    Stihl BG85 pissing fuel

    I last ran my old Stihl BG85 blower in October and now it’s mid March. I took it off the hook, and about a half cup of raw fuel pissed out of the exhaust. Had to pull the plug, and heat it up for it to pull over. What would cause this? Is the gas just leaking past the rings while it sits un used?

    Jonsereds saw. Any ideas?

    There’s not a number on this thing. Does anybody know what model it would be, or where to look for a hidden number?

    McCulloch 740

    How much would you guys pay for this old dog? It’s in my local classifieds in non running condition. The dude wants $350. Seems like way too much, but I like the saw.

    Strunk!

    Just picked up this little gem from a guy that has had it since his junior high school days. (50 years) it's a 1955 or '56 Strunk Speedemon all position. He was from Northern Michigan but brought it out west when he moved to Utah. It last ran in the '70's but I'm hopeful to get it singing again.

    Stihl 261 air filter questions

    I've used the hell out of my 261 lately and decided to break it down and clean it up. I always tap out the fine particles and lightly blow from the inside out. Can these filters be dunked in soapy warm water and flushed from the inside? I'm used to K&N filters for my vehicles being cleaned this...

    Stihl FS80r trimmer slow to power up.

    This old Pro trimmer is in great condition but at idle when I go full throttle it bogs out.

    Stolen question.

    Hey, just bumped in to this section and had a question to anyone that might know. About five years ago I was looking to buy a Stihl hedger. I found a nice looking one on a local classifieds and called on it. He didn't know all that much but the pics looked good. I made the one hour trip to check...

    Stihl BG85 blower carb

    I have an older BG 85 blower. My local dealer has ordered the wrong carb twice. Is there anyone that can tell me what carb I need? This is the serial number on the bottom of the machine. (251411528)

    Stihl BG85 blower issue

    This blower has worked flawlessly for years but lately the throttle trigger has a really slow return. Check out the videos. I'm ready to tear in to it but just wondering if anyone has seen this and can give me some direction. Thanks!

    Used Stihl 440

    Hey guys, I'm looking at this 440 on the local classifieds. It seems pretty clean from the pics. I had him pull the muffler and send me the picture. Does it look scored to you guys? The one side looks a little iffy to me. I haven't seen it in person, just wanting your opinions. He is asking...

    Stihl fcs-km

    I was in the Stihl dealer today and noticed the straight edger attachment for the Stihl Kombi system is re-designed. I have the old one and my only complaint is it's quite heavy. The old one is really robust but maybe the new model is better. Has anyone tried the new fcs-Km? It's the straight...

    Who makes this Edger???

    I bought this today, on a local classifieds site and was told that it fit My Stihl Kombi. Of course I get home to try,and it doesn't, so it going right back on the classifieds. The quality is on par with Stihl, with replaceable wear plates and a grease zirk for the gear box but the only markings...

    Stihl KM 130R issue (Kombi motor)

    So, it's only been a week since I highly recommended the km130r to some guy on here, and now I'm having my first issue. The thing is only a year old and still under warranty for another three years, but I thought I'd ask you guys before I take it to the dealer. It is dead stock and never been...
