Where in Alaska ?
Where in Alaska ?
5/32 file for that little guy.
If you are asking me where I am in Alaska; North Peters Creek specifically
Where in New Mexico?
Grew up in El Paso, NM was home to most of my kin and my stomping grounds, lived in Las Vegas in the 80s

Albuquerque. I've done a lot of work in Las Vegas, I had a friend from there good food and a cool old mountain town.
One of these days I'll get up to Alaska I've always wanted to see it
I am surprised to see that. I haven't seen 1/4" picco on a saw up here yet, most are .043 3/8 picco on the smaller saws. What's weird is that what I can see of the bar in your first picture is that is says 14" with 50 drivers... that is a 3/8 picco count, not 1/4. Are you absolutely certain that is the correct chain for that bar? Can you get a better picture of the pictogram on the bar?Sorry, but I have to disagree
I have 5/32 setup for my MS-210 with 3/8" Pico chain
This is smaller
From what I can read in Stihl downloads the regular 1/4" uses the 5/32 file but the 1/4" Pico uses 1/8" (3.2 mm)
View attachment 438864
The 5/32 won't even fit in the gullet of this chain
Depth gauge is different too
Rakers should be .018 instead of .026
From what I am reading and seeing this chain was discontinued long ago
Lots of negative because of the difficulty of sharpening among other issues
Thanks

Also, the picco chain on your 210 is likely .050 driver 3/8 picco. The .043 3/8 Picco will look smaller. If it says "1" on the driver, and "6" on the cutter, you have .043 Picco and it takes a 5/32 file. Often times it's tough to get those files into the tooth the first time you sharpen with them, especially if the cutter has been hammered over a little.

There is only supposed to be one screw on that, so you're good to go. Honestly, I have seen lots of saws worse than this. Pop off the clip holding on the clutch drum and remove it. Clean out all the stuff, grease the clutch bearing, and reassemble. Put bar oil in it and start the saw without the side cover or bar. Running the saw at 1/2 throttle you should see oil coming out of the oiler hole within 30 seconds. They don't put out much, so a small slow stream is about right. The oilers on the small Stihl saws are pretty tough and they rarely fail. If the saw doesn't pump oil you will need to remove the clutch. It is reverse threaded and you need to use the correct piston stop to remove it. I like to use CRC Brakleen and compressed air to clean saws up.
Glad you got it going. They get a lot of bad press around here, but those little 180's are actually pretty tough.
