IPL & Shop Manual for MS260 IPL & Shop Manual for MS260 Thanks ins advance.

Thanks for all the feedback. I do have the part numbers for both style of seals. I'll probably just split the engine and put in new (aftermarket) seals myself. I haven't reassembled the saw; just bolted it together and left the Dirko cure before pressure testing. That's partly why I thought...

I just got done putting a new P & C on a nice little Stihl 025 I stole off of Craig's list (complete with bar and chain for $25!). I reused the old seals but found the flywheel side seal leaking when I pressure/vacuum tested it prior to reassembly. I can’t decide whether or not to break the...

I have a Stihl MS310. I occasionally need to cut stuff that is a little on the large side for my 18" bar, so I looked thru an old Stihl catalog to see how long a bar I could put on it. Catalog said up to 24". Great! Off to the dealer I go. Dealer says, "Nope...20 inches is the...
