Everything is possible to fix, but... time x shop rate is a bit?h.
A simple carb kitting can take an hour...
Luckily there are so few around here we don't have to deal with them often, and... when the owners fall over at our "quote", we tell them to sell it on Craigslist or ebay! Won't even trade them in... usually...
Hmmmmm.......................I sure hope you dont go in there..........He might kill ya..

I never said I really know what I am doing. I just got into this stuff less than a year ago, and I am acquiring tools as I need them, mostly now all I have are some basic tools and refrigeration stuff I never use. Heck, half the time I am working on saws on my kitchen counter!
wow. you got some hard times coming. if you plan on doing alot of this your gonna need to get some tools and fast. i lucked out and bought a tool box full of tools from a local stihl guy that was retiring. got all the kewl little gadgets.

i'm workin on it a bit at a time. I still have no clue how to tune a carb. right, or I am doing something wrong, I keep screwing them up.
seriously you should seek some help from someone that knows them. you can easily trash and engine with a non properly tuned carb

When I get one running I always error on the side of too rich, especially on the high side. My problem is more that I can't get anything to run well at all after I mess with the carb, my XL ran better with the old gaskets in the carb, with the new kit it runs terrible!

So anyway, once he gets the f***ing thing apart, how hard is it to replace the oil tank? I assume its no good from the way he described the problem. I only looked at the saw for maybe 5 minutes.
I told him to look at the Solo trim saw, it looks like a real winner to me.

That part is easy.
Get a service manual... ask nice and maybe someone will email you one!

Thanks Lakeside. You're not such a bad guy, for a Stihl fan.
