    Can't only one has spark I'm trying to find a coil to fit
    Parts are nla.
    There was a alpina dealership near me in the 90s
    They sold alpina trimmers/brush cutters and mini Mac clones and Alpina pro-38-40-45-55-540i-600-700-800
    I'd love to find a 700 or 800 they were very strong 70 and 80cc saws for their time I cut timber with them.
    My friend worked at the dealership he said the reason they quit selling them was
    Alpina required a yearly order to restock any parts that included warranty work.
    They were very successful the first year
    And made a huge order to
    Make sure they had spares for many years.
    Well the container was stopped at the port in Italy
    And a lot of drugs were found the container was seized and the dealership dropped them and sold efco.
    My friend said a guy that worked there stole one or two of each model lol
    He passed away recently no idea what happened to all those saws.

    I hogged out the original outlet a while back wanted to see if a gill would help. Helps in the cut, this saw is a absolute dog without opening the muffler.

    This mod really improved performance by 20 to 30%. Might see what I can fetch on marketplace.

    I think you would have better results selling if the spikes were to take up half the bar.

    Used the 550 to dismember a blowdown before I started sawin' em down.
    The redmax was just there because I left it in the pickup after the last job.

    Too bad you sold that 241 to walt for next to nothing! This 251/61 hybrid cuts. I am itching to put a few more gills on the muffler. I just need to find out how many gills a carp has... For performance reasons.

    Yeah, I haven't been running it much on all the oak I've been cutting, partially because it needs a tune and I don't have the special tool required..... guess I just need to do the adjuster screw mod so I can use a normal screwdriver.

    Nice! Better hop on it quick. They apparently stopped selling the 241 in the USA. God speed son.

    I recommend the tool. So convenient. Cheap on the 'zon. Splined is what it reads in the description.
