I am looking at a Stihl chainsaw on eBay. It says “refurbished” and zooming in I can see the STIHL logos on most all parts. However, the warning labels in the handle, gas cap, chain brake, etc are all in Spanish. Anyone know why? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@PogoInTheWoods I took your advice and glad I did. Think it looks better with painted letters. I didn’t have the courage to paint the “Mix” letters. Too small. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I forgot to post this the other night. I found this nut in the cylinder housing. This was the culprit to the initial demise of the saw. It’s one of the bolts that holds the carb in place. It had become loose, fell through the carb, and into the cylinder. Funny how you find these things as your...

I was fine tuning the carb yesterday and was having a hard time because I wanted to do it with the chain on but didn’t want the staining on the clutch cover. Ridiculous I know. I have a Stihl 290 that I use so will probably just keep this one prettied up. I do want to bury it in a big log just...

Yes. Decided on the high temp paint for the muffler cover to avoid the Black getting on there. And I’ve thought about painting the lettering but not sure my hand is steady enough. It would definitely look better though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you. Here’s a before picture. Just like my grandad left it. [emoji30] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the diagram. I had sure been scratching my head. Turns out, 2 brand new toggle switches were bad. Once again, third times a charm. I’ll post some pictures tomorrow. Thanks everyone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the third new ignition coil so I know I’m not grounded somewhere. There is only two wires coming off the coil. The one that connect to the on/off switch and the spark plug wire. There is a white wire that connect back to the coil (see pics). Should there be a ground wire somewhere and if...

#pony the tie strap is there. My issue has been that there is one wire coming from the ignition coil that goes directly to the kill toggle switch (there is only one connect or contact point on the switch). There is a white wire coming out of the coil and ties into the body of the coil with a...

Thanks. :). I bought a new ignition coil, along with about $300 in other things, and turns out the kill switch is bad on the coil. So, I’m exchanging coils and hope that works. Otherwise, she’s ready to be done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey all. I am restoring a STIHL 051. I bypassed the condenser and points and added an electronic ignition coil. Problem is the saw wont turn off now. I’ve tried 3 new toggle switches and even grounded the kill wire to bare metal and still won’t die. Any ideas? It’s a brand new coil but could it...

Hi All, I am having an issue with my STIHL 051. I have deleted the points and added a new electronic, one wire ignition coil. However, I know very little about electronics. The saw starts and runs like a champ but I’ve tried 3 toggle switches and it won’t turn off. Am I missing a wire somewhere...

I’m in the process of “trying” to restore my grandads old 051 AV. It was locked up so I replaced the piston and cylinder, added a carb rebuild kit but now no spark. I was looking at the ignition coil and noticed wire running behind the flywheel. I took the flywheel off (barely, it had been in...

Well I got the 311 put back together today after I had cleaned up the cylinder. I purchased a new piston and ring set ,crank and flywheel off a newer saw (all looked great) I got off eBay, new fuel filter and spark plug and it started up and runs great for a grand total of $85 in the saw. I...
