My 015L Named Sisu FINNALY RUNS!!

[user 188535]

I'm so excited because my 015 now runs. I was not able to get it to cut or adjust the carburetor because I got it running at around 7 tonight. I can't wait to get her running and cutting tomorrow!

All I ended up needing to do was put the old coil on, and then it ran just fine.

Here are some pics:

Good job getting it going !!

Feels good not giving it away as a box of parts now doesn’t it

Yep.

Thats definitely a good feeling. Probably the biggest reason I restore these old saws is that feeling.

Hopefully you get the gay paint worn off that bar soon.



Good perserverance!

Awesome news! It's fun resurrecting old saws...it's kind of like solving a mechanical puzzle. And now the real fun begins running, tuning, and using it.

Now that I think about it more, I don't think Christine is a really fitting name. I think I will name it Sisu because that's what I needed a lot of to complete this project..

That Stihl master mechanic hat really works.

Yes. And Sisu.

What does Sisu mean?

Google it.

Ah, it means courage,

Ah, it means courage,

And determination, grit, and perseverance.

Sisu is a Finnish expression.
I guess it's appropriate since you did "finnish" the saw.

Well done! It’s a great feeling, glad you didn’t give up!

Joo, Kiitos!

Yep.

I'm glad you got your 015 running but can you tell me if you had the starter casing off how did you get it back on.
I am having an impossible time getting mine back together. The throttle trigger has to go into the same slot in the handle that is also occupied by the throttle lock. Can you suggest how to do this?

It took a LOT of wiggling and wobbling.

This was the first thought on Sisu until my Finnish kicked in. The little girls in the house would be proud their Dad thought of this silly dragon first
