The MS 261 C-M takes all the great features of the original MS 261 and adds the advanced STIHL M-Tronic™ engine management system. This smart system uses an onboard microprocessor to automatically monitor and adjust for changes in working conditions — such as altitude, temperature, fuel quality, and even dirty air filters — ensuring consistent, maximum performance without any manual tuning.
