This is my second Stihl blk57 army version, which are plenty around in europe.
I bought it last week on a flea market together with its storage box. I didn't need it but it was built in the same year as myself, so it had to be a good one, hehe.... Also, she is completely original.
I had no spark, so I proceeded cleaning the points and replacing the condensor, but it decided suddenly to go out with a big baaaannnnng... :censored:
I took me quite some time to find the cause : a coil/condenser wire rubbed the flywheel (my mistake) and shut off the ignition.
This saw is mechanically nearly perfect but it's a difficult starter, although a smooth runner once smoking. I suspect the reed valves to bit a bit stiff.

Another beauty of a saw Belgian, You really have a super collection. What size chain is on it, Looks like a monster chain.
Haha, not really old like Tommy Hall, but ya know, rather experienced, handsome and certainly wiser than in my younger days :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
tant no way Bill getting jealous of me ... I'd prefer to meet you guys one day and run some friendly competition with the oldies, knowing that I would win of course...

Thanks SS. My collection is not really special, but I have fun restoring the ones I have, and that's what really matters for me. It's a great hobby.
That chain is a typical Stihl scratcher chain, but not really heavy compared to the ones on two man saws. In fact, this chain is rather narrow and quite light. It cuts rather slow and leaves very small chips, similar to a handsaw.

Thanks for the pic and explanation of the chain. Guess it looks so big cause the links appears to higher or taller than i've seen(which isn't much).

Very nice two saw plan.
Roland,
The saws are always so cool, the grass is always so green, you have a lovely wife, the twins are well behaved, life must be pretty good in Belgium.

If that doesn't make your heart race, you obviously don't have a pulse.

I'd love one of those!! Where are the vids!!
a chilly day out at the bike trails (is it march or june?!??!), so amber stole my sweatshirt... then my toy...
While I generally don't like mountain bikers, (I have to repair the fences they cut), that is a great pic. Amber is holding the saw like it is a hot water bottle.

Gregg, brother... You must be rich! Owning not only one, but two of the highly sought after "Wild Things"

LOL, Yes alot of money in them honeys
Only one is actually a Wild Thing, the other has the colors though. All of those saws were junk basket cases that I salvaged, except the 3400 on top and the 385xp, bought them new. I know, alot of you Stihl guys probably think there ALL still basket cases
But they run great and cut alot of wood.Gregg,
