and it was a good looking saw....
and it was a good looking saw....
Thanks allot. He said probably $200 for it, I was thinking it was a little high considering it doesn't really run. He's not 100% certain he is going to sell or not. I will find out soon hopefully.
Obviously not taken care of??
If he's smart.. he'll keep it for parts for his others.. tanks, handles, recoil clutch parts, oiler etc etc.. way over $200...
"lean on starting", pause in accel, or bad idle.. Check the price of new carbs... if they are over 2 years old, 50-50 chance you'll need one.
Whats the reason for needing a new carb?? Can they not be repaired?
Want to bet this ends up on ebay? "needs a tune... won't idle well, runs great. As is... no returns.."
Be careful if it was used in a business I can almost guarantee it had the piss run out of it. I would rather buy saws with low compression for 30-50 dollars and slap a new or used oem cyl and piston on it repair everything and have a cheap prosaw that I went through top to bottom. I won't buy a used saw unless I know the person that ran it. Offer 100 after checking it out.
I just happened to have one of these brought in to the shop on Friday and its the first time for me to work on one. They look like a PITA to work on, its not getting gas so something to do with the fuel lines, will check it over and post findings. The throttle linkage from the carb to the front pivot looks a little hard to deal with so I pushed the roll pin out and dropped the pivot and both throttle rods, hope I can get that back in place later! Will up date tonight.

Guess I should have done it that way bu leaving the linkages in and together but it went back together no problem. The carb was full of crap,screen blocked pretty well, bad pickup filter with a rip in the screen. The impulse line deteriorated,cracked and swollen with no sealing on either end. The rubber gas pickup line was too loose a fit around the carb attaching nipple so there was no seal there. Fixed that for now with a short piece of thin wall tygon on the nipple and pushed inside the rubber line at the grommet through the gas tank. It picks up gas and runs pretty well, I will take it out and cut some wood with it after lunch. If it gives me a hard time with keeping adjustments set up you recommend a new carb over a kit?
Oh I guess I should have mentioned that this is a one owner saw just used around the yard for pruning and small stuff,, it has great comp and not at all beat up., only a little dirty as most homeowners don`t have compressed air and seldom wash there saws off with any kind of cleaner,even soap and water.

All is fine with the 020, it does everything it should, pretty fast little saw in small wood and tree branches 3 to 6". I dles and runs WOT just fine oils good so back it goes to make another customer happy. Are parts still available from the dealers or Stihl for this saw , especially the pre moulded gas line from tank to carb? I would advise the owner that a new one should be ordered if they are available. Thanks for all the info so far. Pioneerguy600
Yup I think all is still availiable. At least the parts I ordered for one was availiable.
