Stihlmans Wood,Tree cutting ramblings...........

Ya there was a batch of um getting around for awhile,matches orange both ends anyway.

A bit of a look under the bonnet of a 241C.
Some of the saw builders may be interested in a look of the bits that make it tick.
The reason i was in there is i have found on two of them so far if you do a muff modd on them the bigger you make the exhaust port hole the bigger the throttle response lag,stutter,rich off idle gets.I lefted the lever above the needle(i think they call this the fuel pressure pop off control ) in the carb a little and has improved the throttle response some.

About twice as big as stock.

When it comes time to take the carb spit back cover off you will nead to turn,grind the out side dia of a 8mm socket to get it to fit into the cover hole.

Nice pictures Andrew. What is the little blue / black contact type switch with the red and black wires for? The one with the contactor arm on it.
Thanks for sharing:msp_thumbup:

Hi Wayne
That lever switch (in pic bellow) is closed bay the white plastic bit that is on the butterfly sharft when the choke (cold start system) is used.

In this pic you can see how it works,this is with the carb installed.
But i dont know what its purpose ?.

Mmhhh, i wonder if it somehow regulates the fuel when using full choke so as to help eliminate flooding the saw when cold ???

That split strato system looks a lot like the 261.....

I sure would like to do a woods port on one of those little buggers. :hmm3grin2orange:

yes but i think you will lose the strado like the 261 and i think most users want the fuel efficiency
that brings in this type of saw

You know how it works.

How is your 261 on fuel? I've built 11 or 12 like yours, but never have been able to compare how they stack up to a stocker on fuel.

gday randy when i first got it i thought it was a drunken sailor but ya gotta remember one thing

it's got a small tank .

i can cut a meter of wood with a tank and thats what it takes with a 460 but it's quicker so i can't complain

I know people may think I've turned into a tofu munching, pillow biting, latte sipping female but having a nicely performing, quiet, stock saw to use amongst a fleet of growling, dirt kicking, ported beasts is actually nice on occasion.
Can't believe I said that. Tofu anyone?

I understand what you are saying Matt.

Sorry guys. My hormone replacement therapy got a bit out of whack and I took an extra oestrogen pill by accident
Seriously though I'd love to see a 241C modified but it is such a good saw stock that it won't be mine being modded. Not once have I though to myself "this thing could do with more balls"
I remember a few years ago when I first got my ported 7900 and didn't use my stocky for a while. When my ported one had issues (turned out to be simply a blocked pre filter) I started using my stock 7900 again. I had forgotten just how good a stock 7900 is...
