I have a chance to buy a week old MS271 that was straight gassed on the first tank.
My question is are these worth fixing up? Are they still clam shell designed?
I would need a new piston and cylinder. Are the new cylinders expensive? Is it worth it to part out the saw? I took a look at it from the outside. Is it brand new. I haven't had a chance to look at it with the cylinder off yet.
Any help appreciated.

A new piston assy. is only $35 from the Stihl dealer. Likely that is all you would need.

Is there any possibility that this 271 chassis will accept a bigger jug? Like a 291 or 391?
Just thinking all if this through here.

Iirc the 271 and 291 same chassis. 311 and 391 share the same chassis.

So go big or go home lol.

The 27 is built on the 29 Chasis? I always thought it was on its own as it was a design change that Stihl decided not to go with?

I’d be willing to bet they’re the same. Like 90 percent. The relatives run stihls. One has a 290 other a 291. 291 is a different critter than the other. I’d doubt they offered 5 million different chassis on that style of saw. Pretty sure the newer 1 is gonna be the same. Like a husky 455 and 460. Just for the friendly banter a 455 rancher will eat a 290 farm boss lunch.

I don't have the saw yet. But I am not sure if the jug is even any good. I saw the saw. It is like brand spanking new on the outside. Lol
Hopefully I can score this for less than $40. [emoji106]
No bar or chain. PHO

Trying to transfer the ms270/ms290 model compatabilty, to the MS271/291 models, doesn't work, as almost all of the other model series.
