    Stihl MS 660 Big Bore First Video and Post Mortum

    660 resurection... I put the crank case together today and installed the new Baileys BB piston and cylinder, along with the aftermarket crank. I checked my squish and with the Kits base gasket installed I have .029" of squish. The jug has only had the transfer ports pointed towards the...

    Stihl MS250 Too High of Compression?

    Now its happening to me!!! Ok. This is how my life goes. I had a large petrified maple to block down today and chose to climb with an MS250 with low miles. This is one of my saws. I was curious about the compression and just grabbed it. It always cranks on the first pull, but, OMG that thing...

    Who uses seafoam in their fuel?

    Mark, Forgive me for fanning the flames but after looking back over the posts here I guess I missed the saw failure discription. Could you review the carb problem for me? Seafoam can be used in many different ways and in conjuction with spraying through the H/L needle ports can solve some...

    Stihl MS250 Too High of Compression?

    Thank you for the responses. I agree the saw runs great, but when your helping old men with ideas of their own its hard to say I wish I had 190 pounds of compression. The oil tank statement is interesting. I can see where that might up compression if it made it up onto the rings. The muffler...

    Who uses seafoam in their fuel?

    What to do with old fuel. If I understand your question it looks like your looking for an addative to help the fuel store longer. I have used gallons of seafoam and it is a great cleanser for the fuel system, it can help with ice and water also. We here in NC have little access to fuel...

    Stihl MS250 Too High of Compression?

    Has anyone ever seen a stock MS250 or any stock stihl with 190psi of compression? The saw is about 2 years old, light use. The piston and rings are very shiney. No carbon on top or on roof of cylinder. The exhaust is black but no build up. The exhaust side of the piston is a warm gold. Stihl...

    Stihl Chainsaw Service: Restoration or Repair?

    031 New approach... I had a well used 031 today with decent annular bushings and chose a new approach to the service. The saw would not rev, and sputtered, and when carb was adjusted the results were always different. I did my 1 hour overhaul with points adjuatment and confirmed the...

    Stihl MS260 Filling Jug With Gas

    I found the failure and it is fixed. :blob2: I found the cause. The film sheet on the metering side if the carb was sucked in and had a tiny crease in it. The cause was wood fibers packed into the passages that I can only assume were sucked in through the crease. Nothing was in the screan...

    Update on the new build. Well I received the new BB kit quite sometime ago. Bailey's was prompt and on the ball. Now I am waiting on the cases, oddly no word on the backorder. More to come...
