Stihl (not Sthil) Standard Repairs and Troubleshooting Manual (please edit the Title of this thread ?)

Think agriculture. If I plough in a field with my tractor, and the depth of the plough is set differently on my left relatively on the right, have three discs on the left & one disc on the right there will be a tendency to pull skew.

Always cutting as close to the ground as possible & picking up sand or nicking the gravel, would also cause uneven wear on one side of the cutters.

Joke: Son; "I wish I'd listened when my Dad was showing me." Reply; "What did he say & what was he showing you ? " Son; "Don't know. I wasn't listening & I was looking elsewhere !!"

Shill / STIHL MS361 crank tube 😉

The safety issue can be incorporated AND you should also know some "8 ways to fall a tree" before you incorporate; triple hinge, intentional barber chair or snap cuts

Sometimes we inflict our own pain by overheating the chain & then spraying it cool with WD40 or a water sprayer, because GBar is too hot to touch. No wonder we can't get the file to make the right noise, while hand filing. ❓

Progressive Filing System. This attachment has most of the instructions because it is a "system". iow.The chain cutters must be sharp in conjunction with having the depth gauge rakers reduced to the appropriate height. I prefer to start with a kickback UNfriendly chain, and a kickback...

I use the Husqvarna chain sharpener on all my .325 , ⅜P and ⅜" chains. (You need to do a once-off widening touch up with a file & keep it separate/ marked for the .063"/1.6mm width STIHL chains) The only reason I use a McCulloch on the ¼" Universal (same design using a ⅛" file) is because I...

Just like the GBar should be flipped every once in a while, so too the rim sprocket. That way you don't only get longer life & even wear, but also get a chance to inspect the components for burrs, hairline cracks respectively.

If choking was necessary to start a warm engine, your carb might've been set too lean. (More air/less fuel) , BUT your 2stroke oil is mixed with the fuel. Result, more heat generated, less lubrication > tends to high revolutions & engine failure. (worse still if you constantly run out of fuel.)...

There is a compound already discovered, implemented, & outlawed, etc. It's called LEAD (Pb) but because it protects the engines so well it is for your benefit, NOT from sales, retailer's point of view !!

Two stroke Chainsaw engine : Whatever my ratio is is speculative, work it out because the fuel "measured" is according to the reading on the dial at the pump. There are two options : a) rinse the container with the first squirt of gas/fuel and dump/discard it with the fine dirt, followed by...

imo. First do the gullet with a round file for whatever strokes needed, then finish off with only one stroke (two if it's icy cold) with your a) SaveEdge or b) one size larger round intensive cut manual file. Regardless of the filing method used; I would NOT recommend using a chain in a tree...

You also need to check the difference between what is ADVERTISED and what is linked to the SEARCH ENGINE. eg.Here they advertise a 58cc and a 62cc Chainsaw using the 75cc search engine (so because you searched: "75cc powered chainsaw" , are looking for a 75cc THEN you subconsciously ONLY see...

Professor. the "Enquiring Mind" wants to know how things have progressed from the theory into the practice? I have found that hangups are not a problem if you want the tree to strip the other trees of their foliage on the way down AND you don't get hurt in the process. (You might even force a...

I would normally use the trunk for woodwork, but I think the idea of using the branches is great. a) Because they grow densely in a J-shape I'd assume to make the natural railing WHILE WET and tie / tension them on a wooden frame & allow to dry in the sun. (Just like black-wattle natural...

With your feet on the ground - you might not. But, with felling above ground and requiring > 28" guide bar the 120cc engine comes in handy for sure {re. TimberBeast} {Image for demonstration purposes only}

Notice it can't budge if hammered from above (once bolted down) because of the extra two Brass inserts I welded beneath the screw lever
