Too bad home depot don't carry Stihl, swap carb and take it back and say it won't run and scared to buy another.

What carb model and number you got?

Steve Sidwell, Samsung On5 using Tapatalk

No clue to be honest. Going to try talking to huztl before I go through finding out the number and all.

No joke. Parts guy said that was, if my memory serves, the most expensive carb they make! Which I don't understand at all. Not even M-tronic. Could be dealer markup, but they have always been really good on their prices, so I pretty well rule that out. The $35 for the carb kit was what got me going. New Walbro rebuild was like $6 shipped on flebay. Stihl seems to think as highly of their replacement parts as everyone who is reselling saws on Cl and such. On another tangent, guy is selling a rear handle 201 for $200. Too good to be true, but even for a possibly new jug it's not a terrible buy.

Now I'm curious enough I will try and remember to ask my dealer

Wanted Plasticoat but no one carry it around here, and if I ordered off the web it would have been even more expensive.

Gotya good deal

 

[s sidewall]

Only problem is that now I've got to take the case apart, pop out the seals. Kind of ife on heating the gas tank/rear handle that hot in the oven, 600° for 30 minutes on the third bake time, 250° and 400° for the first and second bake time, 30 minutes each with 30 minutes cool down between each bake cycle.

Says that you can run engine to cure paint but don't think that saw will get that hot, especially the tank/handle assembly. Crank case won't be that hot either.

Will it work as a glass clear coat on the plastics?

 

[s sidewall]

Doesn't say anything about plastic, might melt it at 250° in the oven, 30 minute bake time.

Goty. I wasn't sure the cure times and temps

 

[s sidewall]

Don't know if it would be gas and oil proof just by letting plastic cook in the sun all day. May have to try it out on something tomorrow and let it sun bake a few days and see if it will hold up. I'll let you know if it's a go or no go. You must want to spruce up a few saws with plastic covers.

Yes sir I've been looking at the krylon fusion clear gloss for the plastic covers but the gas and such would eat through it I'm sure.

Find a b ball gym somewhere to fire it up, that would sound awesome with the echo.

Did someone say Echo?
