekend! Let’s go! I’m running out of trees. 🥲

I believe it! That must be the case if 50cc is ripping like this. 😎

That’s how I was doing with this 261. When I first got it and swapped to 32:1 mix, I kept tuning at it until it was perfect, But I did get it there, and I haven’t touched the needles since. Always two pulls. It will Pop with full choke on pull #1, and then it fires and runs on half choke pull...

Just an update! Pulled and checked the spark plug out of curiosity. I believe this is perfect looking right? Little gray with tinniest brown tint.

Thanks! It cuts so amazing. This saw has just come to life out of no where on me. This full chisel chain is also getting it done. Throws down massive wood chips! Since I am running 32:1 it feels like I can really ring its neck and not worry about it. 🙂
