Snellerized Saws Meets the Stihl MS261C II

[stihlaficionado]

Embrace it my friend, embrace it!

After 12 or so Bad Braderized saws, I'm just a novice

My wife was just reading this forum on my phone over my shoulder. She said "how many chainsaws do you even have"?!?!? I said well three but I'm selling one, she said "3 is too many". I had to throw some of you guys under the bus and tell her some guys have 50 or more saw...

Looks interesting. Where do you think all the weight savings came from?

Clutch cover and redesigned cooling fins on the jug. Brad since your tearing it apart when you have the jug apart weight it. I have a type I jug here I can weight.

I think all the screws are aluminum too

I was told they weren't but I could be wrong

I didn't like that idea when I read it
I think it would have stretching problems over time
Brad will set the books straight!

I don't know, but I'll be looking as I tear it down.

I'll try to remember to do that. Before or after I put it on a diet

Hopefully i can put this thing back together when I'm done porting it!

Just read a update from Stihl at my dealer about the aluminum screws that are used to reduce weight in these new version saws
They are not to be reused only replace
They don't give any illustrations of there locations
There telling the dealers to start stocking these screws
Doesn't sound like they used a lot of them but they are in there some where

I'll hopefully be tearing into this saw tomorrow or Saturday.

Curious as to see what you can extract out of it brad

 

[blsnelling]

I'm curious if these are some kind of torque to yield bolts. I'd be extremely surprised if they're a different thread. If nothing else, I can put it back together with steel bolts until new ones can be procured.

 

[hedge hog]

The torque specs are in different measurement and have to be converted
My dealer said the same thing about replace with metal if there the same threads
Hope this gives you heads up!

I'll be sure to re-calibrate my wrist when going back together with this one
