Ok, just got a new ms170 fer my father-n-law, on sale fer $159.00! (I may buy one fer me as well! )
He has cut a TON of wood with his old 170 over the years! Ran over it twice with his tractor! Still runs well, and cuts with it almost everyday! But the chainbrake is busted on his old one (tractor) and he needed a second saw anyway fer when he gets his “pinched”!
I primarily use ms250/o25’s MM’ed! (And have cut a TON with also) (The ms170’s and ms250’s are great saws!)
Anyway, after seeing the difference in mine after being MM’ed he wants his 170 MM’ed! Hence, the reason I’m here!
I want to thank everyone fer their imput on doing this on this and other threads!
I’m going to order the wt215 soon and give it a go!
Stihl has their ms170’s on sale fer $159.00 till sometime in June 2019..so like I mentioned, I think I’ll pick another one up fer me and carb/MM it as well!
One question though, is it worth advancing the timing on these? And I’ll have to search but is there a thread on how to do that as well? (I’ll take a look)
Hummm..what about advancing the timing on the ms250’s?? (More reading!)
Ok, thanks again!!
