    Difference between Stihl .050 Gauge and .063 Gauge Chains

    Here in oz 063 is the common stihl gauge unless you're using 3/8 lo pro which is 050. Stihl saws at least-- the others seem to use 050 or 058 in their bigger saws I doubt the big gauge has any advantage more likely a ploy to sell more stihl branded chain

    Husqvarna XP 2-Stroke Professional Oil

    My stihls bg86/fs55--ms250--038. Are about to go on a diet of husqvarna oil as I've got 20 litres of the stuff at a good price I use a lot of 2stroke mix as I have 2 victa mowers also and a lot of lawn victas run 25/1 so that's what the saws get too no danger of stale fuel at least I use 10 or...

    Stihl 064 cracked crankcase...thoughts?

    Common with 064 usually caused by leaning mixture to get more revs from them we used to remove the mixture screwdriver from the tool kit before selling them too many owners thought the more revs they could do the better that was the result later stihl released them with a red light to assist...

    What the owner said and what we often discovered were often very different things had to cover all possibilities:) with the older 064 models especially leaking seal usually meant the owner had leaned out the mixture to get more revs and true they really rev leaned out but they also used to wreck...

    Few Stihl Dealers Have Seal Puller Tool - WTF?

    As I said I worked in a stihl shop if seals were needed I'd be more inclined to open up the engine and at the very least check all internals leaking seals often just a symptom and unless the cause is known and fixed its likely to be a temporary fix I'd not let a saw go out the door unless I knew...

    Few Stihl Dealers Have Seal Puller Tool - WTF?

    TBH on my own saw if seals were needed I'd likely do bearings at the same time there's likely a reason for a failed seal weather bearing movement or something damaging it from outside either way it likely best to do the entire job at the same time if seals leaking who knows what the engine may...
