I am fixing this low-hour 026 for a friend. I have the same saw but pro model. I got it running but his saw seems to put out copious amounts of bar oil compared to mine. His oil pump is not adjustable. Can anyone tell me judging by the photos if his saw is within acceptable oiling limits? It...

Hello Folks, For a few years now, my 026 has been dribbling bar oil from the output tube when inactive/sitting after use and it's getting worse. It appears that after use, pressure remains in the oil tank and relieves itself slowly by drooling oil all over the bench or in the case until...

Manual recommends .008 to .012 (.2 to .3 mm). My factory set gap is currently at .004 (.012 mm). Should I re-gap to manual's specs or leave it alone. What kind of trouble could improper air gap cause? I am currently troubleshooting a hard start problem and found this discrepancy when I took...

Perhaps I am not using the correct search terms but I cannot find the proper pressure value for the impulse system on my 026. My MityVac says I've got about 6 (+ -) lbs pressure when I crank the saw while drawing off of the impulse tube, can anyone please offer me some acceptable pressure...

Can anyone tell me the physical measurement of the metering lever (to carb body) on a Walbro WT series carb? It's on my 026 that is currently on the bench. I have searched everywhere including the Chainsaw FAQ section and all over the Walbro website and can't find the measurement, mm, inch...

I would appreciate if anyone could tell me when/how a cold saw get its prime during the start up? Please be technical so I can better understand. Thanks!!

Could anyone please help explain to me the mechanics of the choke cycle. I have an 026 saw that will only start when primed with gas into the carb and then the saw runs normally until it is cold again. I have rebuilt the carb, installed a new Stihl brand air filter (the choke shutter works...

Is there a way to re-new an air filter? I have a Stihl 026. The filter body and choke flapper are usually fine by the time the flocking is dirty and clogged. It just seems like such a waste to throw the whole unit away because the element is dirty or split. I clean them up but after time, the...

I tried to search for a solution but the search function on this site isn't working. Saw won't start unless I prime the carb with 1/2 to 1cc of fuel, then it will start on first or second pull and runs fine until it is shut down. This is a low hour saw which has been well maintained but here is...
