Mastermind Revisits The MS261CM Type II

[Mastermind]

Randy do these US built 261's look any different inside than the German Built 261 Arctic you did for Marc?

Not that I noticed Gary. I did Marc's alongside a couple others.....looked the same to me.

Stihl boys made them weird front handle bar for handicapped people.

Actually, they discovered Stihl operators had a forehand free since we weren't spanking our monkey.

Damn, 2 of the 3, and somehow they managed to get the hard one correct!?

First time I've seen a 261 jug Randy, Thanks!!!

Isn't it unusual for Stihl to have four separate lower transfer ports?

Also, you don't gut the stratos on these like you do the 241s, or am I wrong on that?

Hard to beat these T-II MS261's in 50cc class, quality saws. My OE really responded to gutting the strato, is this part of the MM recipe? Fanks 4 sharing this stuff with us.

The piece of aluminum has a small hole drilled in it. The live center is in that hole. This allows the top of the jug to move when I bump it around while indicating the mandrel. Once all runout is eliminated, I tighten the tailstock a bit more, then cut the base.

The 261, 362, and 441 are all similar.

I've done it both ways.....I would rather not gut them.

Not gutting these.

Sounds easy enough.

 

[MustangMike]

OK, guess I've mostly seen 461s and 661s, which look a lot different.

 

[Deets066]

Sounds easy but getting 0.000 runout is a beeeotch
