    Difference in 024av wood boss and 024 super

    I am not worried either Thanks--that is helpful. I was given a decent 024av with bad crank. Piston and cylinder look very good. I would like to find a used case with crank and just transfer parts instead of splitting case and replacing crank. I have found some at a good price but don't want...

    Difference in 024av wood boss and 024 super

    How can I tell the difference in a Stihl 024 av wood boss and the 024 super cases with crankshaft? It is my understanding that the clutch side of crank is longer. Can I tell from serial number.

    Installing clutch Jonsered 630 Super II

    Most all saws I work on, have chain brakes. My usual way of tightening clutch is to let the saw do the job. I do this a little different in that I just snug the clutch tight, install the cover with chain brake using flat washers in place of bar, or install bar, apply brake and start saw. I then...

    sthil 026 rebuild gone wrong

    If a crankshaft seal has a total failure (like blown out), saw will not even pop regardless. I have seen this in many two strokes. I do not feel that if seal was just leaking it would have this effect, but would certainly have start an run problems.

    Stihl MS200T Strange Running Condition

    I would go through carburetor to be sure it isn't stopped up. Also check fuel line, impulse hose and tank vent.

    Echo cs-590 VS Stihl ms310

    I could sell the 200t and pick up a new echo cs355t...... I have a really nice CS355T. Any interest in trading the 200T? If so, send me a PM

    MS200T AM Piston-Cylinder Clearance too tight?

    I build a lot of 200t and I have seen melted intake boots in about three saws. I use some aftermarket parts but no longer use the aftermarket intake boot, for this reason. Actually seems to be more plastic then rubber. I only use genuine OEM-- Meteor--or Caber on internal parts. From my...

    Echo CS-330T won't run. Timing off?

    What are you calling "base seal" ?

    Echo CS-330T won't run. Timing off?

    I have rebuilt many of these CS330T. 185PSI compression is not uncommon for a low hours saw. All have been close to this, so with 125PSI, you have a problem. Some will start and some will not. Something else to check would be crank seals. I have seen at least two with sprocket side seal pushed...

    Stihl intake boot

    Thanks Steve, may I ask why you used a steel clamp?

    Stihl intake boot

    I only use new or used OEM parts on inside the Stihl 200t that I rebuild. I have a couple ready for intake boot and top handle replacement and they both need rubber intake boots. Rather then buy new for about $40 or wait for a used one, I thought I would ask if any of the aftermarket boots are...

    Some designs that could be better

    What about the poor design muffler on Stihl 192 and 193? Nice to have a muffler that melts side cover!

    Stihl ms200T

    Are the Chinese replacement for the Stihl ms200T rubber intake boot, any good? Someone told me they would melt sometimes when they get really hot.

    Strange thing about Echo CS355T Chainsaws

    Strange thing about Echo CS355T Chainsaws

    Most of my chainsaws sell within a couple of weeks. I deal mainly with Stihl 200T and sold four this year for close to what they brought a couple of years ago. So, the market in my area, for these saws, has not changed. If I was in the market for a top handle chainsaw, I would definitely...

    Strange thing about Echo CS355T Chainsaws

    I rebuild and sell a lot of chainsaws. I can usually get about $185.00 for a really nice Echo CS330T. I had a professional arborist trade two CS355T in on a really nice Stihl 200T and one Echo was seized. He stated he used the same fuel mix as used in other saws and this 355T seized and warranty...
