U would like the heatshrink. Slide it on and put the heat gun to it. 1 1/2" with glue inside. Perfect snug fit
I will look into it, they sell that at the local Napa in bulk or by the inch. I have a new heat gun I only used once might give it a try.

Where the bends r it will crease up but just give it a minute and reheat and eventually it will level right out
What does recalibrating consist of?

Put the saw on start and crank it and dont blip the throttle for 90 sec. Cut it off , recrank, and go make 5 loaded cuts and its done
Thanks. Same procedure for the 261cm? Nice saw by the way.

Yes all the mtronics. Be sure to let it idle on choke for 90sec without touching the throttle

Andrew.......how does that new one compare to the older one? I changed up the port timing numbers a little.

Dont know yet Randy havnt given it a good run, having a week or so off cutting wood for a change.
How did you change the timing number to improve in what area ?.

What is stock vs ported compression?

Randy can it be ran without a base gasket or is it too tight?
I started off hating this saw. I couldn't get anyone to buy it from my shop, so I just added it to my fleet as the excavator/firewood processor limbing/topping saw. After a few tanks this little saw really took off. I'm going to MM it when I get back from vacation and see what transpires. I switched mine to .325 /.063 Stihl Rm chain. I didn't see much difference other than I feel I go longer between sharpening with this chain. I do so much sub 16" wood that this saw makes total sense for me. I second the comments that it is tough to bog down, which is amazing for a saw this small.

I agree! When I really leaned on it is where I was most impressed. AK do u notice if the saw self feeds better with the picco or .325?
I think it self feeds better with .325, but I also switched over when the picco was dull, so it's tainted my impression somewhat. Using that saw around my heavy equipment and the processor means dirty wood, so the .325 is better for me in this case.

Somebody's talking crap here & it ain't the tree!
In clean wood don't underestimate picco. It is FAST but unfortunately it doesn't last long in dirty wood. Personally I use Stihl 26RM or Carlton K3C because I cut in pretty abrasive conditions but I wouldn't hesitate in using picco under clean conditions. The 241C is a cracker little saw though, that's for sure.

Ya Mastermech did a test with .325, 3/8, and 3/8 picco. The picco was 3 sec. Faster in the same wood with a 261c

The picco rim is also the same diameter as an 8 tooth .325" rim so chain speed is pretty quick too. Running a 7 tooth .325" rim isn't exactly a fair comparison.

He did test with all rim sprockets on all sizes. No spurs. 7 and 8 pin on all the chain sizes. The fastest of the lot was 3/8 picco 8 pin
