20" bar for Stihl MS 250

On a stock saw, a weak to average roll out on the recoil will start the saw.

Brad Snelling had a video of his 8 year old daughter starting a Dolmar 421 with Easy Start.

 

I found that video. It does look like it is easy to start.

 

I am thinking of selling it , it is not broken in so that could be the problem it has a 16'' .325 63ga is the 3/8 lp you have the same as the chain on the ms170 or is there a different gauge ,the catalog raises more questions than answers, thanks for the reply.

 

so i should ask my dealer about a 3/8 lp .50ga is the kerf the same as .43ga ? this sounds like a great improvement im surprised he never mentioned it, i have been very happy with them over the years and always get a good deal . so ps and ps3 is the differance ?

 

In order to change the chain gauge you also will need to change the bar. Each bar is designed for a particular gauge. Your dealer may have been trying to save you the cost of a new bar.

 

thanks oldman, im aware of the bar and sprocket needing to be changed but did not know there were different low profile gauges, he did say i did not want regular 3/8 when i asked if the 261 used the same size chain as my other saws , just did not want another file size , the more i try to simplify thing the more complicated they seem to get , its my fault for not asking more questions when i bought it , im sure he would have set it up with a different bar and chain for the same price , i got a decent discount on the saw , as i said they are good to me there as i have bought a lot of stuff other than saws , i was expecting this thing to be like my old 346 husky but the bar change may be the answer .

 

It's of no real use to me so if you're interested, send me your zip code and I'll check on the shipping costs.

 

mm, thanks for the part numbers , i used the 261 yesterday i think its now on its fourth tank ( and will get more use as i sold the 391ll ) i will get a price for those parts .

thanks again
