stihl

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!

We are most fortunate to have a new Stihl 201 donated to our Disaster Response Team. Saw will always be on the ground - primarily limbing. All our work is at ground elevation. Came w 14 bar. I would welcome suggestions on best bar and chain for that purpose. Thank you! My goto saws going fw...

Hey, guys hope everyone is doing well. I have a Stihl MS 261M Tronic chainsaw that I am working on. The complaint from the customer was idling fast coming off of throttle starts up fine and runs good just idles fast. It almost sounded like there was an air leak causing it to run lean. So I did a...

Hello I found and bought Stihl 5910-893-8501. I could not find a reference. I bought it anyway it was 10 bucks and I hoped that I could figure out what it went to or how it was used. I kind of thought that it was part of the case cracker tool set but when I put the two side by side this is...

I’ve been tinkering with my 025 stihl I got for free locked up. I let it sit for a few weeks with deep creep in it and it unlocked. Anyways, it’s ran great for the last 2 years. I’ve started modding the muffler heavily, I’m wondering if it’s to much for this saw. It runs sweet and makes a ton of...

I was given a 461 with an unknown history. It was sitting for a least 6-8 months. I don't know much about saws so please bear with me. I changed all the fluids, it then ran perfect as far as I could tell. However it smoked a lot from the side, I pulled off the cover (took the pic) and...

Hello all, I am rebuilding my dads 044 saw. I need to know if it is 12mm or 10mm wrist pin, serial number is 119515513 also, what else can you tell me about this saw using the serial number? Thanks for the info!

Hi, my name is Florian and I'm a 16 year old german motorsport and chainsaw fan. Together with my dad we are reactivating older Stihl chainsaws like the 009 010 011 012. We have done a lot of this saws now and almost every saw had a problem: the oilpump was no longer oiling. We decided to...

Hello! I'm new to the forum (as a member), but I've benefitted by reading many of the discussions found on this website. I'm thankful you all have been so helpful to others in wrestling with saw decisions and giving them advice. Great group it seems. I'm asking what I hope can be an unbiased...

New shipment from Va. at the lumber yard I work at. Mostly MS250s. I mostly operate in the yard, apart from equipment sales but just happened to mosey over to receiving when this skid was off-loaded. Figured most non-dealers hadn’t ever seen chainsaws palletized. So I figured I would share...

I believe my 028 wood boss needs a coil. But I dont wanna pay the $156 for a new one. Anyone have a good used one they wanna sell? Or info on where I can get a cheaper one? Thanks in advance
