After further research, seems like the newest 2020 261/261c's have not only the v3.0 mtronics but a different piston. Idk, I think all versions...
As far as I know, the 2nd gen and "3rd gen" are physically identical. Just updated mtronics....correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, gen 1 261/261c is good, but the gen 2 261/261c better by a good margin....my question revolves around the mtronics ....the v2.0 versus v3.0....
Yup....thinking this is a non-issue. Move on and cut some darn wood!
FWIW, I do think the gen 2 261/261c was/is a good upgrade from the original 261.
Im not looking to buy a new saw, the v3.0 whatsoever btw. Just wondering if the new 3.0 module would be worth swapping in for the 2.0?
Been awhile since i've posted.....anyways, i have a 3/2017 manufactured 261c that is gen 2 261/261c. The question I have is would a guy want to...
Great read here, sorry no suggestions but hedge is saying you can port a 79cc OEM, (effectively by good builders) whereas the AF 84cc not so...
+1 Also after reading a lot of forum posts for the last couple years, I wouldn't hesitate to start right of the bat modding the muffler for any...
A good sized red oak stub I got another round off of, after looking at the stump again. The block is sitting on the left. Probably about a good...
Yep, I agree on the air filter setup!
Any chance to throw in a good 562xp in the mix too? A lot of great husky/jonsered saws to chose from and there is no doubt everyone likes a stihl...
Alright! Ya I will be waiting for the update and I agree with .325/261 and 3/8 on the 362. On a side note I'm in the minority I think, in that I...
Thanks fot the welcome, but ya if you want my opinion, between those two I'd keep the 044. Not because its a stihl, but because what I read/know...
Yea a masterminded 461 would be a good one I think. Thanks for the replies everyone, good to be here. Right now I'm gonna have to sit on the...
Yes I ran 361's at work and then bought one for myself, all stock, not even a muff mod and I agree with you they are good but not awesome IMO....
Good info. Thanks
BTW personally I could get away with one good 60cc saw modded of course:D but that's not really what I want....:p
Thanks for the welcome....yes right now I have a masterminded 261c. Very happy with it:thumbs: My old stock 361 has nothing on this saw in my...
Hey new member, first post. For conversation sake(no cad funds right now) how would a ported 261c stack up against a muff modded 362c? Say the...
