Great video - thanks. It was more thorough than most of the other videos I have seen about cleaning a chainsaw. I also have a Stihl MS 261.

[@foggyvalleyacres]

Thank you, I appreciate that! Good taste with the 261 👍🏼

What you are calling the clutch cover is the clutch drum just fyi. And also clean underneath the recoil a lot of saw dust gets in there because it pulls air in thru there.

Thanks, Good tip!

Good video, I don’t care for the new bar styles.

[@foggyvalleyacres]

It wasn’t bad, I changed it out for a sugihara bar, much higher quality than the the light 04

[@AroundTheYard-MN]

First view! Thanks for the overview. Is the Light 04 an actual light bar or is it just marketing from Stihl?

[@foggyvalleyacres]

Mostly marketing, however it is lighter because it is a thinner version of the rollomatic bar. I have a sugihara on my 462, I would go that route if I were to get another one.

[@JMOP2020]

The "light" bars are the new bars coming standard from STIHL all in .325 pitch. It is an attempt from them to somewhat standardize their bars and chains. They will all be .50g in the future.

If youre going to clean this much of your saw, you really need to go ahead and replace your air filter and spark plug. No reason to service it this far without doing so.

[@foggyvalleyacres]

That is a good point, it is probably due for a plug, filter is only a few months old though.

​@@foggyvalleyacres,don't go nuts u guys with u equipment. You don't need to replace anything if only a few months old,just keep the airfilter clean!
