don’t forget to install the air filter
This guy is the Gordon Ramsay of stihl world 🤣
I own an MS261C. Really enjoy it too. I’ve put a lot of hard hours on that thing. Clearing storm downed trees, bucking firewood for side work, slabbing logs of various hardwood species, even blocking out carvings right down to where I can take my angle grinder and go from there!
Very versatile saw.
I’ve never ran anything other than Motomix. I don’t run my saw for my career so the weekends and evenings throughout the week here and there are when I use it.
Motomix lasts so much longer. I find a gallon of Motomix lasting me more than several months at the rate that I cut.
Haven’t had a single issue with my saw, period. Not one!
Thank you very much for the awesome video on the ms 261
Please(anyone), what his the best starting procedure for a warm MS 261 saw? I usually end up flooding it. It’s a new saw.
Based sales rep.
great video, what length cutting bar is put on this saw? 50cm?
hi josh I hope you are well could you please do a video on the stihl ms151t, ms194t and ms201t
Price please
Thank you so much for an excellent explanation of how to use my STIHL chainsaw. Cheers from Sydney Australia
very good video, thank you
I’ve had one for a couple years. Not bad for a little guy.
Do these have gas vent tube? And where the heck is it located?
Wow, you nailed it!!
Excellent presentation! Way to go! I have a MS261 CQ
Excellent video, only complaint is the starting sequence should have started the saw. PPE is extremely important. I have seen many saws tested or listed for sale where operator doesn’t wear safety glasses, has shorts on, or wears open toe shoes. This is a saw folks, and mistakes happen fast. Where your PPE. I often wear my chaps as well. Yes they are a little bulky, yes in summer they are hot, but that saw chain doesn’t know difference between wood and your legs, wear at least heavy pants with the other PPE equipment. Again , excellent video, and it’s obviously that the demo person isn’t doing this for first time, he is knowledgeable and excellent as well
There is a channel redd flag works on saws and that hp ultra is jacking up exhaust port side of the piston… I have 7 saws and won’t be running that caster crap anymore
Great video, however the starting procedure is improper for a “C” series saw. It needs to be calibrated as outlined in the manual.
"You Own a 261" ? I wish. If I did, I certianly wouldn’t run HP Ultra in it that’s for sure. Other than that, great video.
Flip Flops are great for chainsaw work!
All you’ve done is describe the obvious by giving a “reader’s digest” version of the saw’s manual. So stupid. You give yourself a bad name by enticing “clicks” with the video description, but then just give a bland sales pitch.
I have two 261 cms.
One runs an 18 inch full chisel chain. The other is set up with a 24 in bar and foll chisel skip.
Both saws have cut upwards of 250 face cord and are super runners.
I pulled the top end on one saw and ported it and the performance was greatly improved.
I’d recommend this to anyone seeking a smaller sized pro quality tool.
If you have any level of experience toss that low kickback chain that stihl supplies and you will cut faster and there will be less wear on the saw.
thanks for the video. Questions: The MS362, AND 261 have similar control module / fuel solenoid issues, in that, when the original black solenoid fails (It is designed to fail between 100, and 200 hours (Thanks Stihl), and only the white solenoid is available, what control module should be used? I started with a 4705 A, I was told by Stihl that a 4706 would work, and it didn’t, then I used a 4705B, and a white solenoid, (And an orange filter, an important but subtle change that one is supposed to have infused knowledge about I guess). It works for now. More importantly where can we find the information about such issues, the Stihl phone customer service folks rarely know the answers to such questions, , , , and the bigger saws also have issues with change overs, so it would be a million questions for every saw, and different reset procedures with different control module / solenoid combinations So here I sit, with an $800 saw, and another 250 into the saw (It has less than 150 hours on it), which I no longer trust. Which calibration or reset procedure does one follow when these parts are changed ?
Accidents usually occur at the end of the day when you’re really really tired. I’ve learned, over the yrs to quit a hour before that happens. There’s always a tomorrow.
I usually get 2 tanks of fuel for every tank of bar oil, in ALL of my chainsaws. Idk is that just me ??
Very good saw with reasonable power also. The weight is nice with very good balance. Good demo on the saw.
No flip flops?? Tell that to the crews in Indonesia…they won’t listen to a word you say. I’ve seen them practically naked trimming and removing trees…no safety harnesses, thread for ropes, no safety gear whatsoever, free climbing; insane, however…no injuries.
Dirt and debri have entered your cylinder.
Certainly a peppy little saw 💪💯
HP ultra sucks, there are better synthetic oils out there. The carbon deposits with that oil even when running the best fuel, is crazy. Hard pass, just because its "bio degradable when spilled", that doesnt cut it when your piston gets scored to crap before 1000 hours of work instead of 3000+
Someone told me this saw has a metal body, is that true?
Great introduction Carl !
Very good info…thanks
I run saws I have run them since 14 I wore chaps then while working I dropped due to heat stroke I will never wear them again. If I have to I wear arborist pants lighter comfortable and they breath a lot better they do cost half what a good pro saw cost though
I like this saw.
What sword do You use, 40 cm / 45cm ??
I own the MS 211 / 35cm sword and the MS 251/ 40cm sword..👍👍
Greetings from Germany
Piet
That was awesome, thanks! 👍🏼😎😀 I want one! What length bar is on that one? I noticed Stihl recommends a 16” bar. Do they all ship to dealers with a 16”? I want a 20” when I get one. I have a 170 -16”, 250 -18” and I’d love a 261 with a 20”. I do understand I can add one, just wondering how they arrive default from Stihl, thanks! 👍🏼😎

Great saw features demo, thanks for the info… keep up the good work.
