Okay.
What does that screw do on the pump, the one just above the hose/hose clamp.

You mean to say that you don't have one already?
Normaly all screws like this have a jam nut to keep it from moving. It could just be a plug that actually covers up an adjustment screw. Try backing out the screw that is turned in all the way and see if that let's your retract handle knock off.
Will do.

Watch out stihlies, Matt's coming over.
No, sir, not switching brands. But a 026, which is what I also think it is, would be the pic of the litter out of that bunch.
Obviously a Husky guy but always wanted a 026, 044, and 064. Neat vintage saws.
The only one of those I haven't owned is the 064, what a saw, unfortunately no spring AV.
Alright, we'll see lol.
I wanted one that was ported by doc, those are nice with a 20, and real close to a 241 for size.

Jump to about the 4 min mark.
There are a few different styles of adjustment, but it will be under the plug.
Edit, boring video. He didn't ever make one with the actual adjustments. It's pretty easy though. There is a possibility the check valve is screwed up. Adjustment should be under the smaller plug, check valve under the larger plug. Quick, crappy piv of mine for reference.

Cut Split Stack Burn
Chip, I’ve owned a 026 before. Back when I was cutting all the wood for my sister. I had the 362xp with the BB kit and a 026 as my two saw plan
They’re pretty good saws (for a Stihl), ask Uncle Mike, I’ve been begging him to get these stihls outta my garage!!!
Ms261 and 362
Both come with the OEM parts to make them whole again…..
Just this time of year, that poor guy doesn’t know if he is coming or going!!

Both!
I should have added, that Detroit does look a lot like the Indian!
Thanks for the video, I learned something, guess I'm still alive
.So watching that makes me think the unloader valve cap is missing. Could it be missing and then the unloader valve backed out causing the issue.
I was wondering why the saw was revving when the chain wasn't spinning when she walked from the stump to the top of the tree.That's the first time I've seen the full video! The way she's just revving on it constantly after just about getting annihilated by the butt of that tree
Just because you posted that, the first flight I took after 9/11, there was a big poster listing stuff not allowed in carry on, and one was chainsaws! Made me wonder how many people have ever carried a chainsaw on?
Any of you scroungers looking for some wood, coming down tomorrow. Should be ready to burn in a few yrs since the property owner waited til it was full of sap

Bring your saws, proof of insurance, and be prepared to repair the yard if you damage it. I know what I've got, HVCW(highly valuable cotton wood)

.I checked one, once.
Got a good deal on a HD rental (Makita, corded electric) on a trip.
Cleaned it up really good. Drained all the bar oil, and flushed the tank . Removed the bar and chain, and packed them separately. Labeled everything.
TSA ripped all the neat packaging apart. I guess that the electric motor, and guide bar, looked really interesting under X-ray?

Maybe an 026?
Edit:
Here's an ms260, real similar, but the 260 has flippy caps.
But I'm not the resident stihl guy
I like me some 026-028's
Now no fighting men, stop pushing, let's be gentlemen about this! I know it's a prize opportunity but...... LololAny of you scroungers looking for some wood, coming down tomorrow. Should be ready to burn in a few yrs since the property owner waited til it was full of sap
