First impression of the Stihl 241c

[CaseyForrest]

Well, fired the little guy up tonite to drop the last tree that was standing near the pool. We were hoping to be able to leave it, but it was dropping helicopters right into it... So down it came...

Anyway, pulled the 241 out to make it happen and the little bugger didn't want to start or run right. Its still under warranty so off to the dealer it will go after the holiday weekend.

Bad gas maybe? What temp was it there when you tried this? Maybe you have winter gas left over and it was hot out like 90 and it vapor locked?

Fresh E free with Klotz @ 40:1

Vapor locked... Possibly. Ill check.

I'm doubting it with fresh E free unless it was winter fuel, but was it 90 degrees out?

 

[CaseyForrest]

Close to 90. But it acted up right from the first start. Didn't want to run.

Fired it up today to finish dissecting the red maple and it ran perfectly.

Looks like you nailed that one, thanks.
