You all prolly dont care but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Allan Derek Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Good deal. Let me know how it goes. I found that it is easy to do but you need to make sure you get the timing right. I also noticed that it makes a difference in the saws performance.
I always calibrate with a hot engine. Your not supposed to do this with the engine cold for several obvious reasons. As soon as max revs is over kill it then. No reason to let it run after revs have dropped. Shut it off and fire back up and cut.
Great video! Very good detail. Just bought the 261c-m today. I've watched a ton of videos on youtube about dealers not knowing much. I asked my dealer if they started it, he said yep, runs great. I then asked if he did the calibration - he looked at me like a deer in head lights. He does not know about the calibration! :( Do they come pre calibrated from the factory or should I calibrate it?
Just run the calibration cycle for yourself to be sure. I would honestly run a few tanks through it first before you run it at that high of RPMs. Make sure to buy the 6 pack of Stihl oil so you extend your base warranty by a year. It’s a no brainer.
Great video. I have an MS 261 C-M that is *not* an 'mtronic version 3.0' and I am really frustrated with the hope of depending upon my very expensivce Stihl MS 261 C-M when I need it. I've read many posts, and in short I know I'm not alone with these performance frustrations. There appears to be a product ~grey area between the mtronic version 3.0 chainsaw you speak about and the 'sux-2-b-u' version of MS 261 C-M that I bought. I've replaced the spark plug, cleaned the air filter, changed out the gas filter, and watched every You tube video I could. I bought my MS 261 C-M in late 2018 and I've had to have it serviced twice. Not feeling the love for this machine at the moment. If you have any insights, I would appreciate hearing from you.
I wish I could help more. I run my saw maybe twice a month so I am not a heavy user by any means. All I can offer is that I have really had no issues at all since recalibrating. I did have some hot start issues where I would be running the saw then stall it and have to restart it and it would absolutely refuse to restart, I would just about want to throw it in the trash. Since calibrating, I haven't run into that again. Hard to give any other insight.
I’m in the same boat as you Rick saw runs great sometimes replaced 2 ignition modules and still having problems with it stopping when hot and not wanting to start. It is 2018 saw and there is a complete information void on what to do next. dealer put if on computer and said nothing wrong with it. Except change filters.
If your saw isn’t running right, if your saw is idling weird or if you are having trouble with it restarting. If you move or are using your saw in a different climate or elevation. It just resets your air fuel mix based on the atmospheric conditions.
Yeah after watching the footage I think I was a few seconds short but I noticed the engine speed dropped back down according to the chart so I think it still worked. I will do another reset some other time but I had the saw out all day yesterday and it ran flawlessly and there was no hot restart issues like I had before so fingers crossed! Thanks for commenting.
Yeah, I was wondering about this too. Instructions say to kill the saw after the idle drops, but the chart shows the rpms dropping twice after it hits its max rpms. I’d like to see the follow up if you do it again to see if the rpms drop again to actual idle speed.
@@darkbidding I did do it again and it does the same thing. My saw hasn't had the hot restart issue anymore so it seemed to work. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Only as needed. If you do it once now then if you run into an issue later you can do it again later. I would only do it if you are having issues or the saw seems off.
Needs to be calibrated. I would run in with chain break off and run in through the sequence then see if that makes a difference. Otherwise it could be a fuel issue.
Yeah...use one for a living, then tell about mtronic. Stihl knows the pros hate it. Carb saws, new and used, have almost doubled in price and nothing is shipping from Stihl as they rush to redesign. Steer clear unless used for home use.
Yes Molnar is Hungarian. I don't know exactly where in Hungry we originated from but I know that we are originally from that area of the world. My grandparents, parents, and myself are all born and raised in the US though. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I bought a 261C M-tronic and it was the worst saw I've purchased in 50 years of sawing in the woods. I gave the damned thing to a buddy, who threw it away. No adjustments on the carb, but lots of F-around when a man should be sawing.
You never owned that saw. You are just a liar.. There is absolutely no f around with this saw. The calibration process is something you dont really need to do. People do it after muffler mods etc. The saw automatically fine tunes itself and runs amazing from day 1 with no issues what so ever. The new h2 filters are also flawless. You typing bunch of bullshit.
Thanks for demonstrating the procedure AND pointing out where to find which M-tronic version the saw has. Cheers!

