Couldn't be further from the truth. What percentages are you running on your load? Does the load cell have the same geometry relationship on both saws? 1/64ths" count big time. What was the start compression and post break in? Has it peaked yet? Owning a dyno is one thing, having the years of...

Difficult to say. Many don't make it to 7. Then some that are blessed with good water and luck see ten. On average your at the end of its life cycle.

It looks like dents in the piston where the squish band is. Are those actual dents or the pic not showing clear Are those actual flash melted pot holes?

I was using the new 012av I recently picked up. And wondering if there is a way to get more oil on the bar with the non adjustable oil pump. Seems it gets oil sometimes when I'm not cutting and then it runs all over the shelf or case. I did notice it plugged easily with wood chips. Had to clear...

He should have pics on the cyl by now. 130 I'm thinking no go. As soon as your under 150 I'd have the jug off. What was your H screw at? Anything done to the saw?

Sounds like something simple being overlooked. I would verify tester accuracy if you can. Dump the gas out that you ran on yesterday if its still in there and check it. To check the flywheel you HAVE to pull it. The key only aligns the timing , the taper is what hold the flywheel on. I highly...

When I worked at my fathers shop as a kid it happened a lot. Amazing what you can look over while being frustrated. It almost sounds like the diaphram is shutting the fuel down. Maybe you need a bigger fuel pump for those extra mods..........jokin kinda mood today, can ya tell

If you think you fixed your own bar, your kidding yourself and or maybe got lucky. Did you read the part where the difference was only .003" don't think anyone can true that up by hand or on a homemade jig the way a shop can. It dresses the whole length of the bar and it's only taking off very...

Um, you have to put fuel in the gas tank you know.. Jk,,,,, hope you get it figured out easily

My post it be gone,,,,screen already gone

Cops aren't gonna do anything, it's flipping amazing how they brush small stuff off like this. They are too busy chasing down the 45,000 criminals that ICE released last year.

It's gone already but thanks. And yes it did. I had a hard time testing something consistently to see if it did anything. But I did finally find it would blow the same heavy object about 2 feet to 2 1/2 farther. I didn't notice any rpm change just louder. And a tad more peppy. I mean I can turn...

On my BG 85 blower, I don't get hardly any rpm change when I adjust the H needle. It just kinda makes it sluggish to snappy. Limiters are removed and its 3 years old. This is the first year I noticed the primer bulb acting up. Just wondering if these carbs are like this or time for kit or new...

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, my dealer always wonders what kind of operator messes up the easiest saws.......:D

Your welcome on the bar remedy. Luckily our Stihl shop has a bar trueing device and I already went thru this issue with all the guessing. Glad you have it fixed

I don't see the knock off handle breaking any easier than my fiskars axes. Maybe a wooden version, but only time will tell. Haven't split a ton but enough to say its very easy splitting

Did some more reading and made a call, as it turns out the fuel is GTX not GT, which explains the green color. No ethanol or oxygenated to it . The GT is clear. Just in case someone else comes across it. A link about the different fuels , content and msds sheets. I never knew till today that...

Wow, thanks for the info. I didn't know. It was from a pump labeled cam2 which they said is how Sunoco sells their race fuel at non Sunoco stations. I was under the impression it was unleaded GAS only. So big thanks for bringing this to my attention. Don't I feel dumb now. Heck its green and...

I went thru most of the saws recently and cleaned the fuel systems. I mixed a batch of 40:1 stihl oil and the 260GT 100 octane fuel. Even my temperamental 13yr old FS55 weed whip ran , idled and started much better. I was kinda thinking it was gonna be too much octane for the old cheap...

I'm just throwing out known possibilities for a ring land to chunk out, not an exact cause for sure. Hard to do from one pic. But you can crush a ring land with no other damage from deto. It would only take a drop of water to kill the octane. Like maybe when it was filled from a gas can. How...
