Hi everyone Been a while since I've had to come here for help. I have a Stihl MS260 - that runs and cuts, but I haven't been able to find a good solid setting on the carburator. The carburator is actually almost new, original walbro. The saw is from 2011 - not overly used, and in good...

Hi everyone. Yet another saw on the bench. A Stihl ms181 from 2014. No idea of background on this. Just would not run correctly. Took the engine out, looking at the piston I can't make out if the piston is original or not. It looks kinda dodgy to me, in the bottom part. What do you...

Hey everyone I need a hand here, finishing up this old Stihl 064 AV. Finally made it run, took a lot of work. I had to order a new complete clutch for it, and it came with this cover washer, that sits behind the clutch, on top of the oil pump worm part. The saw did not have this on, when I...

Hey everyone I need some help. Working on a Stihl MS361 - it won't run as it should. I changed - fuel line, pickup filter, impulse hose. Cleaned out carb and new diaphrams etc. Tried other carb, from working MS361 - worked better but still dies in idle, and sometimes just cuts off. The...

hi everyone Got myself a used Jonsered 2165, needs some work, a lot actually. And to try and save myself some money, I could extend the "broken" wire on the ignition coil. The wire has broken off about 2-3cm, making it too short to reach the spark plug correctly. Can I just use a solid...

Hey everyone Got myself, another Jonsered 2152, bought cheap, so problems were expected, sadly this is caused by a serviceshop or a previous owner being bad at putting stuff back together. Anyhow, see pictures. That is a clear hole in the buttom of the oil tank, caused...

Hey Everyone Been a while since I posted last - and this one time it is not about a saw not working or repair issue :eek: Anyhow - I mostly do repairs, but I do run my MS260/61 and M361 for firewood each year. We work in metrics here, so it is around 15/18 cubic meter each year. I am...

Hey everyone Got a mystery case on my hands this time, and I need some help solving it. Friend of my family has a an old Stihl 024 - from 1992. It starts, but when put to wood it "won't rev and stalls or runs poorly". (his words) Short story. The saw was given to him for free, way back, he...

Hi everyone Got myself a fine Husqvarna 254xp - but after making it run well etc. I can't seem to figure out why the chain comes loose. The rim sprocket is fine, almost brand new. Chain is brand new. Bar is...used but not worn out. The chain tensioner system, screw, nut and rubber thingy is...

Hey Everyone Got myself a Jonsered 2250S on the bench, uses a spur sprocket/drum. I'd like to change this over to a rim sprocket instead, are these interchangeable? See pictures attached. Spur sprocket/drum is the original from the 2250S - the rim sprocket/drum is from a Jonsered...

Hi everyone Doing some repairs on a Jonsered CS2152, and the saw has a damage on the clutch side metal part. See pictures. It is down near the AV buffer. It doesn't seem to get any real load on it, even when trying to pressure the saw into wood etc. but, what are your thoughts here? Will it hold?

please delete if possible :)

Hey everyone Rarely do I have to completely put down a saw and give up. So long story short. Used husqvarna 353, bought cheap, no history on it, only that it would not run. I do the usual tricks. Check fuel lines Clean carb and replace diaphram etc. Check impulse line Check piston looks...

Hey everyone Got myself a used and very nice looking Jonsered CS 2159 - with a Walbro 199a carburator. It was sold because of a broken off switch and some unknown carburator issues. Anyhow, I opened up the carb to find that someone had been fidling with it. Putting double gasket on both sides...

Hey folks Got my hands on a used, and sadly a little abused jonsered cs2252, model with electronic carb. Got it running again, but noticed, among other things that it has a broken fin, at the top of the cylinder, near the spark plug and decomp valve. See pictures. What is your take on this...

Hi everyone Got a guy selling a Jonsered chainsaw, but he says he can't see what model it is. He lives miles away, too far for me to go check it out, so............. Can anyone identify this Jonsered saw, from pictures? :) See attached :numberone: :bowdown:

Hey everyone Trying to figure out if my Stihl 029 from 1995, is missing the cover washer that sits on the oil pump, and heat deflector behind the muffler. Or if my 029 is just an old version, born without those two things. Thanks to this sites awesome members, I have the IPL, but it shows...

Hey everyone Got myself a Stihl 029, needing to fit new piston rings and piston etc. Struggling a little, it needs a clamping strap, Clamping strap stihl nr. 1127 893 2600, but I don't have that. Anyone got a good "DIY" tool for this? See picture for how it looks. Thanks for all help!

Went out to help an old friend and after having spent some hours cleaning out a lot of stuff from his workshop etc. The guy pulled out these 3 and asked me if I wanted to take them off his hands. :clap: Partner P70 McCulloch double eagle 57 Partner 490 Fun stuff, really looking forward to that...
