I'll keep tinkering on it as time allows, I appreciate all your input so far. For what it's worth, I have tried swapping the plug with no success so I don't think a faulty plug is part of the issue in this case.

I removed and inspected the fuel line and the pulse line and did find anything to indicate that they were compromised. I did put it under both vacuum and pressure, both had slow leaks but I still have not found the source of the leak.

It's a Walbro carb, I will look and see what info I can find. Yes, using a Mityvac through the pulse line. I did not see any signs of bubbles at the crank seals but it's losing pressure somewhere, I'm guessing it's between the mityvac and the pulse line at the moment. I need to mess around...

I will check again for leaking crank seals but did not notice any leaks when I tested it. Carb kit was OEM. I don't recall any information in the rebuild kit about adjusting the metering lever height being necessary.

Trying to sort out an 024 I have - 155psi compression, rebuilt carb with a Walbro carb kit, no holes that I can find in the intake boot, fuel line or pulse line, no leaks at the crank seals, no leaks at the cylinder base. I replaced the fuel filter when I rebuilt the carb. I could not get it...

Hey all, old user coming back from the dead. Good to see some familiar names still lurking about. I was on the forum frequently about 10 or so years ago and recently have rekindled my love for saws. I bought an 066 red light crazy cheap about a year ago and against better judgement sold it to a...

I see, sounds like if I put the 1122 790 9101 on I should be good then. Thanks for the info

Bringing this one back, I have an 066 flat top that had a half wrap, a friend have me a Stihl 3/4 wrap off his MS660 (new style) but the chain brake handle hits it and won't disengage the chain brake. The part number on my chain brake handle is 1122 792 9101, was the number 1122 790 9101 above a...

Been a hot minute since I checked into Arboristsite but I'm hoping to get some advice. I recently picked up a pretty clean 066 redlight saw, and in the process of cleaning it up I realized that at some point over the years the wire that triggers the red light has broken off of the coil. Is it...

Does anyone have an 044 oiler that is damaged/unuseable? I need one of the washers off the oil control bolt that go on either side of the spring. All I have for trade at the moment are some misc. 026 small parts (bolts, intake washers, etc).

Trying to figure out why my 044 doesn't seem to be oiling as well as it should and managed to lose one of the small washers that go on either side of the spring on the pump piston. How necessary is this tiny little washer? I guess the good news is I can buy a new one from Stihl but I hate to...

You have to get on the backorder list. That's what I did, 1 month later they called and said "we have your handlebar." The guy that makes them is a 1 man show working out of his garage I've heard. Super happy so far with the USA Made 3/4 wrap on my old beater 044.

Metals406, that looks slick! Tried to rep ya but I'm in jail... nicely done.

I have a chainbrake handle if you need it. You pay shipping and its yours.

I need to get a few things for my new to me 026 pro, then fuel both saws and go knock some trees down. :clap:

I just got my USA handlebar 3/4 wrap for my 044 after being on the backorder list for about 3-4 weeks. I haven't cut with it yet but I have messed around with it in the garage. What I can tell you is this: both bar nuts are easy to get to, even with a "deep well" Stihl scrench The tubing...

Please tell me you squashed the livin' :censored: out of that spider :D

There must be some "secret squirrel" method to start it with the motor running backwards :dizzy: :D

I'd stick with the 18" setup since its already on there myself. 2" isn't going to make that much difference.

The 038Mag2 and an 044/440 are very close in power with the 038 being a tad heavier.
