You are going to love that saw. If you want to really have some fun send it to brad snelling. My 241 has 195 lb. of comp. & runs 325 full chisel. I call it " The little monster". That will put a smile on your face.
That's a really nice saw Rory. I'd like to have one myself.
Im with ya , im finding more and more use for 40/60cc combo

Yes-- and it took 30 tanks to reach full potential. And it resides in the NOS Stihl case I bought from you! Thanks again.
Gosh I totally forgot about that.

A good deed on your part will not be forgotten on my part. I wish you could run my 241-- it's one of my go 2 saws. 1/3 of every tree I cut is done with the 241. After Brad did his magic it really came alive. It's sure easier on my shoulders and back.
Since there seem to be a few 241 owners here, I was wondering if anyone has handled one of these and a Dolmar PS 421. I'm interested in picking up a saw in this size range and was wondering how they compare in real life. None of my local Stihl dealers have any 241s so I'd have to order one and I don't really have a local Dolmar dealer to compare myself. I've read good things on the Dolmar but have never owned that brand.
I don't mind spending the extra money for the Stihl but was just wondering from a user's point of view if there is a noticeable performance gap. The usage would be mostly limbing and small bucking for firewood.

I love my Dolmar 421 but i've never held a 241 and im just not a fan of how Stihl saws feel so i can't compare them, i'm not sure if the 241 is really worth $250 more. In real life the 421 is .5 oz. heavier.

The mtronics alone is worth 250 imo

Yeah MTronic and AutoTune is nice and i like it on my 550 and 562 but i wouldn't necessarily pay that much extra just to have it.

No comparison. Carbs to me idle one way one time one way another time cut rich or lean in this size wood or that way in that size wood? Mtronics adjust perfect for every situation with no thinking on the operators part. Lets me think about sharpening chain and other things like safety instead of tuning a saw

I've never had the wood lean or richen my tune and rarely touch my idle, but none of mine are spot on perfectly tweaked i tune a little rich.

If u 4 stroke slightly out of the cut and cleans up in say 4" wood u will no doubt be lean in 20" wood?

U have to retune for big wood especially if u r already lean in small wood?
