Guys better hurry might not last, I have 4-5 of these at home maybe I better sell them to buy some saws.

I was approached today by someone complaining about an MS250 being hard to pull over...sound familiar?

It there a boss on the cylinder casting where a compression release valve could be easily installed?

Thanks,

Mark

Not really, might have an easy start rewind and associated parts for it but that’s about all I can say for help. The cylinder is all fins all the way around.

That's what I thought from reviewing photos of saws I'd worked on earlier this year, but I had to ask.

My 250 is stock and as easy as any other small saw to pull over. Mebbe something is wrong with the recoil?

I’ve never found them hard to pull either but I have heard this as a complaint before so to some they must pull hard.

I've run into 2 that were hard to pull over, also older users.

Hard to pull over at age 40 is much different than hard to pull over at age 70...

I need guidance on an aftermarket 066.

This thing has too much compression and spark advance for a skinny 80 yo to start. Or anyone for that matter.

Even had a monster size friend try and all it does is kick back. (Yes, we drilled the bleed port on the comp release.)

Now I seem to remember something about the ignition coil having a spark retard built in to the OEM coil.
True?
Can someone confirm?

Your not wrong. Those might be 025C with primer blub. But no MS250 as I know of. Some 025 have cylinder with decom boss but not tapped. Not seeing those everyday but they do exist.
