got one already, I should have posted earlier. Found one from a similar 1993 year leaf blower by Stihl. Thanks anyway.

Hello, long time visiting. I have an older Stihl Edger FC 72 in need of a good used or NEW or NOS ignition coil. It is now obsolete after 22 years. Stihl PN is 4133 4000 1301 Fits both the FC Edger and FS string trimmer. Found a part in the UK with shipping is almost $100 USD. If new willing...

Interesting prototype of a limbing robot. Far from perfected - of course all trees are not that straight. http://www.electronicproducts.com/Electromechanical_Components/Motors_and_Controllers/Image_s_of_the_day_Remote-controlled_tree_climbing_chainsaw-wielding_robot.aspx

I'd like to rebuild my older 025 with this kit plus any carb tunes required. Sold my MS260 to cover some costs plus I often have guys with larger saws surprised at my little 025 in the field. Mo power please..

Can you mount a 20" bar on a MS250?. Like others said- it will just slow it down. The 261 can drive it..if you need it. I used an older Stihl 025 three weeks ago clearing larger 20+ inch tornado stricken hardwoods ALL day long with a 16" bar and chisel tooth. Not as fast as our 441 but was a...

bigger thread? Can you drill up and tap for the next size metric or SAE inch thread and increase handle hole size?

Mcmaster If you can measure the keyway slot width, you can probably locate one at McMaster-Carr or MSC Direct. They come in varying width, height and lengths and can be cut to length. May help?

Clean with alcohol or a residue free cleaner. I like and use Permatex automotive spray adhesive or for stronger thicker adhesive use Super77. It will go a long way.

close but not close enough I work with mfg's in USA, China, Pakistan etc... even have a good quaility asian molder but in this case- China making Chinese OEM copy replacement parts is a long term way of them learning what goes into the whole tool. Plastics are jus plastics..not when it comes to...

upsize the thread I'd either retap with a american SAE 12-24 which is slightly larger than M5. Otherwise the earlier m6 is good if you can go that much larger. Judging from the photo and the material the drill size is probably close to the stripped diameter? A metal filled epoxy...

Sawnamis suggestion toughened super glue is pretty good. You can get small tube quantities of industrial adhesives at McMaster Carr. Bonding a polypropylene or nylon molded part is possible. If you can spread the gap apart, apply adhesive so it can spring back and clamp itself. A photo...

clutch? Other possibilities..can you remove the drive clutch? Perhaps it has cracked and wedged against the casing?

I imagine a semi chisel chain would best, like some said, nails, dirt, sand and rocks can be inside. Brush clean chain/bar and sprocket afterwards with Simple green or some degreaser, I'd be more worried bout the inhaled dust and hand skin burn. Use of eye protection, basic nuisance or N95...

thanks Thanks for the reply, when I took equipment lead role I was going to purchase Metal DOT rated JustRite type 2 fuel cans and discovered the previous DRT/CERT manager already had new 5 gallon Spill-Proof poly cans. Since we cover several states all the way to the Gulf..GDOT is only part my...

Yes, Looking for the right answers..thought there might even be a real professional arborist service guy on the site that had a recommended NFSA or national related DOT code pertaining to many state codes.. Already have a call to the GDOT + National Highway Safety folks..Agree general forums...

Our UMCOR/ UNVIM Disaster Team has a number of current type heavy duty poly plastic fuel cans (2 and 5 gallons). We were debating Thursday about the DOT and NFSA regulations for transporting 2 stroke fuel by 12 foot closed trailer (or pickup trucks). While I have used steel safety cans for...

wrong paint If you have paint wrinkle after feathering- you are likely re-top coating with wrong paint type or top coating too thick on each coat. The paint solvent is melting the old paint down to metal. Is the spray can epoxy, lacquer or enamel. Cheaper paints use cheaper slow dry...

Not bad choice I'd go with an 40cc Echo..probably the best big box store tools out there..including some smaller <35cc Huskys.

While I am a Stihl user. The use of a Stihl "290" is heavy and not great power per pound. The MS250 or comparable- 40 cc Husky or Dolmar. lighter great power band and use for smaller cuts.

worthy message This volunteer related tree accident is truly a sad to hear story. The story is one that I shared tonight with our reformed UMCOR/UNVIM Disaster Response team. As I shared with our team, we do not fell large trees but a tree felled by nature can be just as dangerous. It...
