Pop has a 031 that Gpop found on the side of the road in the late 70's early 80's. It was a great saw, quite the bear If I remember. It has since seen better days and a few parts were salvaged to fix up our 026. (mostly just screws and bolts.) The engine has difficulty starting, (Starts once per 100 pulls or so and peters out quicker than a politician in a truth telling contest).
Is there anyone in the NE PA, Southern Tier NY area that would reccommend a place to take it. I do have a Stihl Dealer in town, but i figure that this would be the place to dig up more information.
Any help would be awesome. (If I can get it fixed up reasonably, I can have it.)
Also, our 026 will start, runs like HECK, but will cut out if you take your hand off the throttle for more than 8 seconds. I am not a motor guy, but would be more than glad to figure out the land of small engines in the quest to acquire a few "Fixer uppers"
