On the Stihl platform that the picture is on, the impulse line nipple is right there. If you keep a plug in it, block off the intake and the exhaust, you can pull through the impulse on some heads. Jason

Welcome to the site... You have a 6401 with a 20" stock set up. Nice start. The trees you mentioned, are you taking down trees, and dragging them, or are you cutting them on site where they fall? On a 20" bar, I buy full chisel 72 link chains. When I had a 6401 before the...

Well in an answer about Welch Plugs... I have messed up a few carbs thanks to those... The reason they make Zama and Walbro tool kits is to prevent people from taking picks and small boring tools and prying off the plugs. It's amazing what happens when you pierce through them and don't stop...

Impulse Tube Hi There: I too had a basket case 036PRO too. Fun saw, actually my favorite round the yard stuff... If the fuel line, and fuel tank vent are fine as you say, then I would check the impulse tube on that saw. They tend to disintegrate on the 026's and I think the same can be...

To be serious though... Rather than tag onto a 6 year old thread that has nothing to do with your post, start a new one. Please describe a little better the problem... Jason And welcome to AS

Well it's obvious... The problem is clearly that the saw has been sitting for 6 years, and the gas is old...

That is a good question. You (THE ORIGINAL POSTER) RUN a lawn care business and need to have a saw to "fell" some trees. since I don't think you are talking about using a bucket truck, or a skidder, I figure you must mean some celan ups, and occasional clearing and whatnot. The reason I...

Those mini plugs have just come down in price. I noticed that they were a lot more money this time last year, all the smaller cc 2 strokes had them (RDJ7Y/DJ7Y) from Champion and finally the tiny "Torch" plugs. I put Bosch in everything that leaves the shop, other than the mini plugs, and...

I did put one together once 180 degrees off, meaning that if you put the clippy thingy exactly backwards, it doesn't retract properly when you are letting the recoil do its' recoiling. I know that isn't scientific, but that's all I remember. However, you should be able to see it does its'...

I share your state with you. I can tell you that most of our Foresters around here have walked most stands, and there is a chance that someone in the State has already walked it and can tell you a lot about it. Especially the wetness factor. I know we all want to get in and out quick, but...

Have to agree with Slowp about suspenders. I wear cutting pants (kevlar type), I have both summer and winter insulation levels. They are comfortable, and I can cut all day in them. I use different gloves depending on the application. Straight up falling, falling gloves (cotton, thin)...

This is where the line get VERY blurred. Illegal, in many cases, actually Yes. Enforceable; only if there is a problem. That is where the line gets hazy shades of grey.

Hi Norm: I know what you mean. My heart sank too when I bought my first 2100. Ran good, got some parts into it. Realized that it wasn't any faster than my 288 at the time, and to be honest, I didn't know what I was expecting. I think I was expecting miracles then. I was pretty new to...

That is my point, one doesn't know by a picture alone. Metal tagged 066, I was just shootin from the hip... Jason

Nonetheless, it's a "brand new" saw. Still old, but not a classic. We can argue until we are blue about the build quality of newer versus older, but it doesn't change the fact that it is an older saw. I own a 088. It is not that old at all. Luckily, it is new enough to be supported by...

I read the post from SPUDULIKE, and he is right on. You said you were a newbie to this so here is some other questions. Is the saw yours from the start? Did someone rebuild the carb recently? When gas starts flowing every which way, sometimes the gasket were put in backwards. I agree...

I agree, and I would stick closer to the $700 mark for a 15 year old saw.

I have found that most of it has to do with if the pawn shop has a web-site or not. If they do, you're done. If they have another location, you're done. If nothing has a price tag, your doing better, but you would be better off covered in saw chips and oil then you nice clothes. And...

I would have to agree with the OEM piston and cylinder set. The thing that surprised me though with the 026/036 is how inexpensive the OEM seal/gasket sets are. I was expecting a lot more than they were, and they have the crank seals with them. In all seriousness, you are looking at $100 for...
