Stihl 044 with 20” bar and new Oregon PowerCut chain. I am 2nd owner after buying from a cousin’s estate 2 years ago. Has been a firewood and farm saw all its life and never abused as you can see in pics. Runs strong just have too many saws so this one doesn’t get used much. Based on my...
Hi everyone I recently noticed my ms361 was running rough and decided to take a look at the piston and rings. When taking the cylinder off I noticed that the top of the piston looks melted? I could use some help finding out what happened.. thanks guys!
I know it’s been asked 1 million times but does anyone have a repair manual for the 084? First one I have worked on and never used the Oiler override button before. Thanks in advance.
What would this 066 red light sell for. New Hyway pop up big bore piston and head. New torch spark plug new handle not shown in pic. New ignition coil and plug wire new fuel line, new impulse line, and ported exhaust, might be installing ceramic bearings heard they’re good but not sure if...
HELLO/INTRO: Hello there! I'm a newbie to the site and a little green with chainsaws too. BUT I'm making up for lost time, as I've seriously caught the chainsaw bug. As I review tools over here, I already have a couple of small ones I didn't have to buy (Echo 352 and Dewalt 60V max). But I'm...
Looking at getting a MKIV mill for small milling projects using mostly green white spruce under 30" in diameter and maybe some green paper birch under 24" diameter. Biggest saw I own is a Stihl 271 which is only 50cc and probably not cut out for the job. Looking for some advice on what Stihls...
Hey everyone!
Just thought I would share what I discovered after buying a nice used 026. In the last picture, for any of you boaters out there, maybe even some non-boaters from Michigan, Charlie Winn was a founder of Four Winns boats. I put it together after starring at it and thinking about...
Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and looking for some answers. We recently started building handcrafted log homes so I went to the local Stihl dealer and bought a 261 C-M for our notching and small saw work. After using it a few days (less than 10 hours on the saw) it wasn't starting and obviously...
I’m trying to adjust the carburetor on my MS461 and I have 2 problems:
1- I cannot lower the RPM on full throttle below 13800.
2- when the saw is idling (2800-2900rpm), the chain run a little bit (it moves a inch every 1-2 seconds). Is that normal?
Thanks
Hi there
I recently bought an old Stihl 015L and I have been taking it apart and ordering spare parts that I could find etc. and I have of course noticed how expensive it is to buy a new 3/8 sprocket. The spur gear i have found this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:518513 and will try a 3D...
This saw has less then two hours of use. I had my dealer scan it last week to verify the usage and make sure it had the latest firmware. (See picture)
I bought it at a time when I thought I needed a saw that could be operated with one hand (due to a shoulder injury). It turns out this light...

Hey fellas, I opened up my new 445e muffler a little bit (drilled Two 1/4 inch holes and removed spark arrestor) I have the tool to adjust the carb. I believe I have it four stroking and it cleans up well in the cut. After a few hard hours the plug looks pretty lean, if I back the H screw out...
Trying to free up some garage space so I’m trying to offload my 026 stuff.. would like to sell all as a whole but can do individual... $450 takes the whole thing (whole chainsaws not included)... price is negotiable can ship from ND at cost.

Hello, I am new to this site and was referred here by a buddy. I have a love for saws and work on them frequently. My grandfather owned a logging company in Michigan and I worked with him as a young man. Anyways, I am working on a Stihl 041AV Super Electronic. A friend was gifted it from his dad...
Anybody have a working Stihl BR 550 Craftshaft part no: 4282 030 0404 ?? My bearings are shot. Actually, only need the bearings but the whole unit is one part. I believe the crankshaft for my unit is same part as BR500, BR550, BR600, & BR700.

Hello
I purchased a Stihl ms291 last August and saw is acting up this spring. After doing a little reading, I decided to take a look at the piston through the muffler port. There appears to be scoring and rings seem very tight.(pictures attachted)
Just wondering my path forward? I’m planning...
