    Stihl 041 clutch

    May not be your first choice but you can find that Stihl part number listed on Ebay. May find an NOS part or an aftermarket seal. I ordered seals for my Stihl 040 from Ebay.

    Stihl 041 clutch

    Stihl made a clutch removal tool/wrench for the 041. I have had one since purchasing an 041A/V in 1968. If you go to the internet and look up Stihl 041 clutch removal tool it will show pictures and EBay has many for sale. The tool also fits other saw clutches.

    What Stihl saw is this

    The 040 was a one year run and I do not believe there were any AV models or electronic models. Maybe 041 AVE. Would like to know piston size and displacement.

    Are OEM Tillotson HL 147 B carb kits still sold

    There is a cross reference chart on there site. Getting direct from them in Ireland is no cheap on shipping but I usually order multiple kits for various saws when I order.

    Stihl S10 fuel issue

    Good info thanks. I will start with carburetor. Piston may be more difficult as this S10 is an early 44mm not the later more common 47mm.

    Stihl S10 fuel issue

    I have a Stihl S10 top handle with a HL 166B carburetor. Saw has compression of 140. Saw starts,idles and revs but while doing this fuel will come out past the choke butterfly and run into the air filter. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this.

    Early 08S Clutch Carrier Removal?

    The service manuals all show a tapped carrier which you use the special removal tool. I am guessing this is the first time you have taken this saw apart and if so is it possible that the last person who put the saw together put the carrier on backwards with the tapped holes to the rear. Only my...

    Tree Roots Causing Problem for Cement Driveway

    I would agree with the first comment.It appears to me that there is bad soil under the cracked area. Moisture,poor soil and insufficient compaction most likely caused the cracking not the tree.

    Stihl 041 TuneUp

    Just remove the flywheel. Once removed you can see where the kill switch lead is attached. Remove the nut and remove it. The lead goes through the case. Connect the new lead to the old and pull through the case. Connect new lead. Do not move anything else under the flywheel or you may mess up...

    Stihl Contra Info Sharing Thread

    The time frame you stared is about right and I believe the filter socks came with the saw but you don't see to many of them. I worked on one with low compression and after taking it apart the piston and cylinder had no scoring but the chrome was coming off the cylinder(there are some pictures in...

    Question about solid oak pillars...

    I will make my last comment on footings. My initial comment is based on experience from years with Army engineer units then residential construction and finally a city building inspector. I've worked on and have seen various structures similar to yours and they have all had footings or pile and...

    Question about solid oak pillars...

    I know your question was about the oak but I would have some concern about the concrete patio. How thick is it? If it is a standard patio about 4 inches thick you are putting a petty substantial load on it. There should be some type of footings under the pillars. Maybe you have already...

    Stihl lightening

    I have an early one very similar to your picture but the picture does not provide what internal condition is. The one I have started and ran but the chrome was coming off the cylinder. I had the cylinder recoated because I was having a problem finding a cylinder. Some parts are easier to find...

    Stihl lightening

    One picture and limited information. Does it start and run? Are there known problems that will determine what parts may be needed. It appears from the picture that it is an early model since no manual oiler and an old style starter. Parts can be found either original or aftermarket depending...
