@jmssaws
Well I went to the post office with the tracking number.....lady tried to tell me it was delivered and I told her it was not....least not to my box. Well come to find out the package was still at the post office. Her excuse was that there must have been a lot of packages being delivered and somehow mine was looked over....I have no clue....anyhow...Only the second time this has happened. lol Cylinder is here though! Thanks Jason!

UPS man dropped off some parts for mine today. Base gasket, needle bearing, decompression valve all here. Gotter' this far tonight. Gonna tear the carb down tomorrow and hopefully button it up.

Nice! Waiting on a new throttle cable cause the old one was binding a little, looks like there was some fraying at the bottom of the cable....tried wd40 but that wasn't enough...so...waiting on more parts. lol

I watched your vid and thought I might need a new filter. Mines a bit grungy. Gonna stop over at the dealer and see if they have one. Gotta go and order a bar for my MS271 anyway.

I use the chain brake to tighten the clutch once I get the saw running. Rev it and them hit the brake...do it a few times and good to go.

I've launched a clutch across my shop. Even after I read they'll come off.. I don't tighten mine up much I just make sure the clutch cover is on when I start em

I picked up an HD2 at the shop for mine today. I already cleaned the old one and it still looked bad. haha

My understanding is that your method isn't the best for the crank snout.

I snug it up and always start with the bar on, than lay it in wood. Never had a problem.

I've been offering some free repairs in the mtonic unit but no one has sent me one yet as soon as I get one I'll make a video of the sds for web site

Yeah, To me it's no different than hitting the brake when you want to stop the chain. lol I did forget to mention that we do this with a bar and chain On, and not a lot either...only a few times. It will self tighten in wood soon enough.

Howdy folks! She lives again! Installed a new throttle cable and now it actually idles. Old one had a little kink in it......anyhow....also installed a new HD2 filter and a 32 inch light bar. Just gotta sharpen the chain and she's ready to cut some lumber! Did get some running video so when I get that uploaded I will post. Thanks for following along on this rather poorly detailed build. After I run a few tanks through it we'll see about some small mods like a max flow and dual port. Pictures taken while letting the saw brake in this evening.

Found these on Ebay for $32 shipped to my door....had to have one.
