I dread seeing a MS250 saw come thru the department. I have to run it on the liquid cooled dyno because the 250 loves to pick up a vibration/oscillation. I clamp them down thru the handles and use a wood clamp to quell vibrations on the bottom of the loop handle. The 250 will also give you a nice little compression kick once in awhile, another reason for the dread. But once running they are great saws. Good power and balance. New it takes 3 pulls on full choke, then 3 pulls on half choke. It used to be 2 pulls max but modern emissions standards no longer let you dump fuel thru the ports and out of the exhaust! All old chainsaws are so dirty! We get to run a old saw once in awhile and its shocking how much blow-by comes thru the exhaust!
Anybody else oil a chainsaw manually?

Used to breath that fine sawdust and oil and gas droplets everyday,wood cutters need to wear some sort of breathing filter,I like the weight of the MS 250,I can live without its contrariness,sometimes the modules on the older sthils would make the saw kick very hard,brother had an 038 that would almost pull the starting rope out of your hand( we used to light the mufflers on the old wore out mccullochs to get them started( boss thought chainsaws would run forever) 2 cycles are a dying breed on resort lakes and so on,I watched the test of high end electric saws-some are pretty impressive. I would advise everyone on this site to get a little backup solar ,WSHTF liquid fuels are going to be very scarce. I know I would if I could afford it,the price of gas now has turned me into a homebody.
