Bought on ebay for what I thought was a good price because it would not start. Owner bought it at an auction from what she said was a professional logger. Received the saw, no compression and no spark.
First thing I noticed is the case does not have the Stihl logo on it. In fact, none of the parts have the Stihl logo other than the plastic with stickers, and the little bracket for the chain tensioner has the Stihl logo. Is this normal or did I buy a Farmetec with Stihl stickers?
Installed new crank bearings. New crank seals. New piston. New rings. New head gasket..............Still no compression.
Pulled cylinder and put copper gasket sealer on head............Still no compression.
On top of that, new flywheel, new ignition coil, and new spark plug............Still no spark.
Banging my head against the wall here. Any suggestions?
