    Stihl 026 help

    I’d pull the muffler back off and make sure the piston and cylinder looks good. You could have dropped some debris in the crankcase when doing your ring job. Lack of power in the cut usually tells me low compression or you have the carb out of tune. I redid one of these a couple months ago and...

    The effects of bad fuel/low octane

    X2 on a bad batch of gas. My local gas station sells 87 corn gas only. 40:1 with regular stihl 2 stroke in all my equipment and I’ve yet to have an issue in over 10 years. Just stating my experience. Nothing more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Saw First Start

    You reused that?? That slug is a paperweight and should have went in the scrap. Hopefully you just did that for ***** n gigs on a personal saw. As for your break in procedure I’ve never heard of sure. But if it’s worked for you then I reckon it doesn’t hurt. I’ve never had new but any of my...

    MS 260 Pro Price Check

    Not that is matters much $$ wise but make sure it’s actually a pro model instead of just a pro sticker. Pro variations will have an adjustable Oiler and a decompression valve. The top Av mount on the outside left of the carb box can get weak and rip. Make sure it starts and revs fine. The air...

    Stihl 038 AV fuel tank replacement

    Depends on who the pm is coming from and their background. Some look ok but from years of abuse the “book” is deceiving by judging the cover. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Husky 44 floods

    Did you hit it with a hammer to see if that fixes it?? If it was fine before the porting I’d retrace your steps. You’re missing something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Low compression on my new Stihl MS362

    You’re unbelievable. If what you’ve posted in this thread is the truth then you’re a fool for not sending it to JD. regardless if you think he will run it for 40 hours or not. It’s the best option you’ve received from anyone. But you’re still persistent on keeping a saw “that disgusts you when...

    Stihl MS461 original piston price?

    2 years ago I got a 660 piston from my dealer. I believe under 50$. Ordered a 44mm for a 026 last week at a hearty 72$ [emoji19] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Low compression on my new Stihl MS362

    Couldn’t agree more. A squeaky wheel gets greased! You don’t have to go in being an ******* but go in being stern and headstrong for answers. They already won’t help you so what do you have to lose? It’s not like you’re burning a significant bridge if it ends in you telling them to G.F.Y...

    Worth fixing?

    Make sure the cylinder bolts are nice and snug on the 350. Flip the saw on its side and you will see them on the bottom of the saw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
