    011 avt - pouring oil and carb adjustments

    You can remove the oil pump easily. Three screws is all it takes .the hose is attached to the nose off the pump. If its hard as a rock, check for cracks by pressurizing it. The other end is at the bar mount. Cracking the case is easier on these as both sides of the crankshaft ride on needle...

    Stihl 012 av excess oiling?

    I'll send you the IPL & service manual for that saw, tomorrow. Oil pump is simple design. Check the diaphragm and check valve ball in the pump body. The service manual shows the layout and describes the operation.

    Stihl 012 av fuel lines

    The vent kit (hose, screw, filter, 17,18,19,20) is still available from Stihl. Your saw should have the vent tube ( part #6) pressed into the tank. The foam piece goes under the stamped cover (part 21) visible with the clutch cover removed. Routes through a hole in the upper corner of the...

    Ms660 with 6 k products 11 pin rim sprocket today

    Right, FPM=CPM=RPM. To calculate the chain speed, the OD of the rim determines the chain speed. Since these are not conventional involuted gears, or roller chain sprockets, the pitch diameter is not the value to determine the chain speed. The simple chain speed formula doesn’t take into...

    Ms660 with 6 k products 11 pin rim sprocket today

    Question on the chain speed. A strobe cannot measure travel speed directly. The FPM on your Fluke is Flashes Per Minute, not feet per minute. Unless you’re calculating rpm (the typical use of a strobe) x circumference, you’re not measuring the chain speed.

    Free to a good home, 038 MS380 cylinder & piston

    I'll snap a picture of it. Don't know if they were testing it, we did fuels and lube oil here (Sunoco). A shame to see it sitting there with the building falling down around it. Several large Detroits in another building, spares for fire water pumps, but haven't been touched in over 15 years.

    Free to a good home, 038 MS380 cylinder & piston

    Found a Stihl cylinder in an abandoned engine test lab at work. Cylinder is in decent shape, a bit of transfer, piston is a bit rough, one ring stuck in groove and broke. A quick search on the 1119 part number shows 038, MS380 50 mm cylinder (50 mm confirmed with calipers) It certainly was...

    Sthil MS 180 repair question

    Tapered shaft couplings are common in industry .Very high horsepower motors use tapered couplings, no keys. Hub is dialated with hydraulic pressure and pushed up the taper, held on with a surprisingly small nut. Biggest one I work with is a 35,000 HP compressor. 100% contact on the taper...

    Restoration Question

    Just got some from an old school mower repair shop. Cut from an old spool hanging over a work bench. Most "newer" dealers don't carry it by the spool any more. Struck out at NAPA, and other auto parts places. HLS does sell by the foot plus shipping .

    Homelite ez automatic...

    Contact Chainsawlady for bars and parts. She's a real sweet lady. On the decomp valve, carefully check the linkage from the button to the valve. The rod's guide bracket can get sloppy reducing the lift. Soft aluminum, a little reshaping will cure the problem.

    Homelite ez automatic...

    They came with 3/8 standard chain when new (thanks chainsawlady for that information and an NOS bar/chain for mine). The LP may be better these days (was it even avabavailin the 1970's ?).

    Stihl 011AVT... should I get it?

    More likely a coil problem. Depending if it’s a point type ignition or solid state, the coils are easy to find, used or new. Also make sure your spark plug wire isn’t grounding against the cylinder fins or the tight bends in under the flywheel. Wire can be replaced (threads into the coil)...

    Check a Still dealer, surprisingly, the diaphragm, foam filter and gaskets are still available. Thank you Stihl! If you Google the part numbers, a place near me will likely pop up (OMB Warehouse). If part is available it will show up with a price. Pick up only, (Stihl's requirement). Gives...
