    Carb settings for HK12 carb on old Jonsered 451?

    I got an old 451E that has been heavily screwed with and doesn't want to start, and wonder if anyone has the starting settings for the carb. I found an old post about it here but couldn't figure out what is meant by: 451E L=1 turn open from lightly seated H=1 : : : : ;

    Convert a MS250 Easy2Start-from-hell to plain ol' recoil starter?

    Did somebody here successfully convert a Easy2Start MS250 to a plain old MS250C? I recall reading a post about it here but haven't been able to find it. My MS250-from-hell continues to foil all my efforts to fix the E2S starter. Latest being the axle pin in the recoil housing backing out...

    Stilh 250 Easy Start Rope Replacement

    Your wire method looks good to me. Anything to avoid removing the pulley! I have just had a series of misfortunes touched off by the rope jamming in my almost-new M250 E2S and would caution anyone working on these saws that the E2S mechanisms are much more delicate than is apparent, and capable...

    Looking for some MS250 Easy2Start starter parts

    Come to think of it, maybe I should just convert the damn thing to conventional non-E2S starting. So if anyone has a used fan housing/starter assembly and/or flywheel I might be interested in that.

    Is Stihl badge on MS250 recoil housing removable?

    Is the round orange Stihl badge on the fan housing of my MS250 removable and reusable? There seem to be some little pegs on it that engage in the housing, but I can't figure out if they just knock out, or if they were somehow heat welded or glued in place so they can not be removed without...

    Any difference between Stihl MS250 and MS251?

    The pull start on my almost-new MS250 E2S started jamming, and when I pulled it apart to see what was going on the spring went "sproing". I re-installed the spring and it worked fine for about a week/40 starts then started making funny noises. On opening I found the spring had managed to pop...

    What does an asterisk (*) mean in a Stihl parts list?

    Thanks, that diagram is very useful! But how can they be specific to their respective flywheels if there is only one version of the flywheel listed? Though there is a reference to (25.2005) after the flywheel #, but I have no way of knowing what it says. It appears to me that it is not...

    What does an asterisk (*) mean in a Stihl parts list?

    So how does one decide which to use if one does not have access to the applicable SB? Or in this case, which do I use?

    What does an asterisk (*) mean in a Stihl parts list?

    I found a parts list for my MS250 C-BE, but notice that some of the parts have two different #s listed for the same application, with the lower numbered one marked with an asterisk, and followed by a number in parenthesis that looks almost but not quite like a date - for example, (32.2004). It's...

    Reuse damaged Stihl flywheel or replace?

    I have Stihl with a damaged flywheel. Something came loose inside the Easy@Start starter and contacted the flywheel, slightly chewing up the end corner tips of the fan blades. Other than that the flywheel looks fine. Local shop quoted me $150 for just the flywheel, which is pretty close to...

    Any difference between Stihl MS250 and MS251?

    Please explain?

    Any difference between Stihl MS250 and MS251?

    I managed to mega screw up my almost-new MS 250 to the point where it is hardly worth fixing so I am thinking I maybe should flog it on the net for parts and buy a new MS 251. Are there any differences between the MS250 and the MS251 that I should know about before deciding which way to go?

    Can't find a Stihl MS250 parts book or good online lookup site.

    Looked a bit more, and found it, along with a lot more, at https://www.manuals4u.com.au/chainsaw/stihl-spare-parts-lists/

    Can't find a Stihl MS250 parts book or good online lookup site.

    Anyone know where I can find a Stihl MS 250 C-BE parts book or a good online lookup site? Or even just the page(s) dealing with starter parts and flywheels? I've been to a dozen or so places that purport to be such, but they only have common items like bar nuts and plugs.

    Getting the starter spring back in on an Easy2Start MS250

    My solution was to get a friend to help, and it worked very well. We put the cover on a small cafe table so we were sitting on opposite sides, and it went very smoothly. The compressor is one of those things that exist in the parts book but no shop has ever seen let alone stocked, and you can...

    Getting the starter spring back in on an Easy2Start MS250

    Turns out Stihl has a special tool, for about $20, just for recompressing and installing old springs which have popped out (new ones come already compressed which is why many Stihl mechanics automatically replace the spring if it gets undone). Stihl says the spring can be recompressed by hand...

    Getting the starter spring back in on an Easy2Start MS250

    So now I am really in a mess. Got up my courage to pull the little clip holding the cord rotor down and the starter spring went "sproing". The long recoil spring the rewinds the starter cord, not the heavy spring in the E2S module, that is. Can't figure out how to get it back in. There's no...

    Jammed starter cord on Stihl MS250 Easy2Start

    Took off a circlip and was able to remove the E2S starter spring, but was stopped dead by a very complicated bent wire clip that retains the recoil and pulley assembly, which is where the blockage seems to be. Couldn't figure out any way to get the wire clip out without messing something out, so...
