Single ring stihl

[50blues]

So I picked up this saw the other day. It's an 1121 series saw so either an 024, 026. The thing that has me suprised is it is a single ring saw.

It says made in west germany on the starter cover, but the tag on the top is gone. I haven't had time to pull the jug or measure the bore yet.

I have a 026 ipl, but dont for a 024. The 026 does not list a single ring saw. Does the 024? and is it common?

I put up a few pictures but my camera sucks, sorry.View attachment 254316View attachment 254317

Gotta be a 024.

Some of the earlier 024 models were single ring versions

 

[50blues]

I've had a couple none of them where single rings. Didn't know they ever made one.

Ive looked on Mediacat and there isnt a single ring piston shown.:msp_confused:

024

some early ones did,
does the top of the cyl look flat(024) or has it got cooling fins standing upright(026)?

Could even be an aftermarket piston.

A single ring piston will always be better than a two ring one, and it is best to leave the bottom ring out when putting the two ring pistons into the cylinder. The second ring is just in the way anyway - and just create some added friction, for no good reason!

And you've kept this info from the major saw manufacturers???

Why oh why??? ;-))

It is an 024.....

Actually there were a few models of Stihl that came out with a single ring...

I knew that they made a 009 single ring. But never knew 024 had single.

I remember seeing it on an 028 and 041 too.

I looked at the top of the cylinder and it is flat. So 024 for sure. I have just never seen a single ring one before. Its a really clean saw, no marks on cylinder or piston at all. Looks like it got a little close to a tree. Handle is broke, along with filter cover and filter.

Thanks for all the info. It is a german made saw not u.s. does that make a difference?

Should make a nice little saw.

Correct! The early German saws had 1 ring. I've stumbled across a couple over the years. Sold one to my neighbor.

Replace some plastic and it should be a runner.


thanks
