    Stihl BG85 pissing fuel

    The tank not venting would make more sense. I replaced the carb with a Stihl part last fall

    Stihl BG85 pissing fuel

    I last ran my old Stihl BG85 blower in October and now it’s mid March. I took it off the hook, and about a half cup of raw fuel pissed out of the exhaust. Had to pull the plug, and heat it up for it to pull over. What would cause this? Is the gas just leaking past the rings while it sits un used?

    Jonsereds saw. Any ideas?

    There’s not a number on this thing. Does anybody know what model it would be, or where to look for a hidden number?

    McCulloch 740

    How much would you guys pay for this old dog? It’s in my local classifieds in non running condition. The dude wants $350. Seems like way too much, but I like the saw.

    Strunk!

    Just picked up this little gem from a guy that has had it since his junior high school days. (50 years) it's a 1955 or '56 Strunk Speedemon all position. He was from Northern Michigan but brought it out west when he moved to Utah. It last ran in the '70's but I'm hopeful to get it singing again.

    Stihl dealer withouts parts or service

    Don't forget to close the account after you pay it off. I messed up my credit score pretty good years ago for getting 10% off a $75 dollar item at sears, then paying it off in full thinking I was pretty slick. The account remained open for years Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Stihl 261 air filter questions

    This pile of fine sawdust is what got past the prefilter but was stopped by the twist on filter

    Stihl 261 air filter questions

    I ran my saw for about 5 hours yesterday and the pre filter seemed to catch a lot of really fine stuff. I ended up cleaning it half way through the day and this is how it looked two hours later.

    Stihl 261 air filter questions

    I got the pre filter in the mail today. Looks like it's high quality stuff. I got the racing orange too. Hahaha It takes a fair amount of wiggling and twisting to get it seated on properly, but I'm good to go. Ready to cut! Thanks guys.

    which Stihl trimmer for grass and brush clearing?

    I have the km-130 and like people say, it is a monster. The power is nice when you need it like when edging or using the pole saw, but I think if I were to do it now I would most likely buy the two stroke pro grade KM-94. Just regular string trimming, the km130 is too much power and too much...

    Stihl 261 air filter questions

    I cut mostly pine and aspen. The saw is always sticky with pine pitch mixed with bar oil and sawdust. What do you guys use to clean everything up? I ended up just soaking a rag with carb cleaner. Maybe gas would do it too.

    It's really easy to blow a hole through the paper media, easier for fine particles to defeat