@Allan Derek It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Angelo Eduardo you are welcome :D
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
I am a Stihl dealer and this is news to me. I also happen to own an MS 261cm so I'll try to calibrate it today.
Good deal. Let me know how it goes. I found that it is easy to do but you need to make sure you get the timing right. I also noticed that it makes a difference in the saws performance.
thank you for posting. Stihl should also have an "instructional" on this procedure.
They do
I I just did a calibration on my sthil MS 261 CM today I timed it on my phone 😎👍
Greetings from Hungary!👍👍👍
Thanks very much mate for the tip jimmy Australia
Grazie 🙏🏻

@@Jazzking22 Great advice, thank you. Are you saying run a few tanks through it before calibrating it?
@@bhilton81 yes. It’s good to break it in lightly.

Works great thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Awesome!
My saw is a 2019 ms261cm and i don't have the mtronics specified on it, what reset procedure should I follow?
also make sure to warm it up first before calibration. Do some cuts first.
For what reason most to do calibrate ? What's happed with carburator .. hello from România !
If your saw isn’t running right, if your saw is idling weird or if you are having trouble with it restarting. If you move or are using your saw in a different climate or elevation. It just resets your air fuel mix based on the atmospheric conditions.
Hej, god info, bit what do you do if it won`t idle?
Throw it lol
Do you have to do this each time you start it?
No, only when you notice the saw running weird or it won't restart after its been running for a while.
In only counted 25seconds of full throttle. Should you have done it for another 5 secs?
Yeah after watching the footage I think I was a few seconds short but I noticed the engine speed dropped back down according to the chart so I think it still worked. I will do another reset some other time but I had the saw out all day yesterday and it ran flawlessly and there was no hot restart issues like I had before so fingers crossed! Thanks for commenting.

@@Jazzking22 Excellent! Thanks for the reply!
Is that all you work on is Sthil ?
I have a question, do I have to reset it every time I use it or only the first time I use it? thanks
Only as needed. If you do it once now then if you run into an issue later you can do it again later. I would only do it if you are having issues or the saw seems off.
I just bought a ms 201, should I calibrate it? Now, after break in period…or just leave it? Edit: **obviously not during break in
Run it for 6-10 tanks then calibrate it. I wouldn't rip on it too much until you have 10 tanks through it.
@@Jazzking22 10-4. Thanks. 🤙
I can’t get mine to idle more then 10 seconds with the chain brake on it runs great under throttle but won’t idle what’s your thoughts ?
Needs to be calibrated. I would run in with chain break off and run in through the sequence then see if that makes a difference. Otherwise it could be a fuel issue.
@@Jazzking22 Thankyou !, do you think it would still do the Calibrstion without the chain brake step
I wish I would’ve known before I bought this. I just want a regular saw. No fancy electronics
They're fine
My ms 241 has ICES-2/ NBK -2, so I assume I have Version 2.0. Can the firmware be updated to V. 3.0?
As far as know, the number relates to the mtronic hardware. So it's not just a firmware update.
💯💯💯💯👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝
Thank you!
I watched the earlier video where your procedure is wrong. You should delete the video, as it is misleading.
Good point, I will, thanks!
Yeah...use one for a living, then tell about mtronic. Stihl knows the pros hate it. Carb saws, new and used, have almost doubled in price and nothing is shipping from Stihl as they rush to redesign. Steer clear unless used for home use.
Jo napot magyar vagy a Molnar nev egy magyar nev?
Yes Molnar is Hungarian. I don't know exactly where in Hungry we originated from but I know that we are originally from that area of the world. My grandparents, parents, and myself are all born and raised in the US though. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I love mine. Starts and runs good. I like it better then my ms391
Love mine also. Been sawing for 40 years and it’s the best chainsaw I’ve ever owned.
Easily the worst starting saw I've ever owned. I'm definitely questioning my purchase.
@@shawnwise2458 I agree.
You never owned that saw. You are just a liar.. There is absolutely no f around with this saw. The calibration process is something you dont really need to do.

Yea,I'll have the saw with hi,lo, .fecking computer telling me saw what to dooo.o nonono
No professional starts the saw between their legs... pull on it like a man. Safety is always second
Yeah I agree but it seems like it’s best to let the novices understand the safe way before they go to the right way. Thanks for watching!
You shouldn't be handling a running chainsaw without safety chaps on your legs.
When I am cutting I will wear them but not for a non-cutting demonstration. Thanks for watching!
