** LISTEN TO ATTACHED VIDEO** I just installed a West coast Saw Bark box on my Stihl MS 400 m tronic and I am having doubts on if it is harming the saw or not. I followed the proper carb reset on the manufactures website after install and I use Stihl Moto mix. It cracks and pops a lot. Is this...

Hi, just got a 026 from a friend a he told me that he can not start (hard to start) it he needs to pull it 12 to star. our local Stihl dealer look at it and told us that is a model defect. do you know something that I can do for that This was only use for 10 contracts and stored is like new...

I recently purchased a bark box from West Coast saw and I am wondering what do I need to do after installing it (the first start up) in order to not cause any damage to the saw? Do I need to reset it after installing the bark box? Here are the 2 procedures I found online for M Tronic saws...

Hi good day everyone. I have this old Stihl brush cutter that has been sitting in the store for almost more than a decade. Tried to Google for its information but found none. I would like to ask for everyone's expert opinion here if this brush cutter is worth restoring? I'll upload a few...

Just bought a MS 461 and order a bark box from West Coast Saws. I am wondering how do I need to tune the saw after installing the bark box? What are the factory max RPM and Idle rpm before bark box? What are the recomended MAX RPM and IDLE RPM after installation? Thank you very much

Here's pics of an 066 for sale on craigslist. It's 250 miles away but he only wants 400 bucks for it. I think that's a pretty decent deal but what do you all think? Thanks much

Hello all I have a STIHL 066 that just got out of the shop and mechanic said it was “tuned” right. The saw has aftermarket exhaust on it. Throttle response is good and engine seems to be running good. while idling, the chain keeps turning and sometimes turns at high speed. Any idea on what...

Hello to all. New to chainsaws I have a Stihl 066 that I freshly serviced at a dealer. Everything checked out. Brought it back home and starting cutting some logs. started well, went full throttle, no loss of power while cutting. However, it loses power (shuts down) while idling. Things I...

So during COVID found a guy in a farm town selling a MS440 for $200, it was run hard and put away wet, but it ran, so I bought it. Then I got the great idea to "fix" what wasn't broken. Here is my advice to anyone who runs into any similar issues that I had along with a MASSIVE thank you to the...

I’ve got a brand new Stihl ms 261 c right from the dealer out of the box new. I noticed when testing to see if the saw was oiling enough on a piece of cardboard it was leaking bar oil from the top of the chain down the side of the bar and all in the clutch cover. I usually run my saws wide open...

Got myself a 261-C the other day, heard they're very good saws and this was incredibly cheap, so thought it was worth a shot. Seems like the saw is all good, it just smokes quite heavily when under high load. I've done a bit of searching, I can rule out a chain/bar issue as it doesn't have one...

Been trying to work on my MS200T recently, noticed that the chain cover doesn't sit flush to the body of the saw. Can't see anything blatantly blocking it, so I'm not sure what the issue is, whether it's warped or if there's a piece missing somewhere. Any ideas?

Just got my hands on a MS200T, claimed to be not running but a quick carb change and it runs perfectly fine, problem is that when I try to turn it off, nothing happens. I've clearly made a rookie mistake and linked up something incorrectly in the carb, just not sure what. I'm watching vids of...

Hello! Need some advice. I presume the LW bars specified for 194/200/201 refers to LightWeight? Wondering if I can use my 211 (or 170/180) bars on my 201? I think my (16inch) 211 bars are .050. I would like to try a 16 inch bar on the 201. BTW, I am in 3 - 4 tanks so far w 201 and extremely...

Hi everyone! Just bought my first chain saw. A used stihl 290. I dont really know much about saws but i am familiar with engines so im picking up pretty quick as i read through forum after forum. Basically, my saw wouldn't cut through wood, its got an 18 inch bar, and the wood or chain just...

Hey everybody, So i know this topic has been covered many times on this site but i’m yet to find a concrete answer for my issue in specific. I bought a 064 with a coil but no flywheel. I have a CDIC-A coil model number 1122 400 1307 I believe. I just can’t figure out which flywheel i should be...

I've had this saw on ebay, ran two complete auctions, and neither buyer has paid or even communicated. Both auctions landed at the 275ish mark. It is currently on my eBay for 250 obo before shipping. This is my own personal saw and I am the second owner. As far as I know, it's all oem. It's...

Looking for a good 80cc or over saw, doesn't need to be running or beautiful either. I don't mind a project if the bottom end is good. Prefer husky and I don't care how old it is. Might be able to trade also depending on what it is. Thanks!
