Yea my stock one a nice wood cutter , but that hopped up one, is in another league,It’s fun to give my 266 to my buddy’s and watch their reaction, goes from
Gotta ask tho, how does the filter work, there’s no obnoxiously large hole in the cover for it to go thru
025 Stihl completely torn down and cleaned, ready for assembly. Needed new seals, impulse line and carb boot.
So it was a no go on the orange brake flag conversion for the 266 
the angle of the flag was a bit further back than the stock one and makes it too close to the full wrap 
It will engage but won’t come far back enough to disengage, guess I never quite anticipated that one… might work on the 272 tho with the half wrap
too bad though cause it looked pretty wicked all orange!
And the hunt continues I suppose, I’m sure there’s one with an angle far enough forward that will function without hitting the handlebar

Looks cool...but how do you actually use it long term with that air filter up there?
Stihl 025 completed. Fought me every inch of the way going back together, but started up in 6 pulls from a dry carb and runs perfect. AM clutch cover on it, it has metal inserts at the bolt holes where the stock one does not. Go figure.
Really are a pain to get together, fishing every thing though the bulkhead is frustrating. They do run nice though, worth the effort if you need a light saw with a bit of punch. In case you start working on one, several parts do not interchange with the ms250, the air director in the recoil assembly for instance. Best to get one complete, better chance to finish it as most AM parts are meant for the ms250.

great description of an 025 or MS 250
Not sure what you mean, just a high flow filter, better performance, just clean it when needed, just like a regular air filter , ?

It just looked too high to fit under the cover. The picture must have been deceiving!
Ahh , that pic was before the hole for filter ,

These two old homelites are going to be fused into one. The super mini was sold to me as a runner but has pretty bad cylinder scoring. The XL1 is in awesome shape but has no coil.

Went off some old gaskets and cut out some new ones with the wifes machine! Impressed I am to say the least with my outcome!

going a bit on the slow side, like most things here other than H-H!!
did finally get my Echo CS 271T cleaned and back together. was ready to sharpen chain and cut some firewood, but decided i din't want to get it cruddy again w/o a tune up, too. so got in a tune up kit... and a new 050, 12" 3/8ths chain... then decided why not a new bar, too. and it came with a new chain, as well...just need to get back to my workbench and bolt it all together... i really like the lil Echo! bit of a
You the guy in the CR FB group that just showed the echo 271 he picked up that the crank fubarred and took piston out with parts. I never even knew they were made that way till he showed it.

Is that a climbing saw for branches?
