    MS660 storage case?

    I used a similar method to what David Saltas used. My wife wanted the Stihl MS 660 out of the hallway where it has sat since March when I used it to cut some 30 inch red oak up for firewood. I wasn't about to store a $1000.00 chain saw ($1,300.00 with extra bar and chains) in a shed where it...

    new to me stihl 051

    I have 2 stihl 051 AV's. One I bought in the late 1970's and one I bought for parts this year. The manual came with the one I bought in the 70's and it calls for the following settings: H 3/4 to 1 turn open L 7/8 to 1 turn open (measured from the closed position of the adjustment screws...

    Old Stihl 011

    Mine too, the whole tank empties in a week. My MS 260 does the same. I just put a new oil pump (used MS 260 Pro pump) on my MS 260. I'll see if it stops the leak. I did notice when I replaced the oil pump that there was a rubber seal where the intake pipe for the pump fit into the feeder...

    Old Stihl 011

    I have an old Stihl 011 which I purchased around 1978 which I currently don't use and wouldn't run last time I tried. It would run when I sprayed some gas in the spark plug hole. It too leaks bar oil all over my case. Does anyone know how to fix that other than to drain the oil when you put...

    First impressions - Seafoam

    Sea Foam I am a firm believer in seafoam. I started using it about a year ago in my daughter's 1990 Toyota Camry with 176,000 ,miles on it. I knew that she bought gas from the cheapest places she could find and kept the tank almost empty causing condensation to form. The car would die and...

    Stihl MS 260 oil pump--replacing with an adjustible oil pump from a MS 260 Pro

    Thanks to all who replied. I ordered an oil pump conversion kit for a MS260 on line and followed the directions and put a piece of old starter rope in the spark plug hole and removed the clutch. I removed the old plastic oil pump and it indeed was worn out and when you turned the worm gear it...

    Stihl 051 AV I picked up this evening.

    Stihl 051 AVE I just purchased (4 weeks ago) a Stihl 051 AV Electronic off of Craig's list for $75.00. It was advertised for $100.00 in Raleigh, NC and I called the seller up and drove to Raleigh to look at it. When I got there the seller had a Honda generator in parts using the tailgate of...

    Stihl MS 260 oil pump--replacing with an adjustible oil pump from a MS 260 Pro

    Thanks! Can I just cut a notch in the drum? I have a picture of how it looks and could duplicate it pretty easily. giljack (Stihl 051 AVE (2), MS 260 and 011)

    Stihl MS 260 oil pump--replacing with an adjustible oil pump from a MS 260 Pro

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. When I took the clutch off, I had read there supposedly there was something that fit in a notch on the clutch drum but I did not find any notch or wire or thing. I did empty the oil and filled the oil tank with some premixed gas and ran it for a while and...

    Stihl MS 260 oil pump--replacing with an adjustible oil pump from a MS 260 Pro

    I have a Stihl MS 260 that I purchased in 2003. It is not the Stihl MS 260 Pro which has an adjustable chain oiler and a compression release. The oil pump is not oiling the chain very well and if I cut a limb that is greater than 6 inches in diameter the chain overheats. I took the clutch...
