While were talking about stihls, if you have a pro grade saw some of them have lifetime warranty ign coils.....so keep that in mind if you ever smoke one

I got my two saws I bought on eBay. First is a Mcculloch saw. The number on the bottom of the saw matches the part number for the crankcase and cylinder from a Mac MC75 cart motor. So I'm guessing I got a 123cc saw. It was exactly as described. I haven't looked into it too much.

Second is a Castor CP65. It had a couple small problems not described.

First, the knob on the air filter just spins on the insert in the middle.

Second the oil cap is missing

Also the tensioner is missing, the trigger doesn't spring back out after it's mashed. Also it appears to have a chain brake but I don't see how the handle moves forward.

The recoil spring is bad as described but the saw does seem to have good compression. I rewound the rope and pulled it, it just doesn't rewind. I'm hoping the end of the spring is just broke and I can re-bend it. I'm afraid I'll have to break the knob off the filter cover to fix it.
Do you guys have any opinions on any of this? Thanks

Made in Italy!!--You will get them both going. IF it were easy with no problems every body would be in it.

I like the toy Stihls(even they are pricey) I have 2 of the ertl Poulan micro XXV saws --Both with the pull cords hanging out like some old saws. Held together with rivets--1 day I will open up and repair!!

Yes, yes i do lol but a guy needs a break evey once in awhile right? I got two stihls going under the knife real soon.

 

[LonestarStihl]

Nope bc its not staying got some sucker on the line for it lol hahaha

That ain't no lie. Straight up fact. Sucker for Stihl! Is even consider buying the shell of a stihl they are so pretty lol

 

[LonestarStihl]

Yeh 390 is the earlier version of the 391. Good saw and definitely worth being proud of. I take pride in every saw I have. Even the little 170 . They all have their purpose.

My Poulan is still giving me problems, so I am trying to get it sorted out, I'll be checking the carb adapter tomorrow because they commonly develop air leaks, and that comes from some of the guys in the Poulan thread that know way more than me haha. On a lighter note, I finished the dayton and got chain hand filed
