Newest addition 241c-m

[SawTroll]

be warned, 8t picco is even larger than regular 8t .375. as the LP drivers are longer. It makes some serious chain speed. I have an NOS 16" 3003 mount picco bar that I ran on a ported 260 for awhile with a loop of PS and an 8t picco rim...Can you say chain stretch lol cut like an angry beaver but was really hard on the chain.

The rim is larger, but that is to compensate for the lower chassis on the Picco chain, and make the diameter at the rivets the same.

Max chain speed will be the same as for regular 3/8x8.

The pitch is the same .366" or so for both 3/8" chain types.

It may be niko , id like to try it anyway to satisfy my own curiousity.

Nothing wrong with that - and you may have some fun with it!

 

[AKDoug]

Ak is the coil 2 stage that retards the timing for easier starts?

That I don't know. I didn't pay that much attention in class.

Who all wants to go back to carb vehicles with manual shift?

That sounds great!

 

[KG441c]

Go for it!! Lol! Ill stick with automatics and efi

 

[MustangMike]

I still like a stick shift (in the Mustang, it gives me more control), but I don't miss the motor being hard to start in the winter, pumping the gas pedal, etc.

I'll take the EFI, variable cam timing, etc. I may not be able to work on it, but it has gone 110,000 miles w/o needing any work. (one idler pulley failed, that is it).

I agree on a sports car

Got a man from Cork coming up to Waterford tomorrow. He has a 372xp that needs porting. He also has a 241CM with him in trade for the work. It has a few fins broken off the top of the cylinder. So I am curious to see how long it will last. I'll do an MM, then a port job(without lathe work or squish mods). She will be spending the next few months brashing Rhododendron, and doing small jobs on a nearly daily basis.

 

[KG441c]

I would consider the lathe work the most important part? The compression bump? I think this little saw will last alot longer than u think especially mixed with good oil @32to1

 

[KenJax Tree]

What oil are you using now Keith? Did you settle on one?

 

[KG441c]

Sunoco 110/ non ethanol 87 mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with Motul 800t

Nah, she doesn't need to be too high strung. A simple port job and MM should wake her up enough so I am not cursing the EPA. Not sure I want any more compression on a saw with broken fins, anyways. Simple porting and MM should help her run cooler. I'll run her a bit with just an MM and see how I like it. If I need more grunt, she'll be ported. My current small job saw is the estate's MS181. That thing has me greatly missing my modded 330EVL! So, basically, this saw doesn't have to live up to much, power-wise. It just has to last. And I intend to torture test it since it is only costing me a port job and some beer. She'll be run at 32:1. All my saws are.

 

[KG441c]

Mine is just muffler modded and I can bury the 18" bar with ps chain no problem

 

[SAWMIKAZE]

I dont think a 241 needs a lot to run well , just with the muffler opened up i am more than happy with mine , the throttle response is amazing

Still using 91 E free with Lucas semi-synthetic 32:1....yeah boring i know but it works

First day on the job - firewood duty:

Loads of grunt, great fuel economy, impressed so far. Gonna go and get a larger B&C.

 

[KG441c]

I have the 18" bar with the ps chain but cant help but think the16 or 18" bar .325 will probably stay sharp longer with some stihl semi chisel rm chain

If you want semi chisel picco get some Stihl PM

 

[KG441c]

Do they make it in semi chisel yellow link or is it all green?
