Have an old HS45 that runs very well and does it's job well. The only issue I have with it is it leaks mix out of the carb primer purge. It makes for a mess over time even with an air compressor to blow all the junk collected away. The question is where the leak is at, right where the brass...

Sorry. I did a bit of searching, but not much found. I haven't purchased new Stihl toys in a while, probably 5 years now, and when I do, I see things I've never seen before. I have no need to tinker with these yet, but curious what I have. I purchased a new FS130 and BR600 Magnum. They seem...

Hey buddy. Have a question regarding a BR600 (NON Magnum) older POS I have. I broke down the other day and decided to let my dealer have some money and got me a brand new Magnum. I'm literally tired of working on that old POS I won by accident on Ebay. (Was trying to bid another user...

Are the Stihl dealers forced to fix prices now for some reason? I made a large purchase a few years back and got a great deal on my equipment. Wasn't DSRP. I just visited the same dealer to resolve a recall issue with the flippy caps on one of those items. Left him a list of a couple of...

Hey guys. Haven't been here in a while. I got this 260 Pro brand new a few years back and every time I use it, I can't use it for long before the bar heats up. I posted about the issue way back when new, but I couldn't parse through all my posts and find it, so I'm posting new now. So, I've...

I know, an old 021 POS, but it was my first chainsaw and is sentimental, has always run perfect, but I've been fighting this saw and I think it will still run great, but I can't figure out what it is, so I'll let you guys point me back to the basics. The story... Changed the fuel line in...

Sorry, but had to pass this along. I stopped at the gas station tonight on the way home and the pump in front of me had like 4 guys in this little Suzuki (maybe) mini SUV. All four of them got out and if I added their ages together, I might not get to 30. Well, the two in the back had this...

The New BR 600 STIHL Magnum™ Backpack Blower Just a Magnum sticker, right? Any real change from previous years? Listed in New Products for some reason...

Sorry guys, a blower question, did a search, found little to none or not searching correct terms... What does a primer that is slow to reinflate after you press it indicate? What should I be looking for? Otherwise, blower seems 100%. Just literally, takes about 6 seconds to reinflate primer...

Need help. Idle issues. But seems to respond and blow hard as it should. Trying to figure out what this means. "The upper edge of the inlet control lever must be flush with the top of the carburetor body." A? or B? or ??? I think A, because I think that's where it's closest to now...

What's the difference in Oilomatic saw chain and Oilomatic 3 saw chain from Stihl? The number 3? :confused: A marketing thing? I assume the Oilomatic 3 is newer, more advanced somehow, maybe? I searched and didn't find any good info on any differences, and Stihl's site just talks about...

Let me see if I got this right... I promise I searched and searched and searched... But I keep seeing Full Comp, Semi Chisel, Skip, Half, RSC, Chisel, Semi RMC chains being talked about and I'm like :dizzy: (Just kidding. I know there's no such thing...) Full Comp = cutter/tie...

I was flush cutting stumps today. Well not with my Stihl, but a little Poulan, and needed to square something up, so used one of my MS290s. I get half way through the cut and it was like the chainbrake was engaged. Froze solid. I took a hammer and screwdriver to it a little, but it won't...

I just saw the new MS 361 Stihl Magnum on Stihl's website. Probably old news, but Stihl's new 2009 interactive catalog is online. Listed on page 29 is the MS 361 Stihl Magnum. I wonder if the new ones will actually have the magnum sticker on them now. No change to this year's model, right...

What do the 2 letter abreviations mean on the end of the part number? I have a couple of these bars with different letter combinations. Any idea what the letters HF mean? I think I have an HH and something else. Same part number and specs, but different 2 letter codes. Thanks.

I usually don't post junk like this, but I couldn't help myself. This is one of the better ones I've seen in a while. http://raleigh.craigslist.org/tls/897614597.html

Do I have weak clutch springs? I have a trimmer head that won't stop spinning on an FS-36. No matter how I adjust the LA screw is, it still spins. I can take my hand, if brave enough, and hold onto the trimmer head and it has very little resistance and I can stop the movement for as long as...

Sorry guys. I'm trying to do two things at once here. Learn to post pics the right way and figure out if these MS290 parts are worth the trouble... Here goes. Busted air filter cover. Epoxy is setting now. Think plastic epoxy will hold for something like this? Or a waste of time...

- Position the piston ring so that its ends meet at the fixing pin. I was putting my FS36 trimmer back together and I don't recall doing this. Hopefully I did, or hopefully I got lucky, or when is it gonna break? Is it worth a breakdown and check or have I ruined it now anyway? Do I want...

See my FS36 trimmer thread that everyone was so gracious to get me going again it looks like. http://arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=70135 So, while I'm finishing up fine tuning the carb, SIEZE! Locked solid! I'm like what the heck? I didn't lean it out, had plenty of 50:1 Stihl ultra...
