Let’s make the ms201c party

[Lightning Performance]

So good! Any advice for me on some baseline numbers to try out?

Watch your case pressure time. Kill that and you kill these 35cc little saws.

Never used of these or a T model.

What length bar will it pull in stock trim for hard woods?

Normal .325 or 3/8s low pro?

14" or 16" works well on these tiny saws.

Good buy on my local craigslist.

His personal saw.
You should see the one in the work truck

I want a rear handle 201 without the primer and easy start.

Is that possible in the US

 

[dustinwilt68]

Pretty sure the primer is standard, not sure on the easy start but I would also prefer mine without it. Mine is on backorder dealer told me a few weeks probably.

Can the starter just be swapped (parts or the whole thing)? And just remove the primer?

I have a 201t I need to get working on, soon hopefully after I finish a few others. I'm going to try for lots of compression on the 201t. Any recommended timing numbers on the 201t IF you could machine the base of the cylinder? They have good enough torque with a BGD, so I don't think the exhaust needs any more lowering. I guess I should direct some fuel mix into the strato ports to help make a richer mixture if I go with high compression?

 

[dustinwilt68]

Careful, I know without a BG squish was like .010 little to tight. And the 2019 vs 2020 they changed the piston from flat to domed. Squish was the same oddly

Whats not to like about he easy start?

Never seen or used one, just curious.

I think it's just some guy's pull them over like a normal pull start and that bust the spring in them. Other than that if you use them correctly they work fine especially if someone has any kind of shoulder injuries. I'm talking the Stihl easy start some of the other brands IMHO are crap.
Edit- I forgot to add the main reason they are NOT manly lol

They are really weird. By the time you have the rope pulled out, and notice it didn't turn past the compression, and are about to release for another pull, it all of a sudden starts to turn over. There's like a 1 second delay it seems like. Pull, wait, then it turns over, then pull again and wait...

I’ve never let any mechanical challenge which opposed me ever confound me but ez start Stihls still don’t add up. Never start without a pop so I’ve wallered out a couple and with negative effects on the shoulder tissue so what’t the point?

I picked up mine today!

Nice. My next saw for sure.

Dead Sexy I’d say.

Would cutting this back point off help it borecut?

Mine will pull 16" 3/8 LP like a train with zero issue - has more jam than my ms241 i think now

Interesting that yours has the fuel bubble on the side - is that an update to the 201 line?

Really? That should say something for how strong the 201 is. Is the 241 stock?

Yes stock 241 - after wcs intake / thinner base gasket / exhaust the 241 has a decent edge over the 201 however

Well, I ran the first tank of fuel thru it just now and I like it. If you’re familiar with the 201 it runs just like you’d expect. The design pulls very strong for a 35cc saw, “T” handle or rear.
I think one of the coolest features is the Stihl Easy Start. My wife could operate this saw. The directions tell you to give the starter grip a “slow and steady” pull if you have the Easy Start feature. If you do that you can feel a spring winding up adding a little tension to the pull as you progress then , rrruppp!
It releases and the engine rotates a few revolutions. If you want to snatch it like you’re used to that’s fine, just feels different. It’s coolest once the engine has been warmed up. It’s like you’re just gently pulling on the handle and the engine starts unexpectedly. Not bad unexpectedly, just surprising how easy it is. I’m going to let my wife start and use this saw and if she likes it get her an MS180 or something that has the Easy Start feature. Anyway, cool as heck saw. Gonna run it some more later today.
