I have been buying repairing and selling refurbished Stihl saws for about ten years now and have come across a saw that I am having a problem figuring out. I am trying to put a saw together from spare parts from my collection of leftovers. I have a cylinder from the MS 210, 230, 250 series. The...

I am about to pull the trigger on a Raisman piston for a Stihl MS 180. There were a number of previous posts about these pistons but nothing recent. I was wondering how they hold up over time. All input is appreciated = Bill Titzer

I am missing a few parts for this saw due to someone taking it a apart and throwing everything in a box. I have rebuilt a few of these saws and just love their sound running and their low end grunt. I need; The left hand clutch nut, a flywheel key and the top handle. The top handle I know I...

Does anyone have any idea what this thing might be worth. I have a friend that sorta collects saws and he has an opportunity to purchase this saw. It is the 1 hp model. Thanks Bill T.

Try this................ A couple of years ago I was having the same problem. What had happened was I had thrown a chain once while delimbing a tree. Unbeknownst to me I had burred up a few of the drive links in the process of getting my chain thrown. After that every so often whenever the...

Once again I find myself asking for advice. I am hoping you Folks don't mind sharing your knowledge & time. I have an 041 AV w/points & cond. According to my ohmmeter everything is working as it should except that the spark cannot be stopped! The switch is grounding, the wiring all good. I have...

I have rebuilt/restored 20+ Stihl saws in the past and have never even held one of these here Shindaiwas before. A friend(so called) gave me this saw with a few parts missing. I am hoping to find used parts since this saw is not what I would call a collectible. Any help/direction would be...

I had this happen to me w/my 066 The exact same thing happened to me twice w/my 066. Whenever my bar and chain cover would get really compacted and plugged up with wood shavings. It seems that the extra friction from turning the clutch rim in the shavings was enough heat to melt the cage.

I have a number of parts saws that I am trying to piece together and I was hoping for a piece of advice for the one I am currently working on. I was wondering if a cylinder with a 4 hole base will bolt onto a crankcase with 2 holes. It also looks like there is a plastic spacer on the base of the...

To the best of my knowledge................ The chain brake is designed to totally stop chain movement within seconds of actuation. If your chain is still moving I would suggest inspection.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong....... I was at the Stihl Dealer the other day looking at his exploded view of an 026/026 Pro. I believe it said that the Pro used a thinner cylinder base gasket which would give the Pro a slight HP increase due to higher compression.

I have been a member for a while but have not posted much. Great site, Great information! A Co-worker gave me this Saw because it had a leaking oil tank. I took my time taking it apart and repairing it so now I can't figure out where this particular part goes. It's a flat rubber thing with a...

Limitations of Red Cedar I think you need to keep in mind that even though the red part of a cedar log is extremely weather resistant. The white part will rot away.

I havn't checked any of the usual suspects yet. I have also been told a carb. rebuild is a good idea at this time. As well as checking the carb. boot.

My neighbor has seized his 026. We are in the process of locating a kit for it. New or slightly used. Any suggestions for sources would be much appreciated. Thanx for lookin' Bill

OK, 2nd try, has anyone heard of anyone that might have a coil for this thing? Thanks again, Bill

My neighbor has been hanging onto this saw for about 10 years hoping to find a used coil for it someday. Does anyone out there have a Super EZ Automatic for parts? Thanks for looking, Bill Titzer

My apologies for posting twice. I was trying to get back to the directory and hit the wrong button. Thanx, Bill

Not meaning to pee on a parade but, these same photos were posted on the internet approx. 18 mo. ago with the explanation that a pilot had a vintage "spin your own prop to start" airplane when it started unexpectedly. It got into other parked aircraft before it could be stopped. Thanx, Bill T.
