Maybe the part about it killing the engine was a fib, I forget where I read it.

The electrics according to Stihl have too much torque for the chaos and they won't work to stop the chain.

Backordered badge came in today. Actually looks a little more like a genuine Stihl now.

Has anyone used the axes yet? I was without a smartphone for almost 2 weeks and had to speed read everything said on this thread. I have not used the Fiskars x25 yet but heard it's the time of year for easier splitting by hand.

Guess who didnt listen about taking there back injury easy, guess whose back and left hip is messed up, guess who has a fever to boot, AND guess whose pissed about all three?

I can get this for about $140 shipped on the Facebook chainsaw repair page. It's all SP125 parts. What do you guys think? I probably would try to sell pieces individually. The guys robbed a nice complete saw for some parts for his 101B cart motor. Or would this be too big a risk or not enough money in resale value.

Looks like he stole the rotating assembly, out of it, I would buy it and get a rotating assembly for it off ebay and I'd rebuild it. Looks like it's in good shape otherwise

I think the handle I did for mine was a 36

That sounds like an interesting idea. Does anyone know if it shares a crank with anything else?

If you want to contact the guy and get it from him. I don't mind. I know you've been wanting one. I've got enough projects as it is.

It might share a crank with a sp105

Actually, it's also missing the flywheel, flywheel side fan backing and the flywheel cover, as much as I hate to say this it would be best off as parts

 

[astnmacgto]

Still more than 140 bucks in parts I would think, especially if the bore is good
