Hi All, I just picked up a very nice Stihl 025 yesterday. I would appreciate a copy of the service manual if anyone would be so kind as to email me a copy of it. Thanks in advance, and as always I love this website! :smile2: Mark

Danka Logbutcher! Alles ist gut. Thanks for the advise. I was working all day, and then working on the stove all night. I took your advise and it worked well. That rope is difficult to work with the first time, but now I got the hang of it. Let me know when you want to stop by, I'll have a...

Hi all, I am having a couple of problems installing new gasket material on my Dutchwest 2461 woodstove. The problems are that the doors do not come off to work on in a horizontal position so the gasket materiel wants to fall off, and my biggest problem is getting a clean cut where the gaskets...

Thanks for the quick response. Is there a kit available? Is there any certain procedures I need to follow? I have never had much luck working on 2 stroke engines. and can use any available advise. Thanks again, Mark

Hi again all, A few weeks ago, with the help of some of the members here, I was able to get a replacement ignition coil for my Makita DCS520i and it was running great. Now I have yet another problem with this saw. It won't start, or even attempt to. I replaced the spark plug but that didn't...

Thanks for your input about the holes woodsplitta. After a lot of thought I do believe that they belong in the 6:00 position. These splitters were designed to drip a small amount of oil onto the I-beam to keep the wear plate lubricated, so I have installed mine that way. Almost there! My...

Hi, The O-ring is a #425 BUNA N. I bought mine from a company called Sealing Specialties that we do business with where I work, but they should be readily available from any O-ring supplier. www.sealingspecialties.com They are $0.56 each. Good move changing them. Be sure to hone...

Thanks to Scott at chainsawr I am back in the woods! $35.00 and it started on the first pull. Thanks to everyone who replied to my dilemma. There is a lot of great information here. Mark

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!:msp_angry: This part looks like it should be worth about twenty bucks but it is driving me nuts. I wish I had the money to just go out to my local Stihl dealer and buy a new saw. After I get this running I will probably sell it and do just that. So here I sit stuck. This...

w8ye, I can't see the photo. Thanks all for the prompt replies, but the ones that are cheaper are not in stock as I checkout. I would be ok with an OEM replacement in the $60.00 range, just don't want to use an aftermarket part. I am not able to find the eBay one that was $20.00. Can...

Yes Scott, that is correct, just did know the term. Thanks, Mark

No Scott, the coil is completely disconnected and has been removed from the saw. Thanks, Mark

Thook, I have looked everywhere. They are available, but the cost is half the price of a new saw. I did check that website, but they are out of stock. Scottr, It is for sure shorted. I measured another chainsaw coil and the resistance in the low side was 200 ohms, so 1 ohm on mine is a...

Hello Everyone, :msp_sad: My Makita DCS520i developed a problem yesterday. All of a sudden it would not start. I had gas, so much that it was leaking out of the muffler, spark, and air. It still would not run even after I changed the spark plug. This morning I had no spark. I measured the...

Hello all, :( My Makita DCS520i developed a problem yesterday. All of a sudden it would not start. I had gas, so much that it was leaking out of the muffler, spark, and air. It still would not run even after I changed the spark plug. This morning I had no spark. I measured the resistance...

Wow, lots of really expert information here. I might be in the same boat here when I get my Lickity put back together. I'll keep an eye on this thread. Thanks. Mark

Please don't run that motor full throttle and blow it up just because you have an unknown problem. That is not the answer. Sure, you'll split wood, but you will need to re-motor again soon. I agree with others that you probably have a restriction, or a leak. That motor, with a good plug, a break...

I have heard really good things about these Chinese engines. I have a Greyhound 6.5hp from Harbor Freight that I am setting up to run my Lickity Splitter. This splitter was a junkyard find that I am completely rebuilding. The motor was $99.00 so I figured I would give it a shot. There are...

Hi All, This is my first post, but I have been reading and learning a lot here. I am restoring a Lickity Splitter Model 26EK30 that was a junkyard find. It's basically the same as the Model EK308. I have talked to Lowell Webb a few times and he is a very helpful guy. Full of information. I am...
