Have you tried soaking the carb overnight in cleaner, after a complete disassemble, I mean complete.

If you have, might be cheaper to get one from the Stihler than all the headaches and problems you are having.

Are you running that cylinder or have you replaced it, if replaced, did you have tuning issues before the cylinder took a crap.?

Sorry for so many questions but it helps to try and sort things out. I'm the same way at work when I'm given a auto to work on.

You know I'm no longer capable of wrenching but I always try to let you addicts know about good deals. Just never seems to be anybody in western PA or OH that wants them.

Same cylinder and same carb. I may have a compatable carb kit I can throw on tomorrow and see if it's carb kit. Really don't want to buy an oem carb if I don't have to. Especially since my am carb for my 017 has worked so well so far. I believe how I scored the cylinder was from running out of gas when I was cutting last and not from tuning. Although if I keep on tuning it this way, it will be because of tuning it so lean. I don't mind the questions because it helps me get to an answer. Thanks guys!

Can't blame ya there. However, if it's a good buy on a running saw I am a prick, I buy it. lol Drove 2 hrs one way for that 6401. Would have been really bummed if guy hadn't held it for me.

Or it had been a basket case.

Superb. Thankyou Very helpful.
Below is a photo of the Pioneer 3071 at TDC. and a Huskvarna replacement coil.
The gap between the magnets on the flywheel are in-line with one of the mounting screws for the pickup-coil. which makes fitting the usual horse-shoe shaped ones tricky. I've also, I have found a pickup coil for the Huskvarna 340/350 (and others) and it looks much like the one in your pictures. It looks like a close-fit. If I use the fixing-hole closest to the flywheel. and make-up a bracket / plate for the other mounting hole it may just work. How fussy was the timing on yours?

 

[Just a Guy that cuts wood]

I marked mine at TDC than marked the old magnet pickups so when I started placing new I knew I would be close.
this pic is from another repair not mine but it gave me a starting point

 

[S_Bluck]

Yes, that's it. I will try that modification. I think I will make up a stronger adaptor-bracket for the back fixing screw though.
But at least it looks like that pickup-unit will do the job. Many Thanks

Well guys got another project on my hands.

Poulan 335 that had the crank bearings come loose from the crank and it pulled the flywheel into the crank seal.

It's getting a full rebuild....

Piston and cylinder are fine though

 

[s sidewall]

Easy project for a change.
