Sold STIHL 084 CHAINSAW

[kz1000]

I have been working on this saw off and on for a few months. I had to find a brake band, sprocket, filter, clutch cover, bar, chain and fix a timing issue. It wants to flood even after a new carburetor kit and I don't know why. Starts, runs oils and revs but not well due to the fuel problem. I don't need it and feel that there is a member that does so it's up for sale. The only things (that I know of) wrong with the saw are it's flooding on rev, clutch springs are weak letting the chain spin at idle, the inside lower muffler bolt hole will need a thread sert, no outer bar plate and the lower part of the clutch cover is gone.

I would like $600 for the power head and $700 with the Stihl 36" bar and .404 chain, shipping will be figured for the address and added to the price. I will set a max. shipping at $60 to the lower 48.

One saw I had was the same way, couldn't get it lean enough on top end. Put on a different carb and problem was fixed. I cleaned it,rebuilt it,cleaned it some more,changed metering level then said the hell with it.

Glad to hear that, I got discouraged after having the carb out twice. I wonder if the needle seat gets wallowed out and if it can be replaced?

 

[Nate66n1]

I guess anything is possible

Do you realize that some 084 carbs have a built in rev limiter? How does it actually run in the cut?

 

[kz1000]

I haven't even tried it and no I didn't know that. I think that I need to find some wood worth putting it in and give it a try. The biggest chunk around the house is 16" Alligator.

 

[blsnelling]

I have a hunch it'll run just fine in the cut

Did u convert it from the flat filter to the hd filter ?

 

[kz1000]

It was that way when I received it, I had some filters and put a new one on.

 

[Nate66n1]

Mine wasn't limited because it would spew raw fuel out the muffler. And that was in wood.

 

[Nate66n1]

Take the air cleaner off and it would lean up some but still wasn't right.

 

[kz1000]

I've got honey-dos and rain today so might try to get it in some real wood Saturday.

 

[kz1000]

I thought that I would get a lot of hits on this?

I've read others saying it's a bad time , I had a very nice 084 runner with 48" bar I sold cheap last weekend, I had it on Craig's list for a few weeks with no interest till I dropped it very low ,I wanted to put it on here so bad to help someone out here on a good deal instead of a random guy but a well respected member told me to hold off for now till I get more respected an known on here an I thank him for that, but let's just say I had to sell mine dirt cheap I'm starting to believe its a very bad time to sell saws

 

[kz1000]

I hear you on the saws not moving, I'll sell it local this fall.

 

[AM_Jarhead]

I know everyone here hates eBay to include myself but last week they had one going for a grand with a few bids that wasn't in good shape at all , kind of wish I would've threw it on there to see what would've happened but good luck with your sale bud!!!

 

[blsnelling]

AS has never been a sellers market.

But we love buying saws here

^ Yep for as cheap as possible usually. Because there are 5-100 more in the shed that can do the same job. Non chainsaw addicted folks are more likely to pay full to fair price, because they just don't know any better or actually really need the saw.

 

[kz1000]

That's a really good point that I hadn't considered, most folks on here already have what they need.
