Young man told me last week that he lent out his Stihl saw, when the guy brought it back he said "i do not know what happened but it is stuck". He said sure enough it would not pull over. I told him to bring it over, which he did. When I got it, it pulled over hard, but it did turn over.
The saw is a MS 250
Checking the gas in it, there was no color marker, but it did feel like it had oil in it rubbing the gas between my fingers.
I put some Stihl synthetic through the spark plug hole and carburetor, did not help.
Is there someplace that tells how to take the cylinder off this saw?
Is the cylinder either good or replace it, no repairing it?
If the cylinder does need to be replaced is there something better than OEM to replace it with?
In this situation, what are the chances the rod and crank bearings are still good?
Any other feed back would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
Richard
