Stihl STIHL-MS661CM-20 MS 661 C-M Professional Chainsaw – 20″ Bar

The MS 661 C-M chain saw is equipped with cutting-edge technologies for the best possible performance for the logging and harvesting industries. It boasts a high power-low weight ratio and is the lightest chain saw in its engine displacement class. The extra powerful and efficient delayed stratified scavenging engine allows you to work effectively, thanks to its high cutting performance and low emissions. It features the M-Tronic fully electronic engine management system, which uses a microchip to control the engine’s ignition timing and fuel supply, taking into account variables such as temperature, fuel quality and elevation. Take it to the max, with minimum effort. Also available with full wrap or heated handles and carburetor (MS 661 C-M VW R) 20″ Bar Features:   STIHL ElastoStart:The ElastoStart starter handle is an exclusive feature of STIHL. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The ElastoStart starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) normally felt during cranking. The forces which occur at the grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed out. MS – IntelliCarb compensating carburetorThe IntelliCarb Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine’s correct RPM. IntelliCarb uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the “dirty” side of the air box. MS – Side-access chain tensionerThe side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw. MS – Decompression ValveThe decompression valve, also referred to as ‘deco’ or ‘deco valve’, vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. The decompression valve temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope. It is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires.
