    Stihl 020avp carb question...

    Not sure what you mean by a circuit diaphragm. There have been many variations of carburetors for this saw over the years. The only diagram that I have is for the WT-15A. On one side of the carburetor is the metering diaphragm. This is behind the plate with four screws. On the other side is...

    MS 201T Carburetors

    I know of at least three carburetors that have been used on the MS 201t, but I don't know what the differences are. Can anyone help me on this one. Also why did they change the linkage on the new performance kit? S188 S214 S283

    Use of Stihl Flippy Caps for Dummies

    Any advice for making those flippy caps easier to use especially the one on the chain oil supply. I know there is a little pointer to line up but I seem to have trouble finding it when I have not used the saw for awhile.

    Best chainsaw grinder

    I have a Stihl USG. I also have a Maxx grinder. The HOS has a fixed head whereas the USG allows you to adjust the head. I just received the USG so I haven't assembled it yet. I can tell you this about it though. It does not come with a light whereas the Maxx has a built in light. The USG...

    Edge and Engine sells a Forester CBN wheel with a 12mm arbor that will fit the Stihl USG grinder for $99.95. They sent me an e-mail stating that they can supply me with the wheel.

    Need help for correct grinder angles for stihl chains

    I agree. I don't think there are too many Stihl dealers that use the HSG grinder and follow these angles with all the precision shown in the charts. The subtle differance it makes is probably not worth all the extra effort.

    Need help for correct grinder angles for stihl chains

    I am making the assumption that the tilt is replicated by sliding the vise table away from the high point of the wheel arc causing one side of the tooth to be ground deeper than the other. No one has told be this, so I may be wrong. I am relying on all you AS experts to set me straight on my...

    Need help for correct grinder angles for stihl chains

    Thanks Philbert for the Oregon Chart. One thing I didn't realize is that Oregon uses 55 degrees and 50 degrees on their chains. I had been using 60 degrees. The USG chart is not that confusing if you follow "Lakeside53's" advice from above. (I sure miss Lakeside53 on this forum). If you...

    Need help for correct grinder angles for stihl chains

    Did you mean semi-chisel? Is there any other chart besides the Stihl USG chart that addresses Stihl chain? I was able to verify the 30 degree angle, but it is difficult to verify the others?

    Need help for correct grinder angles for stihl chains

    From the replies shown above, I would assume that the angles would be as follows for the new Stihl Picco Super 3 saw chain (PS3) Wheel Head Tilt --- 50 degrees (90-50 = 40 degrees for Stihl USG) Vice Angle --- 30 degrees Vice Tilt --- + or - 15 degrees

    What exactly did you do to your 201t?

    Advancing the Timing

    My thoughts about advancing the timing mainly relate to my new MS201t. When Bsnelling advanced the timing by filing half the key away on a MS201t it made great improvements to the saw.

    Spun my first loops of chain, what do you think?

    I have found that "Treestuff" a local sponser here also sells the "presets and straps" and don't hit you as hard on the shipping. I have been re-using the straps. Any reason not to?

    Clutch Removal - Near Miss

    So what you are saying is that you cut a chunk of nylon plate that is about 1/4" thick that can slide into the exhaust port, being slightly less than the width of the exhaust port. The length of the piece is such that it smaller than the diameter of the piston. You then rotate the crank so...

    New to me tool

    Too bad the Bridgeports are not made in Bridgeport any more. I go by the old plant a couple times a week. They just finished tearing down the buildings.
