rebuild a 034 av?

Which way to loosen the flywheel and clutch?

Clutch = reverse thread
Flywheel = normal thread

And this plastic piece with a screw in it mounter on the gas tank. Any body tell me what it is/for?

Not sure what you mean. Pic?

Sorry couldn't get the pics to load from my iPhone. Don't know if it's me or the super fast internet I got. Thanks for the manuals they are most needed

1. That's your tank vent. Check for cracks... it pulls right out of the tank.
2. The clutch must be turned CLOCKWISE to remove (to the right, opposite of most applications). Are you using a piston stop?
3. The flywheel is a bit tricky. You first have to remove a nut (regular threads), then either use a puller or a couple other techniques (hammer, punch, etc). I just ordered a puller but it is the wrong size... nuts!

The puller can be found on ebay rather cheap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/230553151043?lpid=82
That is one of the musts if you plan on rebuilding Stihls. Also you will need long T handle T27 torx.

Yep deff need the long torx. Really didn't want to just wack the crank to get the flywheel off, I'll see if I can make one of my pullers work. As far as a piston stop can I just use some old ski rope? Piston is pretty well shot so thought about a steel bar through the exhaust port. What do you guys think?

I'm pretty sure this (see link) is the FW puller I bought about 5 years ago. It's been a huge help on Stihl FWs with the threads to accept it. Annoyingly, some of the newer models don't have the threads.

right and left hand.

Stihl flywheel tool is your friend.

Clean rope in the spark plug hole for a piston stop, don't hang it in a port.

OEM P/C is best, or good used 036 C with quality piston.

Not sure about comment on Teccomec P/C above, all I have seen are good as OEM. My 038M kits were beautiful. Not sure if pics I posted are still here after the hacking.........

Get non-pro 036 C so no comp release to deal with

How about some pics for the problematic Teccomec kit?

I have a snap on t-handle for t-27 , no problems ever

I'm in the same situation. I've got 2 034's here that i got cheap. Got one running pretty good, replaced all the lines, and oil pump worm. I'm giving that one to a buddy of mine. The other one needs a new p/c and a few other things (brake handle, muffler, lines) and I'm keeping it for myself.

Would be greatly appreciated if someone could send me a copy of the manual as well. Thanks.

I used the one I fixed up for a bit, and really like it. I've got a 362, a ms170, and a poulan 45cc(first saw, now a loaner/stump/buddy saw), so the 034 will slot in there nicely as a backup/buddy saw.

The FW nut is a RHT- turns off counter clockwise.

The clutch is a LHT- turns off clockwise.
