stihl

Hey guys my first post here, I’ve done a complete restoration on my Stihl Contra and have replaced tons of parts, the issue I’m having is it is hard starting when cold 30 plus pulls, when it gets going and you shut it off it fires back up on the first pull, I am a little stumped on whether it is...

The annular buffer mount is broken on my 661. Was wondering if anyone knows a way to fix this or if anyone has right side crank case for sale. Any help would be much appreciated.

so i was reading on this forum (its a pretty old one https://www.arboristsite.com/threads/ms180-adjustable-carb.74899/) and i have a little experience with chainsaws. have a poulan pro 42cc and a free ms180 that so far ive put in $16 for a new engine and piston. ran great for a year and a half...

So I bought a MS170. Wanted a small light saw. It has sat without fuel. Anyway won’t start. Replaced carb with factory Zama Stihl. Won’t start. It will start when put fuel in cylinder. It is like the carb is not pulling fuel. The fuel line I pushed it way on. Ran for 30 seconds. Plan on zip...

I picked up a Stihl FC55 edger (clean, low useage) to go along with my other Stihl equipment (chain saw, trimmer, tiller, blower) knowing it wouldn't start. It has good compression, good spark and gets fuel. Should be running. When I looked through the butterfly of the carb the fuel is just...

I purchased a new MS 391. I used it once for no more than an hour. The second time I used it I started it with the chain brake on and let it warm up for two minutes as told by the Stihl Dealer I purchased it from. After two minutes of Idle (chain Brake on) I turned it off and went to start it 5...

I have an old 440 that I just made a 440/460 hybrid. I put a brand new carb on it when I did the swap because when it was just a 440 I couldn't ever get the carb adjusted correctly, or so I thought. The 440 piston was also absolutely shot so I never really thought about the issue being anything...

Hello, I have an 023 that a friend gave me, it's a family heirloom... I've replaced the fuel line, filter, carb kit put into the OEM carb, breather valve(currently removed as I thought it was the issue) saw starts on choke, seems to run a bit high on half and runs in the on position, aslong as...

Hey team I’d love to run a Stihl bar with a rounder nose sprocket on my ported Echo cs4010 that I love for piecing trunks on my way down. This one has the same specs as the skinny Echo bar I’m running, with an adapter to mate the mounting bolts it should work, right?

Hey all, Selling a rebuilt MS461. I traded a guy for it (he claimed it didn't work and probably straight gassed it). Cleaned up the OEM cylinder and replaced the piston with a Meteor/Caber kit. Rebuilt the carb as well. This thing is low on dents and scratches and doesn't appear to have been...

Anyone ever deal with a Stihl chainsaw where the chain brake will engage randomly in the middle of bucking cuts without touching the chain brake lever or doing anything that should engage the inertia brake? So far, we've cleaned out the levers and springs and put in some grease on pins, but it...

Good day, I have a couple Stihl 051 parts saws (oil cap on top) that I’d like to maybe exchange for some newer 051 or 076 parts to build the popular 051/076 hybrid saw for bucking some of the bigger timber we get on the west coast😎 One of the saws is complete with full wrap handle and I did...

I bought this saw off of marketplace. (His father in law passed away and he couldn't get it running) Oil is leaking out of the spark plug hole after I've emptied fuel and bar oil. I've tried new fuel with proper ratio. If I take the spark plug out I can pull the pull cord, if I put the spark...

I may have the opportunity to bring home an 050. I don’t know much about them or what shape this saw is in. Will it be worth the adventure to get and rebuild?

hey guys! looking to purchase a new saw and ive narrowed it down to down to either a 044/046 or a 066. wanted to get some opinions. planning on using it for some medium to large firewood bucking and felling with likely starting with a 28in bar (maybe upgrading to a 32in later). weights not a big...

Stihl ms460 mag, just put a plug and carb kit into it, only down side is I had to use a chip deflector from the wide chain cover version since I couldn't find my proper sized ones in my parts. It is a used saw and I had tested it last year cutting hense why the new plug and carb kit, but sat...

Hello, I'm working on my uncles Stihl MS 271 and when I got it all torn down I found the the transfer cover had come off the head. Now my question is can I reattach this some how or do I need a whole new head for it ?? I have never seen this happen so I figured I'd ask you guys/gals who are...

Hi Guys - I'm looking for a Stihl Contra Super/Lightning Super cylinder with the 66mm bore. I have a Lightning Super project I got from a member here years ago but the plating is damaged badly. I have tons of stuff to trade including many unobtanium parts for a variety of large vintage and...

Hi all, I'm trying to diagnose this whirring/screeching sound at idle on my Stihl 088. It happens when the chain brake is both engaged and disengaged. I think it goes away as the RPMs increase, but it's hard to hear over the engine noise. The easiest way to replicate the noise is by pulling...

Iv recently picked up a stihl ms291c-beq, can't say iv heard of this particular model, I'm used to the standard ms291, can anyone tell me what that parts avaliablity is like on this saw and if the 2 versions are both parts compatable, reason I ask is the model I have has a purge button whereas...
