I was up to about 6 saws.....a couple poulans, a couple pioneers and an 025. They all needed help when I got them.....I got them all running good....then I bought a 261cm which cured my CAD. I sold everything except for the 025. As a guy who only cuts a little wood now and then, those are all...

I would think as long as you are using the stock gaskets and cylinder/piston there should be no change from stock, so you wouldn't have to check. When people delete the gaskets or change gasket thickness, that is when it needs to be checked.

I get that there is alot going on inside an engine and a carb. But I don't think it's a straight division. The spark doesn't discriminate between gas and oil, and niether does the carburetor. And when talking about tuning, I think we are only talking about one screw depending on throttle...

Ya....I guess I blew it.....I read the article after..... The conclusion of the article is that more oil makes more power. It does also mention that while testing they had to give more fuel to compensate for more oil. In my mind, that is only true if the oil doesn't burn. If the oil burns...

I don't buy the "more oil = running lean". Does oil not cool like gasoline does? The mixture is air to FUEL, not air to gas. And fuel for a chainsaw is a gas/oil mix. The oil burns.....it is part of the fuel.

amsoiil saber with a little dab of dominator, a little interceper, a little seafoam and a little marvel mystery oil. I call it my super mix. I have been using it for a couple years in chainsaws, weed wackers and old snowmachines. I start at 50:1 with the saber and bring it to 40:1 with the...

what kind of carb on it, and what does it have for adjustment screws or jets?

lots of pinesol, hot hot water and a squirt of dishsoap......carbs come clean, no discoloring

the 2000 I had had an air leak caused by screws that were too long in the carb/air filter cover. I'm not sure what they were pushing on. Make sure you are using short screws in that cover.

Its too bad some of our "eco-friends" can't figure out that building things to last is more environmentally friendly than buying throw away junk. The new stuff is still repairable, but they don't make it easy!!! I changed a $5 relay in my oven by removing a circuit board and changing out the...

Pinesol with dishsoap and water is my mix. Start with hot water too. The glass jar is good for small parts.

Everyone is new at some point. My first saw was an electric Poulan. I tried and tried to tighten the chain with the bar nuts still tight. Totally ruined the tensioning adjustment on that saw. I'm glad I learned on that thing and not something expensive.

That's what I was thinking. I have an engine with a tillotson carb that was acting the same way. The ignition system was all good, but it would bog and die as soon as it went past 1/4 throttle. I started with a spray bottle of mix gas, and sprayed in the carb as I opened the throttle, and it...

It almost sounds like fuel to me. If you spray gas in in the catb at full throttle will it stay running? Open up the low jet a little more and try again.

I'm gonna derail my own thread!!!!! I found a ms261cm for a good price this weekend. The 032 is going on the backburner for a while......

Anyone have IPL and or service manual for MS261C with Mtronic

Just got an MS261C 2019 or 2020 build date. Are there IPL or service manuals available for this saw? Thanks

I want an 18" bar and chain for my 032. I just bought a 3/8", 7 tooth sprocket. I don't wanna spend too much money, but whatever. Suggestions???

This Canadian listing on Kijiji this morning...... https://www.kijiji.ca/v-outdoor-tools-storage/ottawa/stihl-025-chainsaw/1563381766 $320 Cdn......I bought one 15 months ago for $50......

Would it transfer less heat back to the cylinder, maybe the saw would run a little cooler.....
