6. Carburetor, manifold, sleeve
6.1 Technical description
The chain saws STIHL MS 171, 181 and 211 will be
fitted with a new carburetor as standard.
The new carburetors differ from previous
carburetors by a modified low speed adjusting
screw, high speed adjusting screw (MS 211 only)
and throttle shutter.
Together with the new carburetors, a new sleeve
and new manifold are introduced.
6.2 Overview of carburetor
The chain saws MS 181 and MS 211 are being fitted
with common carburetor versions.
The previous carburetors remain available as a
spare part for older machines.
6.3 Carburetor adjustment
The basic setting for servicing and the standard
setting for the new carburetors is the same as the
previous carburetors.
6.4 Manifold
6.4.1 MS 171, 181
The previous manifold 1139 140 2501 is being
replaced by the new manifold 1139 140 2502.
The new manifold 1139 140 2502 is marked by a
conical groove on the fuel mix duct (see arrow).
The cross-section of the clean air duct on the
manifold has been increased.
Spare parts
The new manifold 1139 140 2502 can also be used
for versions with a previous manifold
1139 140 2501.
The previous manifold 1139 140 2501 is no longer
available as a spare part.
For the new carburetors, the new manifold
1139 140 2502 is required.
Service notes

1139 140 2501 is replaced by the new manifold
1139 140 2502, coat the previous sleeve
1139 141 1801 with press fluid before inserting into
