024 it's a great small saw. my uncle has 120 acres in the Catskills. Only saw he's had for over 20 yrs. and he heats with wood. makes me feel kind of silly for the collection I;ve amassed. I put the hs242 hedge trimmer attachment on mine after I started collecting 026s. I still like the 024...

thanks Andy. I borrow the parts from my other 044 and I'll get a compression gauge from napa on my home. I'll have to post a pic of the shop built case splitter I built modelled after your fancy Stihl push cylinder.

oh and yes, woodruff key is lined up. used stihl tools for the difficult stuff, so nothing got bodgered up.

I will re-space the coil with a business card. fuel filter is new worn piston skirt, interesting. Andy, would the worn skirt cause a "slap" of sorts? The spitback at times was nearly a backfire if you will. thanks for the tip, in the future, I'll drop the psi back to 10. I only...

Evvening all, just finished a rebuild on an older 44, and having a bit of trouble. new seals, gaskets, rings. honed the jug, posiston was fine. even cracked the case to replace the main case gasket. saw starts and runs in the hot start position, but runs like it's bogging down.Never gets...

361 vs 390 The 361 can cure cancer, the 390 merely sends it into remission.

gbs I just hate the fact that the GB rims don't interchange with the stihl drums. But I guess we all know why that is...

poulan sounds like ignition rather than a seal, a bad seal seems to show itself when the saws flipped sideways.. let us know what you find after you go digging.

o ring Thank you guys, Erick is the man, turns out the tiny rubber O ring had gone missing. Oils like a champ now. Apologies to my neighbors.....it was only 9:30....and I just couldn't wait until tomorrow to find out if it worked.... % heads always better than one. Kudos. B.
