Got my 241.

Pretty sweet deal I'd say. Is it possible that the bar is heat treated like that from Stihl? I'm not a Stihl guy but I recently acquired a few and the bars kinda look like that with blue on the edges.

 

I will give you the you suck award with a congratulations and

 

Yup, #Bradsux

Nice snag

 

All the vehicles I have ever owned have been 100% factory and I haven’t had any real problems with them. Might not be the fastest but they have been reliable.. I have also seen things so “modified” that you couldn’t count on it to get you around the block. I can’t blame a fella.

 

Can't argue that...and I'm sure there are some less than reliable modded saws out there, but not the ones with xtra sausage!

 

I usually looks like that from worn ones I've seen. Paint should have not worn off edges yet. Mustve been forcing the saw.

 

I can see your point BUT it depends on who is doing modifications; I would like a Yenko Chevy, a Shelby Ford or a Mastermind or XS anything…

 

Good luck with the saw, Brad.

CAD is alive and well!

 

Just out of curiosity, do you have one?

 

I don't yet...my brother has several.

Do yourself a favor and get a new orange Stihl fuel filter in that saw before it gets a clogged up solenoid for the Mtronic carb. The first gens were problematic and it sounds like, from what I've read and been told by guys in the know, it was the filter letting to much debris through that a standard carb wouldn't have issues with.

 

Not yet but if I find a Yenko or Shelby in my limited budget I will post

 

How would i know what generation this saw is? What year did Stihl stop selling them in the US?

 

Its a first gen. They all were that were sold here. It should have a black solenoid if it's original. If its green or white its been replaced.

 

Is the orange FF come in a basic tune up kit OEM? Or should I just order one online?

 

We have 4, 2 Stihls...2 Echos

 

Who?

 

Congrats Brad! I hope this re ignites your passion for Stihl collecting

 

What?

 

Dealer shoud have them single or in a kit with a new solenoid.
