[CR500]

Acceleration of this saw can cause injury.....

Sweet video david. Thanks for posting.

So whats the big deal with the 241? We can't get it here in the states? *I'll apologize for not seeing this answer if its in this thread somewhere already*

Keep watching this thread.
They are the smallest pro saw with MTronic auto tune carb.

I'll be getting some good knot free wood for fair comparison videos Andrew......thanks for your patience my friend.

I was really hoping to have both saws here before I tore into either........but that may not be possible.

Thanks for posting those pictures and video David. I'm so slammed with saw work it's not funny. I was contacted this morning about 3 more and those guys said they were ok with a month or more waiting list........it's an honor that any of you guys would allow me to work on a saw for you, let alone be willing to wait.

I'll get started with some videos on this 241 as soon as it stops raining. I want to do some video comparisons. First stock, then with a muffler mod, then fully ported. That way we can see how much is gained in each step....and how the m-tronic system compensates for those changes.

I have the Husky software for the Autotunes.......right now I'm wishing I had the Stihl version.

I am sure someone here can hook you up with the software. If you need any special cables made up or anything of the sort, let me know and I will see what I got.

Stihl has a clamp on anyone but dealers owning their stuff.......hell I doubt I could even find a dealer that has that software.....

I've gotten letters from their lawyers before......the Stihl Gestapo ain't playing. :msp_wink:

Maybe you just need to try a different dealer?

My local guy says this is the best thing he has ever used to work on Stihls.

Stihl m-tronic update tool version 2.0.7

That's my biggest gripe about Stihl equipment. Husky, Echo, Poulan, anyone else I can look up parts on line and make it easier for me to ensure I get the right part at a local dealer. Stihl keeps all of that secret info in the trusty vault....

Harley did it to a program for working on fuel maps for Buells. They told everyone that it would ruin the computer and void the factory warranty etc etc until they just made a deal with the software developer and he pull it off the net. Three days after they announced the end of Buell production, they sent a memo to dealers recommending they use this program to fix drive-ability issues! :mad2:

If a person buys the machine.. they should be able to see parts break downs and such.


Anyways.. end rant and back on topic!

I just got back from Nashville......my wife had to see her heart doctor. She doesn't drive anymore. (epilepsy)

The wind is blowing a storm in here......I hope it blows over without any damage. :msp_sad:
