Does anyone know what the MSRP on the Ms201c model? Rear handle. Can only find prices on the newer C-M. Thanks in advance.
Got a part number and a price on that updated coil? Let me know.Around here (Michigan), the 201C-M is about $750. Are you thinking 201c is a non-Mtronic? The early 201, which I have, has a standard carb, & it does not have a "c" on it. All of the more recent models are Mtronic. FWIW, I was recently (last year) looking to buy a 241. Wanting to see how it stacked up against my 201, I took it to the dealership, & we ran the two side by side. The dealer's comment about the 201 was, "That thing is hauling ass!" The 241 was a little faster, but not by much! I also have a rear handled 200 (see one of the earlier posts). Since that post, I have replaced the original coil on the 201 (limited to 13,000 RPM) with the upgraded one (limited to 14,00RPM), & it is much easier to tune. The 200 is tuned to 14,300RPM where it safely 4 strokes & cuts like a maniac, but the 201 still outcuts it!! I haven't run the Mtronic 201, but that system eliminates the limited coil nonsense. Sure, there are lots of less expensive saws, most of them in the 50cc category, that are much more versatile, but the 200 & 201 are specialty machines which are so much easier to handle, & they pretty well speak for themselves. Tony Rumore has both, along with a whole arsenal of others ranging from 50-over 90cc, most notably the 661. He comments that, if he needs more saw than a 200 or 201, he goes right to the 661! I really appreciate both of my "little guys". If I had to choose between the two, I would likely keep the 201. A couple of years ago at a GTG, one of the guys who has several great running saws including a Masterminded Dolmar 7900 & Husky 346, ran one of my little ones. His comment was, "Now that was really fun!"
