Looking for Stihl 028 early type chain brake assembly. Brake handle not necessary.

I ordered a bag of high quality rubber o-rings with the exact dimensions listed in the Stihl specs. they have proved to be cheap way of fixing flippy caps with no structural damage. The o-ring may still look OK on a leaking cap when a new one is needed. You can usually confirm the diagnosis by...

Old thread but I thought I'd give my opinion. First, the original poster graciously never planned to seek a patent and posted the design publicly, knowing that it would not be patentable after that. I made my own set out of bolts and metal stock. They worked very well and I used them to seat a...

If I could not get non-ethanol gas, I would pour any remaining ethanol fuel in the saw into a collection can to go into the car. Then I would run the saw dry and pull it over on choke a couple of times. The real problem with ethanol gas is leaving it in the carb and fuel line for extended...

Actually the MS250 has a fairly LOW weight to power ratio: 3.43 lbs/bhp and, at least the earlier ones, is probably the best bang for the buck of the Stihl homeowner saws . . . IF you have the strength for its notoriously hard pull. When Stihl made the 021, 023 and 025, (and the corresponding MS...

When I buy a saw, even a parts saw, if something is not disclosed or pictured to where I could tell there was something seriously wrong, I immediately contact the buyer through the ebay email system and calmly explain the problem and how there was no way from the description or pictures to know...

Here is my last post in this thread: I said I would follow up on this, so here it is. This was the last thing I ever heard from Caber (March of this year). I sent numerous emails requesting any new information on R&D's investigation, but none were answered. I guess we'll never know.

Another long shot. Need a manual for a Lombard model 70 chainsaw. Any other info for this model would be appreciated as well.

What's happening on the right edge of the picture? It looks like someone mended a gouge on the cylinder wall with JB Weld.

Don't see it in the pictures. Is it under the air filter cover? Fuel tank vent?

It's not a chainsaw, but does anyone have a service manual and IPL for a Stihl BG-86 blower?

Thanks for the tip on CCC Racing. I just bought some Cabers from him at as good a price as I've seen anywhere.

Do you know where Kleen-Flo products can be bought in the US? They offer some free shipping, but it's only in Canada. I'm a bit to the south. My quest is for a product that will break down carbon accumulation on exhaust ports.

The ignition problem is a moot point now. With everything cleaned up and tweaked as in previous post, I get a good blue spark. All that's left now is the chain brake question: was the PTO side of the case modified to accept the newer chain brake mechanism? My guess is no. Probably the new chain...

I would really like to be able to make decals, but I figured it would require expensive equipment. What do you use, and do you make any custom decals to sell?

I don't think it's a generator. There is no wire leading to an output to handle or carb (see photos), also no carb heat plate or wires to the handle. The generators have visible rectangles on the edge with stacked metal sheets like a magneto. I've run across one of these circular units like the...

Just started work on an 038AV with a seven digit (!) serial number. The P&C are pristine and the bottom end seems solid. It's missing some chain brake parts (photos 1 and 2) which would be hard to find. My question is: was the PTO side of the case changed when the later chain brake parts were...

Thank you, Matt, for a breath of fresh air. The Caber jury is still out on real vs. fake, but here is the response I got today: Good day, It is all in the hands of our R&D dpt who are comparing your pictures with the same rings in stock and see whether the enlarged sections of your images...

I believe there are two Ford grays. The Light Ford Gray from TSC is the match. This is a farm implement paint so it should be as tough as you can get from a rattle can. When they say it takes 24 hours to dry, they aren't kidding. The only way to get real fuel resistance is with 2 part epoxy or...
