    How can I restore discolored plastic on my Stihl?

    If you want to take the time.. sand them out with wet paper down to about 1200 grit. Then put them on a buffer with brown rogue then white rogue. This will make them shine like new with no need to clear them. JP

    would a chainsaw work if dropped in the water

    I have an 020av that went through a house fire. The crankcase was filled up with water. Emptied it out put a 32:1 mix in it with a good synthetic oil. Fired it up and it runs great though.... I have to find a black plastic top of the handle as its all warped from the heat.

    Anyone ever refinished a bar? paint or sand and polish?

    Not to dissuade you but blueing is actually a rusting process... it does not prevent rusting in the future...

    Porting 101

    First off I stole this picture from Timberwolf's post earlier in the thread. If that is a problem please let me know and I will take it down ASAP. The question is in reference to the shoddy "bevel" on the newer factory stihl jugs. When we talk about not changing the port timing I am assuming...

    MS460 Air Baffle

    Under the air filter on my MS460 there is a baffle that that air has to travel around before it enters the carburetor intake. It seems unnecessary. Is this another EPA addition od does it really help smooth out the airflow into the carb?

    1st port job - MS460

    I have an MS460 with about 10 hours on it that I want to do a mild port job on. The saw currently has 175lbs of compression and .032 squish. I have not measured port timings as I don't plan to change any of that as it is my first port job. I still have the jug bolted to the saw till I get some...

    Case for a MS660

    Has anyone found a case that a 660 will fit in? I searched and it seems some people might have modified the Husky Powerbox to fit one. Anyone have pictures of a case they modified to get a 660 in? I would like to protect my investment in the back of my truck. Thanks, JP

    034 carb on a MS260?

    I just picked up a running ms260 tonight. It is in good shape and will be my first venture into saw modding. I picked it up for $160 with a NIB Stihl bar and RSC chain so I figure it is a cheap venture. The carb only has one adjustment screw and it doesn't seem to have a choke. This does not...
