I used to drill and burr holes through that crap and remove tube. But no longer worth my time.
I just buy the afm mufflers now, then mod them at no cost.

Stickys of How to Basics commonly ask questions / JASO 2 stroke new list dated Dec 2025
« Last post by Cut4fun on December 16, 2025, 08:57:17 am »JASO 2 stroke new list dated Dec 2025.
See where your oil is or not and where it is on the list of over 500 oils tested and certified.
What the letters mean.
FB corresponds to high lubricity performance but without any low-smoke technology.
FC meets the FB lubricity standards but also is a low-smoke lubricant.
FD corresponds to higher detergency properties than the other two grades, meets the lubricity requirements and has low smoke requirements.
IMO if you want a cleaner running oil it has to be FD rated. Only one that adds the cleaning package. They all meet the FB for lubricity.

Stihl / Re: Stihl 250 easy start
« Last post by Cut4fun . on December 15, 2025, 07:37:19 am »Saved info from one I worked on in 2012 = It pulls over very easily out, it stops then it rotates to start it. Like I was winding something up. I will be here to about 5pm if you want to check it out.
Has H L LA carb which is good but H was against stop and turning 14.8K
Got out the dremel and fixed that, now turning 12.5K.
I can see the easy start being useful for some people. I think a think a 3 year old could pull them since they are so easy IMO.
Jim you can come check it out if you like.
Jim = The "Easy Start" on the Stihl 250C that cut4fun had at his house this afternoon was unbelievably easy to pull. Not being accustomed to it and owning a regular 025, I pulled the cord all the way out and let the handle go back into the starter. Then the engine turned over and started as the Stihl 250C was stihl warm from being run earlier. I shut it off and restarted it several times this way.
There is no compression release or Elastostart on this one for it is not needed.
It would take a mighty stout woman to start my regular 025 for it has very strong compression and no compression release. If it is cold, I have to start it on the ground.
I have a Dolmar 5105 that is supposed to be "Easy Start" and it has a wrap spring between the starter pulley and the crankshaft but it doesn't work as easy as the one on the /Stihl 250 that I used today.

Stihl / Stihl 250 easy start
« Last post by Cut4fun . on December 15, 2025, 07:31:26 am »Traded the echo 3510 for another easy start saw. Dad cant get the spring assist saws started by other makers.
His 180 easy start is so much easier to start. The spring assist saws stop on him mid pull with bad shoulder.
So took this easy start stihl 250 with the tool less clutch cover too. Dad likes that tool less cover on his 180. I'm not a fan of that part.
Hopefully they both get where going with this time of year. Traded with a guy in TX I know in my group.

Cordless Battery OPE - Corded Electric / Stihl MSA300 dyno 261
« Last post by Cut4fun . on December 12, 2025, 09:49:07 am »Joe did a stihl 300 battery saw on dyno compared to the 261.
Eco run is the lower power saving mode. Other 2 runs full power.
Very interesting comparison.

« Last post by Cut4fun . on December 10, 2025, 09:55:16 am »Bought this for dad as a back up saw to his easy start 180 I gave him years ago. The spring assit echo is not as easy to pull over as the easy start saws.
Update NLA, shipped to the warmer climates.
