Donny I have a 009l topper starts great runs good. But does not want to restart when its hot. Would this be a module issue? I have opened the gas etc does not seem to be a air lock. Any repopes that you would suggest to replace with?
One of the best chainsaw reviewers I have seen
2cyclemix we figured out it is the coil when it gets hot. I will have to source a coil out for it
Hi all, as always Australia will pay a premium price for the same product AUD$1,359.00 as of Dec 2015. But when converted it should be with current exchange rates $763.17 so the additional $595.83 is for the love of it. End of vent.

Great review. Just curious, is that white pull cord mesh cover on the side plastic or aluminum?
Thanks, Murray
Don, how about a review on either the Stihl MS 660 or 661? Thanks. Keep up the interesting videos.
Hi dony im just looking at buying a new ground saw . but im afraid of buying problems I don’t like the idea of these new electronic machines they say they can put them on a computer like your car and that’s been expensive to me over the years with cars any thing you recommend good old faithful’s and all THANKS
Stihl has nothing on Husky Auto, Stihls are a joke.
Thanks Donny I am trying to decide on a 241vs a261. Around the camp for fire wood but also on the quad for clearing trails
Just bought a MS271 18inch Jan 30th 2015 in Aurora Indiana at Zimmer Tractor for $409.00 plus tax .. Nice Saw To …
No carb adjustment?!
Love those new screws on the cover. And the nut on the clutch cover is a good idea, too.
this or the ms311?
Looks like a great saw. Carries a €700 price tag here, so you’d expect it to be pretty good for that price.
Nice chainsaw donyboy73 but the saw being at 43cc stihl didn’t have to add the decompression valve.
Id like to see a review of a MS361 with a 24″/25″ bar, if you haven’t reviewed one already.
I think I`m going to get one of these.
in Ireland 750 euro about 900 us dollars rip off ireland
Review on ms 261
The price for this saw in Slovakia is approx…795 Canadian USD 🙁
Excellent review donyboy73. It will be the saw on my 2015 list! MS241 C-M
Hi, these are $1295.00 here in New Zealand new, at today’s rates that is $1124 Canadian.
$549.95 saginaw Michigan USA
Norwegian price for MS 241C-M is between 6075 -> 7190,- Nkr.
As of 26 june 2015, that is equivalent to 775 -> 918,- US$ or 692 -> 819,- Euros.
Not sure if there is a significant difference between the C and the C-M model though.
650 in usa
nice saw don.when are you going to get one?? a nice review would on a ms660 or 661 if u can.
Dony,
Great video !!!
Do you have any trouble shooting hints for this electronic carb?
I bougt my self a Stihl MS181 C with a 35 cm (14 inch ) bar and inkluded extra gallon of promix and chainoil and it cost me 409,84$ in total and thats inkl. the Tax. Havent sen a rewue of that caind of machine for home use. Best whishes hakan from Sweden.
2015 Stihl MS241C with 35cms bar in Spain costs 750€; which is more than there in US or Canada, I think…
had a few bad experiences with stihl chainsaws that were day old ran on premix from stihl and wouldn’t fix them so I haven’t bought another one I picked up a 576 autotune! been only 1 month by so far so good! but I have a old 017 stihl and it runs mint and I have poulans and macs and a David Bradley and homlite super 12! no brand snob here its all about quality!
889€ in Germany
almost $1000 or twice as much as in the States.
a German company selling stuff made in Germany for almost half price overseas, fuck this.
Price in Ireland is crazy €839. Bought one in the Uk €510 good little saw.
That’s a real nice saw. I noticed that Stihl, like everyone else these days, is releasing a lot of new products and also sometimes old products with new model numbers.
$549.95 Florida USA
So which one: This Stihl 241cm or the Dolmar 421?
Good review. Your are a nice guy.
when your in the UK give me a shout weal go for some beer . I’ve got a couple of jobs for you .my garage is full of broken stihl tools I bet you’d like it :))
Hello Dony, is the electronic carb adjustable by yourself? or do you need Stihl or Husqvarna special software? Thank you very much for every single video. Greetings
Just bought one of these chainsaws
This brilliant review is just what i wanted thank you
HI, JUST BOUGHT ONE TODAY,, 05 01 17… COST £470.00 WITH A 14″ B & CHAIN,
BUT THE SAW IS DATED 2015,, BUT STILL C-M TRONIC,,,, GREAT SAW VERY RAPID,,, UK
2cyclemix we figured out it is the coil when it gets hot. I will have to source a coil out for it
Dolmar ps-421 329.99 🙂
hey dony. hope all is well. would love to see a review on the stihl 261. and maybe the Husqvarna 550 xp. love the 50cc saws, seams their weight and power are almost perfect for most work . ..at least for most people. and have been wondering if you have had to work on any of the m-tronic / auto tune saws yet.
My Nelson, BC Stihl dealer lists that 241 at $649.95! Where in Canada are you? I am shopping for possibly Stihl vs Husky. I need a reliable, easily repaired small saw for approximately 1-2 cords annually. Would something like the MS181C with Easy2Start homeowner grade be gimmicky breaking plastic garbage? Is it worth the extra $200 to go professional grade? I am tired of yearly fixing junk. Please reply. It is firewood season and I’ve been trying to fix my saw all day
In Finland MS241C costs 739.00 € = $974,22, some website price.
