Up for sale is a 2016 Stihl 261cm.
I bought this last year (https://opeforum.com/threads/stihl-261cm.31336/) and ran a few gallons of fuel through it on a thinning project at home. I had been wanting to try this model out and couldn't resist the price. Ultimately, the handlebar and handling doesn't suit my style, especially for limbing overhead.
Saw runs great with an occasional cut-out as the fuel gets low. Included is a new OEM fuel filter as the filter could stand to be replaced. Ran at 40:1 first, then 32:1 E-free for 8-10 tanks before being shelved.
Has a 3/8" rim sprocket installed. I'm going to clean up the plastics in the next day or two.
$325/shipped to the 48 states PHO. I have 1 or 2 used 16", 3/8" bars i can sell at an additional cost.
I have the manual, bucking spike, and I believe another part for this as well, I just haven't put my hands on them yet.
I'm cleaning out the shed this week.
