    Stihl MS 460 mag chain won't stop

    Alright guys, Update..... my saw would not idle down. I had bought and installed new aftermarket clutch springs. The high rev idle broke all of the springs. I was starting to lean towards some sort of air leak. I took the saw into my local Stihl shop for repair. I was expecting some death...

    Thank you Frogfarmer. I am in Australia and everything is more expensive here. I did find the company you mentioned and they were very affordable. I have to try and get over "made in china" stuff. For a couple of reasons. One is some companies mislead or lie about where their products originate...

    I will replace the clutch. I just called my local stihl shop and they want $109 for the three shoes, springs and clips. Frogfarmer mentioned he has had good luck with Farmertecs brand. Being a cheap bastard from way back.......are clutches another example of you get what you pay for? What say you?

    When I replaced the springs I did not remove the shoes. I just pulled the old ones off and stretched the new ones in place. At the time I did not see a need to remove the shoes. Was this OK to do it that way?

    OK guys. Thank you for so many fast responses. 1st, I attempted to adjust idle. With no luck. I returned setting to where I found it. 2nd, I replaced the clutch springs. Aftermarket Hyway brand. I used the saw yesterday. I removed the clutch drum and found three broken clutch springs.

    I think I am in the right slot. Isnt the "L" the low speed adjustment? I am not in front of my saw now but, If I turn the screw driver to the right it will come to a full stop in a 1/4 turn. If I turn it to the left I can get one full rotation. If my memory is correct......With good light I can...

    OK, here I go with my first post. Please be gentle. I have a problem with my Stihl MS 460 magnum. I bought it second hand (not running) a few months ago. The saw had a carburetor issue I was unable to set right. I struggle with carb adjustment. I had taken it to the local shop and had it...

    Is the Stihl 026c a professional saw?

    scotclayshooter about your fs250....... We have bought a little land down here in Australia. I needed a saw. Now I need a brushcutter. When you start getting to the higher end brushcutters with Stihl does it make that big of a difference? FS 250, 350, 450 etc...I will be needing to cut down...

    Is the Stihl 026c a professional saw?

    Thanks guys The muffler on the 026c is black. That being said. After reading some older posts I have bought a Stihl 036. I will only be able to have one saw for the near future. I was looking for the "all-arounder". The saw is in very good condition for what looks like a fair price. I really...

    Is the Stihl 026c a professional saw?

    Looking at a saw on ebay, a Stihl 026c and I was wonder if this is or was in the professional line? I was watching a 036 but it is going for a little too much for me and it looks as if the 026c might be going under the radar. Thanks in advance....David
