    Best online parts company

    What's the best place to order stihl chainsaw parts? I got a little ms260 a while back and decided to get it running. It needs a new fuel line and air filter at the least and maybe a new card/ kit. I see that there are multiple packages from different suppliers that have everything included...

    my 359 broke

    Not really. I looked at some of the clutch drum assemblies I have on some other saws and it looks like the plastic spline has slipped farther down the drum shaft than it was originally. I took the oiler out and the bearing and the metal cover plate and there is still not enough clearance. As...

    my 359 broke

    Yea I have tried opening the cap and that does not work. I always figured they just didnt want to mess with it and I dont really lose that much oil because I wont fill it up more that I think I will use. I tried to press the spline back onto the drum but it went a little crooked so I will...

    my 359 broke

    The plastic part that runs the oiler has sliped part way off the drum and is holding the drum out into the clutch. I am going to put it in the press and see if I can push it back on. The worm gear appears to be fine. While I am at it does any one know why I always lose my B/C oil. If I dont use...

    my 359 broke

    Working off memory here but there is a worm gear under a cover plate behind the drum. I have always assumed that this is what drives the oiler.

    my 359 broke

    I can't actually see the clutch tuching the drum but the drum spins freely until the clutch is tight. Its almost like the drum is not seating all the wa.

    my 359 broke

    Do I need any special tools for springs? Should I take the clutch to a dealer and let him do it? I also need to replace the chain adjuster on that saw.

    my 359 broke

    Well I pulled the clutch and drum off nothing wraped around it. Cleaned everythig and greased the bearing. Everything turns real smooth until I put the clutch back on. Then everyting is tight again.

    my 359 broke

    Would parts from other 350 series saws fit, because I was givin three burnt up 350 somethings last year. I know some people who run dull saws real hard.

    my 359 broke

    the chain would not stop after a cut so I put it back to the wood to stop it. That did not work so I killed the saw and noticed that the chain will not spin freely. When I spin the chain it turns the engine.

    246 wont stay running

    thank you guys. very cool vacum post. i had thought it might be carb related. would it be worth changing the seals since the saw is an older saw and has seen a lot of use? also baileys just shows a new carb, no rebuild kit. im sure i could find one if i looked around some but is this saw worth...

    246 wont stay running

    it will start and rev up easily enough but after 20-30 seconds it dies.this saw ran fine a year ago. its a friends saw and he was using it up until last summer. he told me just to take it and fix it. i could have it if i wanted it, he thinks it's the crank seales. he already checked/replaced the...

    is this how you score a piston?

    I saw a guy rock his chai badly and just keep cutting through a 20ish" piece of oak. it quit cutting but he just kept pushing harder. the almost new 350 never got through that cut it finally seized up. I have two of his saws virtually identicall problem. both basically trash.

    is this legal?

    mabe somebody knows the answer to this. Im not sure what the rules are here. In the Ouachita national forest if your camping I know you can take any downed wood for firewood but I dont know if you are alowed to cut it with a chainsaw or take it home. The tree is actually on the highway right of...

    Help me whip my buddies saw!!!

    not sure if your being sarcastic? but the rakers arent there just for show or kick back control.b they are really what controls your cut depth per tooth and they do carry the trash out of the cut. try it aqnd see.file them dudes down down to nothing. the tooth is only "self cleaning" right on...

    Help me whip my buddies saw!!!

    I know your all sick of this but I read the whole thing and I'v got to say something. no rakers aint as fast as a properly sharpend chain. the rake is what carrys the wood shaving out of the cut. whithout them the chain gets filled with shavings fairley quickly and slowes way down in any tree...

    will a husky cylinder fit a j-red

    Is it possible to put a 268 p/c on a J-red 625 II or would i just be asking for trouble. I have a pristine 268 and a 266 p/c. I was just wondering if it would be a matter of swapping parts or would I be better of getting a 670 p/c. The reason for my question is I have seen the cylinders...
