    Broken carb piece

    My throttle screw has a chunk of rubber on it. It's easy to just swap screws. I think all the critical areas of the cover match, and the gasket should work with the minor differences. But I'm also not an expert on these, so feel free to tell me I'm wrong! The main difference seems to be the...

    Broken carb piece

    It's not quite identical on the inside, but I assume the differences are inconsequential. Agreed? Tyler

    Yes, very generous and helpful! Tyler

    Broken carb piece

    Thanks all for the thoughts. It seems like I might be able to pull off a repair, but the better choice, especially for the long term, is probably just to replace the piece or carb. Yes, that model carb appears to be obsolete, but there seem to be some OEM pieces available and some cheap...

    Broken carb piece

    Hey, I was rebuilding the carb for my Stihl 026, a Walbro WT-22B. It was mostly back together, and I managed to break the arm off (ugh, don't ask) that holds the idle adjust screw. See the pictures for the break location. What would you do now? Is that fuel pump cover trash now? Or can it be...

    Best way to tell a chainsaws stolen?

    I know some people are taking the approach that we're not responsible for the seller's actions (such as stealing the saw from a previous owner). But what happens if the authorities find out that you now have the hot saw, such as because you took the saw to a dealer for something and they run the...

    Carb rebuild questions

    Ok, a few votes for going with the WT194. If doing that, do you just go with an aftermarket one (a quick google search shows a complete one on Amazon for $16)? I assume you don't bother with the $100 version from Walbro. Pioneerguy, it sounds like perhaps you pick up used 194s and rebuild them...

    Carb rebuild questions

    I would remove all rubber/plastic before using acetone. If that plastic fuel inlet nozzle can't be removed, then I'm not sure what to do about using acetone (assuming I didn't already mess it up). I'll do a pressure test to see if there's a problem. I assume that's adequate. From don't research...

    Carb rebuild questions

    Hey, I'm rebuilding the carb on a Stihl 026. Walbro WT 22B carb with Walbro rebuild kit. For one, notice how clogged the fuel filter screen is. Doesn't look like anything gets past. The saw ran better than I'd expect based on this. Questions: 1. Do I need to remove the valve jet? If so, do I...

    032 gas tank leak

    Just after I finished restoring my 032, I noticed that there's a very slow leak at the joint between the halves of the gas tank. I've read up on how to repair this with JB Weld (tank is magnesium). My problem at the moment is that I can't get the tank halves apart the rest of the way. Smacking...

    Stihl 025 not even trying to start

    I've used Colortune on an old motorcycle years ago. I wasn't particularly impressed with it, but then again, that motorcycle had lots of "personality" (issues, really). I hated balancing the four carbs, and it seems like they always needed to be tweaked. I agree that Colortune likely wouldn't...

    Stihl 025 not even trying to start

    Agreed. I'd like to look at both sides of the piston and see what were dealing with. Wouldn't be surprised if there's some scoring. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do this in the next month and a half. There just wasn't time last time my dad visited to dig that deep into his saw. Tyler

    Stihl 025 not even trying to start

    Yes, I think that's a reasonable expectation. But I'd think the saw could still run, even if compression is on the low end. If compression was closer to 100, I assume it wouldn't run at all. The condition of the piston is certainty something I'd want to look at in the future. I believe my...

    Stihl 025 not even trying to start

    Yes/no. We ran out of time to keep working on it when my dad was here, so he took it back to his place. We didn't fully diagnose or fix it. After taking it home, he decided to try to start it a couple weeks ago and said it fired right up and worked for cutting some things. Sooo, I'd say that...

    Rate my pressure/vacuum test results

    This is a crankcase vacuum and pressure test on a Stihl 026. The service manual says it should hold vacuum/pressure (0.5 bar of each) for 20 seconds. From what I’ve read on here, it seems like people do something as short as that to up to 20 minutes. Not sure what the “right” answer is, so I...

    028 Crankcase Pressure Test

    I’ve used this successfully a few times, although I use gorilla tape (a little more sticky). You need to remove the rubber boot and clean the opening where the tape will go well (I use acetone). The tape alone will hold pressure/vacuum for a minute or two on its own if you have a good...

    Looking for a workshop/repair manual for a Stihl 026, if anyone would be so kind. Thanks, Tyler

    Stihl 032 AVE rebuild

    Ok, I got the saw outside today to do the final tuning and put it through it's paces. It started easily, and I proceeded to adjust the idle, L, and H screws. It holds idle easily, jumps when I pull the trigger, and cuts like it should. I was burying the 20" bar in a 22" log, and it handled it...

    Stihl 032 AVE rebuild

    Yes, this model has a brass bushing. However, everything turned freely in the assembly, especially after I cleaned it a bit last night. The issue appears to have been that the spring was disconnecting from the rotor Regardless, I disassembled the entire thing and cleaned it all up. The spring...

    Stihl 032 AVE rebuild

    Ok, I got the chainsaw outside during a 10 minute pause in today's rain. It started right up (with the fuel line now attached). After a few seconds warming up, it held idle easily for over a minute (granted, it was idling too fast, as the chain was spinning a bit). It was pretty responsive when...
