084 Differences and Info

I'd like to think it's an error in the database..


BTW... that same seller has a great deal on Stihl (OEM) 044 10mm pin P&C at $150... way less than dealer cost.

Check with thechainsawguy here on AS for P&C kits as well. He has them for several models.

I'm just hoping you'll have a weak moment and sell it to me for the price of a second hand 034.

I just looked at a 084 for a guy... he paid good money for it, but it wasn't quite running right... and has an air leak. Looked good though.

1) Wrong clutch drum... old version on newer oil drive.
2) Drum bearing collasped and trashed drum.
3) JB weld repair on the upper dog mount - just like we just saw on the 066!
4) Muffler front wrecked 'cos they couldn't get the upper screws out. hmmm..
5) compensating carb on non-compensating filter base - no atmospheric reference).

No big deal on the above... just $..

6) Main bearings really loose.... oh uh... Now it's a big time repair... and an obvious source of the "leak".

I hate it when that happens! He's looking at a chunk of change now.

 

[Lakeside53]

Yep.. $225-250 in parts... and if he doesn't do it himself, $300 in labor.

Here she is boys. A little eye candy for ya.

There's a little chip yet that I need to dress off on the rear handle.

Where is the new fuel tank/handle??

That's for the "new" one I'm building. This is the one I got from Freakingstang last Wednesday along with the parts 084 and 066 RL. I'm still waiting on the new case from thechainsawguy. It's coming from Canada, so should have it next week. I'll be going through the eBay 084 tomorrow.

 

[aggiewoodbutchr]

Very nice work. It's almost too pretty.


A little elbow grease and auto polishing compound should clean that tank up.

Keep up the good work- well done Number 1

I replaced it. No problem at all after reading others experiences. I held it over heat until a little soft and then stuck it through the case passage. I then pressed in the little bushing and took a center punch and pushed it down where it needed to go. On the other end, I re-heated the hose as well as the outlet on the pump and slid it on. A little heat makes it an easy job.

Picked up some new goodies from the dealer today. He forgot to put in my New starter handle. Oh well, pick that up after work tomorrow.

is it safe to run a 084 without the base gasket?

thanks

Most likely not. You'll have to check your squish, maintain at least 0.020" squish and 0.025" is better.

I just rebuilt an 084 with after market jug,rings and piston .I did use oem seals and bearings .One thing I changed was that crappy tank vent .It's sporting a Echo cs-8000 tank vent with a 1 inch piece of echo 3 mm fuel line.Yes oem case seals too no leaks .Tested everything with mighty vac.I put a new Walbro carb on it also.I have a Stihl 41" es and a 25" es bar and chain for it.Hope this things last for awhile.I'm looking for a flywheel case half to build another 084.If anyone has one kicking around ,let me know.
