I think I'll set that saw aside for a while and keep my eyes open for a reasonable cost used muffler. If none come up I'll spring for shinny new OEM part, it's a nice looking saw and deserves a nice muffler. I have all the parts I need to put it together other than muffler so I won't parts it...

Just checked with dealer. Muffler is $54 + tax so almost $60 OEM new.

Ebay has one $38 plus shipping, about $50. I haven't checked the Stihl dealer but sometimes they are cheaper than ebay parts. I've had parts on order for months at a couple dealers up here and I get I'm sorry I dropped the ball ordering but parts still don't show up. I checked Hutzl and no 261...

I started to fix up Stihl saws after I retired. I soon found out that it's not fast easy profit. Most non-running saws have a few reasons why they no longer function. It seems most people nurse them along with issues until they no longer run. Then rob a couple parts from them and shove them...

Thanks for the welcome. I figure someone might have a good idea and a couple loose mufflers they could try.

I need a Muffler for a MS261 and they are pretty expensive. Cheapest I found was $50 used and no new aftermarket mufflers available. I figure something else would fit will slight modifications. Does anyone have a good guess what will fit besides 261/241 mufflers? Thanks -----G-Woody
