Stihl 090 find!!!!

[Mastermind]

The clutch cover is most likely from someone running it without a bar. Those saws will have some end play as they use a needle bearing rather than a grooved roller bearing.

I just clean up and looked at the cylinder walls a little closer. They feel and look like gouges. I got a second opinion and they agree. I am bringing the cylinder in to work where there is a torch and muratic acid. I will try and see if this will work but it is not looking good.:msp_thumbdn:

They will feel like gouges until you get all the transfer off. Take you time and remove all the aluminum before you give up on it. I should also mention that the jug doesn't have to be flawless to run great. A scratch or two ain't gonna hurt it.

If you want, you can send you're cylinder to me and I'll take a shot at it. I'd hate to see a salvageable one thrown away. I have one where the NiSi is missing in places due to wear. Maybe someday I'll send it off to be replated.

That's what I'm talkin about.

I tried using the muratic acid and it cleaned it up enough to show me that there are two spots missing the NiSi. I brought it to a Husky dealer, whom I know has experience in rebuilding, and he looked at it and agreed that there was missing material from the wall. He felt that there was a possibility of salvaging it. I have honed cylinders in auto engines but not chainsaws. This is not going to be my first either. I might send it out to one of you fellas. My other options are: OEM cylinder and piston is $500....ouch! NOS cylinder and piston is $155. Is NOS any good?

Go aftermarket until you can find a good deal on OEM. Please don't toss that jug though.

Mike NOS stands for New Old Stock. So 155 is a great price on that.

Throw it out :msp_confused: I bet ya that if I went through the stuff you throw out, I would keep something Just today I was rebuilding a BBQ grill for one of my customers and I used a old rubber gasket from a water hose to make it work right! Ya I even keep those old gaskets and today I found a use for it. So no, the cylinder will not get thrown out. If it can't be used on this saw, I will use it as a conversation piece on my coffee table.

rep sent. It would be great to see video of it once you get it back on the wood

I originally came to this site to research large saws for a job I have this fall. I have some large trees that need to come down. My list of big saws is growing. So this video, if I make it, will have a strong line up of stars: Stihl 090, ms650 and, hopefully ported by then, 064. They will be wearing a variety of bars ranging from 20" to 36". Supporting stars of the video will be Efco 156, mac 110, and homelite super 2. It will be a very fun couple days for the guy running them

Good line up, and looking forward to the video.

New old stock is wonderful!!!!!! for 150??? as said before jump on it,,,,, ohh have them send the part# that is molded on the cylinder be fore you commit,,,,, post it up and I or someone else here will check it for you,,,,

I sent the info to the "Mastermind" to have a look. He pointed out the very very fine print (which is also in red color) on the ebay ad for the NOS cylinder and piston. It reads:

"Stihl is a registered trademark and is used only to describe products which this part is designed to fit, this is not a Stihl OEM part".

There was no brand name at all it just said, new nos aftermarket.

That's what I was afraid of. Baileys used to carry a 090 topend for cheap.

 

[sachsmo]

Them old dudes are like the sr71 blackbird,,,,,,,,, 50 year old design, and still unmatched.

Bet that "NOS" is for sure NOT new old stock, probably a chi-com. I think Baileys had 'em on close-out a while back for under $100 bucks.

I've looked at Bailey's. I wish they had that close out now. Back in the eighties I was infatuated with the SR71 blackbird. Now I am infatuated with the 090.
:msp_thumbup:Good comparison!

 

[powerking]

Darn...wish I would have known about the 090 from Bailey's......would have bought a few of them and held on to them for my arboristSite friends!!! I've still got my eye on a potential 090 lead locally....i'm trying!!

Congatulations on a beautiful saw.
