I'm looking for top end kits for my Stihl MS261 C-M, which was purchased 10/17. Apparently the cylinder is different (i.e.,has slanted fins) from that in older MS261. The kits available on HL Supply are all for replacement of Stihl part #1141-020-1200. I called HL Supply explaining my situation. The representative said he didn't know if their kits work on the C-M or older version of the 261. Can anyone with a C-M give me the Stihl part# for the cylinder?

The newer slanted fin cylinder has part no. 1141 020 1230. This cylinder can`t be used with the previous version of the chainsaw.

Thanks. I dropped by Stihl dealer and asked for the part number. He brought up the parts diagram and said there are 3 cylinders listed for the 261 and he would need to see my saw to tell which was appropriate. I looked at the diagram and pointed to the one with the slanted fins and asked for the part #, which as you state is .....1230.
I believe the other 2 cylinders are......1200 (old model) and ......1202 (old model without compression release).

I did a Google search using the correct part# for the MS261 C-M cylinder and at this point there does not appear to be an aftermarket product available.
