Hi all
I recently picked up a Stihl 07. It’s in reasonable condition, starts easily and runs well.
I’ve given it a good clean and everything seems to work fine, although the starter ring gear is worn and needs replacing. It’s a metal ring gear.
My local Stihl dealer provided me with a replacement ring gear, however, it is plastic.
Will the plastic one work where a metal one was fitted originally? If not, any ideas where I could get a metal one?
How do I get the original ring gear out? I have the flywheel off, but there’s not a lot of room to insert a punch or similar to drive the ring gear out.
I’ve attached a few photos...because what good is a post without photos?
BTW, I’m in Australia.
Thanks
