Considering how much I LOVE my MS261 with a 16" bar on it for most of the cutting I do, I figured it was best to have a backup. I've been looking for months for an inexpensive used one, I finally found one. Its a M-tronic version, which I'm still undecided about. So I finally have two MS261's!!! One for each arm! RRooaaarrrrr!
I recently bought an Mtronic 261c to replace my "carb" 261. (it was supposed to be Mtronic but wasnt, long story) Both saws pictured are 261's. Are you sure one is Mtronic? Should be 261c on the pull cover.
You guys motivated me to get out a little between the maple sap drops ! Been itching to try the Echo cs-520 that I just got back ! I forgot what a great saw this was . A little downed sugar maple to make the day sweet !
Yes, the one in the front has the 4 position regular carburetor markings on the switch and the one in the back has the M-tronic 3 position switch.
My first 261 is not Mtronic. one i just got is. First was supposed to be Mtronic, but dirt cheap so i kept it. Wanna buy the extra? FHC discount! EDIT: i was questioning his saws. Looks like both are carb model...261.
Guys, there is nothing wrong the carbed 261's....they are very strong and good little saws. Just my opinion. Sent from my SM-G930VL using Tapatalk
