Stihl MS390 spitting bar oil everywhere...

[Mike Kunte]

Thanks, Chris!

Agreed. But it's a genuine 0.063...

I'll keep at it!

@Harley,

Do you think my brass plug fell out, or did mine perhaps come out with no plug? If it's a problem, I could machine a new plug.

Here is the current ipl, and one of the later model pumps.

Thanks, Harley!

That's exactly what I wanted to see! The question I have is: why put a double o-ring seal on the flow rate screw, unless you're expecting oil there?

Do you think it could be leaking from this unplugged hole? If so, is it possible to extract the plug so that I may see the design and copy it?

I see there are 2 drive screws (parts no 4 & 5). Could you give me the description of the parts?

Thanks for all the info!

#5 is indicated as "previous model" and it has a ref to a tech bulletin 60.2006. So the bulletin came out in 2006. Unfortunately, it doesn't come up in the file, so I cannot attach it or read it.

The difference between these 2 pump pistons is that the new one runs in a bearing bushing made from sintered metal. The pump piston and the pump housing were modified to that reason. The new pump piston can only be used with the new pump housing.

Great, thanks! So I take it mine is NOT missing a plug then?

Sorry, I don't know about compatability/interchangeability. I do have an old 029, but I don't want to disassemble it for this thread. I'll sell you this one for $30, if you want.

 

[Mike Kunte]

Thanks, but have you checked my location?

 

[HarleyT]

I haven't shipped anything overseas for a few years, I'll see what it would be.

 

[HarleyT]

Looks like $13.25

You can ship a whole 029 to Africa for 13 bucks?

We are talking about an oil pump. The old 029 has the older style pump, like what he has.
I won't go on, you can read the thread if you desire.

 

[Mike Kunte]

Ok, got the o-rings. Let me try to see if it works. If not, we'll look your option.

Thanks again!

What part of "I don't want to disassemble" am I reading wrong???

And here is the one that I offered to sell him.

 

[HarleyT]

But you could just read the thread........

 

[Sepia]

I know we both speak english, but we definitely went to different schools. I don't see anywhere in the thread where you offered to sell an oil pump - just an entire saw for $30. Or perhaps when you mentioned "this one", that was cryptic for the oiler, even though you were talking about your old 029.

I need to hone my mind reading skills obviously - carry on.

Sorry, I didn't craft my posts better.
