Stihl 036 Quickstop

[BonScott46]

Looking at going after a Stihl 036 Quickstop, seller says the quickstop is nonfunctional and is actually calling it Quickstart. I am not at all familiar with this feature besides that it engages the chain break when you let go of the tank handle. Does the normal chainbreak function work without the Quickstop functioning? If not how much would it take to convert this into a normal 036?

You'd need a new crankcase to convert. Here's a couple TI's that will shed some light on o & m.

If all the parts are there for the rest of the chain brake it should still function.

Looks to be missing the clutch cover and clutch, maybe more?

Either your felling dogs are upside-down, or your saw is.

Waiting for an answer as to if the saw is complete or not. That is just a picture the seller has showing under the clutch cover.

Not my saw yet. I saw the dawg was upside down, the seller is also calling it Quick Start instead of Quick Stop...

I don't see a brake band on that saw, so if he doesn't have at least that part, you won't have a chain brake (obviously).

Is it possible to just put a new non Quick Stop chainbreak assembly on these types of saws?

Well, looking at the service manual, I would hesitantly say no. They have completely different assemblies as far as I can tell. Hopefully one of the gurus on this site well step in and give you a definitive answer one way or the other.

I notice it is also missing a small lever and circlip that should be mounted on that pin between the crankshaft and the chain guide plate.
