Use to take them to have sharpened but the old guys have retired or quit and new ones grind them down too much. Figured it was time I learned to do it myself!

First, I made the mistake of loaning two of my Stihl saws to a good friend with new chains on them. Just could not say no even if he ruined the saws as he has done many things for me and family. Well, he must run them in the ground. I need to hand sharpen. I have an assortment of hand files but...

I inherited a Stihl 041 FarmBoss- 20"bar from my father-in-law. I cranked it up and cut into a large sycamore log. Geez, that old saw went through it like a hot butter knife. Sweet running saw. Does anyone know how many cc's this saw is? Was this a popular saw back in its day? Do they make a...

I found a lime green poulan "Super 33" in my late father-in-laws shed. Anyone know what year it may be or is it worth anything???? It looks in good shape but I have not tried to clean it up or fire it up. Thanks

Never Too Many My wife came down into my shop environment and after looking around ask very spitefully, "Well, how many chainsaws does it take to cut a tree down?" My calm reply as I continued working was," Probably the same number of shoes in your closet to go with all your outfits!" She...

I just got over 4 weeks of sure torture to both my forearms cutting through that stuff that grew on a pine tree. I thought it was poison oak rather than ivy. Using the hydrocortosone cream plus calamine lotion seem to help but I thought my arms were going to itch me to death and never heal...

I am looking for a winter project saw say Sthil 066 or larger. Prefer all parts to be there and that the saw needs some TLC such as a carb rebuilt and/or cleaning up. Maybe some of you got a new saw for Christmas and want to get rid of your old one. You can send me a pm. Thanks

Thanks for looking.

Need a couple of Stihl 015 air filters. Even one will do! Thanks

Anyways, thanks very much. Do you know where I might find a couple of air filters for the 015.? Heck, if they are good used ones I would be happy. They are very,very difficult to find.

WOW...your exactly right!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just assumed that most saw settings were 1-1/2 and was standard. I was definitely wrong. I set both of my 015/015L to 1/2 cc on H/L and they started on second pull. I can get the L adjusted but the H bogs down somewhat when reving up to full on the...

No, I did not mess with the flywheel.

Thanks for your input and help...I appreciate you and others very much. I got some of the other Stihl IPLs but unfortunately, I do not have an IPL for a 015.

Sorry to say no I did not replace the check valve. What does the check valve look like, exactly where is it located and where can I get one? I used a compression tester that I ordered from Baileys when I checked compression. Actually, today when I came in from work I decided to give the saw...

Ran it a lot and then it did seem to get harder to start and then finally did not start. The carb was full of grit and really did need a rebuild.

Rebuilt carb on my Stihl 015L. Closed H/L setting, then backed off settings on carb at 1 1/4 turn out on both L and H. There was an LA needle I set also to 1 1/4 turn. Pulled the rope with the spark plug out to make sure was getting a spark. Sparking good. Put about a teaspoon of mix in chamber...

I have rebuilt the carb and got everything back on the 015L. Assembled the trigger assembly back on the saw(attached trigger rod to carb, spring) and ready to go. Now time to put the case back on. I put the spark plug wire through hole and then move the case near the trigger. Hummm, the trigger...

I have a Walbro HDC carb and plan on replacing the diaphrams. Usually the carbs I work on has a screw that holds the needle assembly but this one does not. How do I remove the needle, spring and post unit? Here is a picture I am trying to load of it. Geez, this has got to be simple! Thanks in...

I have one 015L and one 015. I need air filters(maybe the same type filter). Would even take good used ones but must be in really good/usable shape. Thanks
