Hopefully if all goes well tomorrow i shall be going to pick up a Stihl 024 that needs a bit of attention. It needs a sprocket, (unsure what type until i get it as the seller seems like a bit of an idiot!) guide bar, chain and a bar nut as far as i know. The seller says it sometimes doesn't turn off, could this be a loose wire? How do i check that?
What guide bar should i get? Should i get it back to standard with a Stihl Rollamatic or buy a cheaper (£££ wise) bar such as an Oregon or JAKmax?
Also what chain should i get?
Anything else i could do to it? Obviously it needs a clean, which is the thing i am looking forward to the most... I have been thinking of fitting an elastostart, i know it's not necessary, but why shouldn't i?
Here is a pic of it, nothing special as you can see, but hopefully when i have worked a bit of magic on it then it will!
