Ms 440 would not run. Makes sense why

Sure the rounds were heavy, but I just wanted to make some noodles! Win, win!

Good fire starter

Hustihl; I'll see if I have pics of 260. It's pretty straight forward. Very little mods to make fit. Only thing I never finished was the choke lever.

I just pop off the cover, use a screwdriver and move choke lever that way until saw starts.

I'll take pics tomorrow if I can.

That's a pretty cool looking saw. I don't think you can even get them in North America. I've got a 038 mag and a 038 super and I love them both. I'd love to be able to try out the ms380 or ms381 someday

Not available in the US doesn't meet EPA standards for the US bulletproof saw I love it never had a issue with it 1 new plug in 3 years

Maybe we could see a video of the ms381 at work? I'm curious how it compares to the ms441.
I don't have a ms441. I'm wondering what the difference would be since both saws are about 70cc.

+1, having had 2 038s's. one still here

Would love to see that 381 cut!

 

[Dieselshawn]

Huskihl; here's some pics of the 260 with 044 carb...

I used an 038 intake boot, 046 parts saw carb studs, modified the air filter to allow more flow, removed choke assembly, enlarged openings to make boot and filter fit the larger throat.

I had a ms441cm 20" as well bought them both at the same time to be honest I preferred the 381 yes the AV isn't spring mounted and no mtronic but there is just something about the 381 that I like Iam not 100% sold on mtronic even though I have a mastermind 661cm the cuts like the power of piss(I still really love my 660 I won't ever part with that )

 

[VinceGU05]

Maybe you should have tried a ported 441cm. Gave mine a good belting today noodling up a trailer load. I had a couple of new to me 044's to try as well but the 441 smoked them big time.

Going on holidays next weekend a little hard to get out with the fire danger hitting extreme not saws allowed at the moment due to sparks from exhaust hopefully when I get back a will get a video done on the MS 381

Well the free want add I placed for old chainsaws keeps paying off. A guy contacted me to see if I'd be interested in a old stihl. I ask him to send me a few photos. It looked good so we talked price and he said how about 40.00 dollars. Well I met up with him and brought it home.
This is a Top handle S-10 around 1967. I replaced the seals, rebuilt the carb and added a bucking spike. I can't believe the paint held up so good. Also he gave me a old Stihl sharpening guide with it. The bar is a windsor.

Wow. That S10 has not seen a lot of action. Great piece to add to your collection.

 

[295 tramp]

Thanks It's going to fit in well with my collection of 1106, 1107, 1108 series saws
