The Ultra Rare (in USA) MS241CM

[Mastermind]

It has had no problem adding fuel. They are supposed to be able to add enough fuel for an air leak. I will get around to having it ported sooner than later.

The muffler is stainless.

I'm still waiting to get that saw on my bench. :msp_wink:

Never know Speaking of my 241 it's off to another Aussie AS member and I'm buying another one He wuz real nice to me...

Surely, and I believe a US release means that the VB factory need to tool up to make it - actually, I believe that factor have postponed US releases of new models in the US before.......

Good observation they have spent alot of marketing money stressing their US made saws.

gee i just made a cracker guess with andrew

It surprises me that a rim set-up isn't standard on a pro saw....:msp_rolleyes:

Sawtroll,

How could it be a pro saw?

You have said many times the Dolmar 420 isn't a pro saw because it comes with a spur sprocket.

017 cuts in average 15.8 seconds with new carlton chain
241 cuts in average 12.4 seconds chain was new before I dropped those four trees
261 cuts in average of 9.8 seconds carlton chain sharpened once

The spur is just a sympthom, not the cause.

The main reason with the 420 is that Dolmar doesn't define it as a pro saw, and the power too weight ratio - and that makes the use of a spur sort of OK. If they meant it is a pro saw, the model number would have been 4200.

The 241 is defined as a pro saw by Stihl, with better power to weight - and then a rim sprocket should have been standard, imo.

That wood looked a bit tough for the saws - what is it?

Honestly, I'm disappointed in the power of the 241. It would need to wake up a lot with mods for me to be happy with it. I'm hoping the 543XP isn't so lack later. I'm not trying to knock your saw either! I'm just really interested in these new small saws, and am a little disappointed. Thanks for sharing. What's your take on it? Would you buy another one?

Brad i think you better get hold of a 241C before making a call about its perforemance.

I would love to. If it would respond to mods like the 261, it would be a mean little animal!

 

[Stihlman441]

I will do a vid one day after i get some more fuel through the little fella up against the 261.

Yes, what wood? To my eyes small chips & a lot of dust.

The 241C is a deceptive little saw. In an outright drag race with a 261 in larger wood it will struggle just due to outright torque but it's not as slow as the numbers suggest. It will run rings around a 261 in general use, unless general use is just dropping it into logs which is the only area I thought my 261 had any merit. That's why I sold it

Your 261 needed some attention A good one would amaze you!

Stock vs. stock Brad. I'm not even sure if stock is a word in the Snelling dictionary?

Modded vs. modded is another story.
