Stihl 051 or 075,need some help Identifying

[Dan_IN_MN]

When I grabbed the pics from Mike's site, I didn't realize how similar the saws were!

I don't see a manual backup oiler, it has the 89cc jug (from your last pic - the 076/075 jug has the decomp in the other hole) and the smaller fuel tank. So even if it's a bitsa I'd still safely call it an (early) 051. All the 051s I've come across and owned haven't had a decomp. I've also plugged all the 076/075s I've owned

Try here. I just bump this thread. Need to sticky it.

Here are some pictures of both an 051 and a 076. Hope these help.
The first is the manual oil control on the 075/076 and the oil filler cap.


The 051 oil cap is on the top of the saw instead of the side.


Also the decompression is located in a different spot. I don't have one for either but you can see the location is different.
Here is the 051.


And here is the 076

Well, here are the holes on the 2 saws I just got. I am up for anyone to play at name the saw model based on the pictures and info stated above.







One saw has the knob for oiler, the other doesn't

No Manual oiler knob, and 075 Tag on Airbox cover, but is it really an 075 and not an 051?

 

[belgian]

judging by the absence of manual oiler, I'd say it's an 050 or 051

My 050 has the same clutch cut away, very funny.

Ok, so the story continues. I pulled the covers off and the gas tanks/starters to get a glimpse of the engines. The one saw has the full length bolts holding the jug on, while the 2md one with the 075 cover appears to be more like an 051 with the short bolt/screws attaching the jug to the bottom end. There were a few other items to address that I found on each saw. Anyway, that's that for now.

What same clutch cutaway? Belgian? Not sure if it was yours or another guy's but I was reading where one guy said his saw actually made that hole in the cover.

 

[belgian]

of course the cutaway is made by the saw itself. I think if you tighten the clutch cover without the bar present, the clutch drum will touch the cover and grind the whole itself.
