I tune my own 2 cycles all the time. That’s a given plus a muff mod.
I think if some people knew how to use the easy start system they might like it. Many just like to pull it like it was a conventional starter. I just got done changing one over from the easy start and I'm not sure it's an improvement. Not my saw though, I'll see what the customer thinks..
Customer? Omg, someone is paying money to swap over? Oh well it's their cash.
That’s the impression I first got from reviewing it around here and the web. Some broken parts as well which could be due to using it as a regular pull. While it doesn’t bother me and I know how the system works I’m not willing to modify it.
get into rim drive. Genuine Stihl for the mini spline sprockets and after market for the generic small spline. Then use a narrow kerf .325 (preferably the 23rspro) or the 63picco chain. You can also get 6 tooth picco sprocket as well as the Stihl 7 on the spline one.
That’s a bummy sonny boy. Always risky buying online. I remember taking down a ‘79 Poulan S25cva in lime green with the magnesium case. What a doozy! Sometimes best to cut losses and move on.
Some people don't like to order parts online. The 251 is easy to change, others not so easy.
You might want to belay the muffler mod as the carb may not be able to supply sufficient fuel even with the limiters off. 3/4t of the "H" screw makes very little difference. It also has a limited coil making tuning more difficult.
