The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL ElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e – The \u003cstrong\u003eElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e starter handle is an exclusive feature of \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The \u003cstrong\u003eElastoStart™\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™\u003c\/strong\u003e Compensating Carburetor – The \u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™\u003c\/strong\u003e 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. \u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003eIntelliCarb™\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e – \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It is called a \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e chain brake. The \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator’s hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL Quickstop®\u003c\/strong\u003e chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBumper Spikes – These spikes prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable Automatic Oiler – The Adjustable Automatic Oiler allows the user to adjust the lubricant of the guide bar and saw chain for different bar lengths and cutting conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecompression Valve – The 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-Separation Air Filtration System – This time-saving technology boosts the efficiency of the engine’s filter system, doubling the time between air filter cleanings. Air drawn into the engine is first separated via centrifugal force, ejecting the heavier dirt particles before being routed to the air filter. This pre-separation means less dirt to be captured by the air filter, resulting in less frequent cleaning and maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide-Access Chain Tensioner – The 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e – The \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e is an easy-to-use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock, and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Control Lever™\u003c\/strong\u003e to the choke position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-Vibration System – \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The \u003cstrong\u003eSTIHL®\u003c\/strong\u003e anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToolless Fuel and Oil Caps with Retainers – Simply lift the lever and twist the caps to remove or tighten. There’s no need to use a tool to tighten or loosen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerhead Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.8 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Guide Bar Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e .325\" RM3 (OILOMATIC®)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Oil Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.0 bhp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38.6 cc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTIHL recommends:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e #3695 (23 RM3 67) OILOMATIC®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuide Bar:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\" (3003 000 3313 Ematic™)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Bar Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\" – 20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"product-desc-div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stihl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46972762259713,"sku":"MS 261 20","price":799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/6271\/2065\/files\/2d156441-4759-44e4-adf7-9bb05349dfff.jpg?v=1764955362","url":"https:\/\/gtnoutdoorpowerinc.com\/products\/stihl%c2%ae-ms-261-w-20-inch-bar-and-chain","provider":"Georgetown Outdoor Power, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
