I recently purchased a Stihl 076 at a public auction with zero knowledge of its history.I have spent many hours reading about the saw & Milling Attachments here on this site and the woodwork forums and see the 076 is used for milling a fair bit.I cant however find anyone who has fitted a Timberjig to the 076. Any thoughts?
The Timberjig bolts to the saw via the chain securing M10 bolts. My saw has a quickstop chain brake (This was not fitted to the 076 when it was introduced in the 1980s) so my 076 must be one of the last made early 90s. I`m wondering if the chain brake gets in the way of the Timberjig because it extends a good 3 inches away from the body.Any thoughts?
The 076 started 3rd pull using 50 to 1 fuel oil ratio.I know 40 to 1 was recommended when it was sold but who knows.Bit of extra oil might replace the lack of lead in the unleaded fuel. Awesome cross cutting power. Chugging along like an old British MotorBike. Not the high pitch whine like my MS250!
The push pin type chain oiler is boring. Does anyone know how to disable it and make it full flowing all the time.(Apparently this was an option when the saw was made but I dont have a manual to see)
