Thank you for the suggestions and encouragement. I'm actually a very persistent person. I don't really give up on things and in general I'm very...
Good for you. There's one more Stihl thats going to continue to have a good life. I tried to restore a 020AV and eventually just had to give up on it.
Well here's the latest update. I give up. I've had this thing apart more times than I can count now. I've tightened every fitting, tried every...
It's been too humid to do anything to the woodpile for the past couple of months, but I have been taking note of which trees need to be taken down...
Can I "like" this a couple more times?
I've always had a fireplace or wood stove since I was a kid. I like selectively harvesting the weaker trees and giving the healthy ones a better...
Thank you for confirming that. I've got a new one on order. Let's see if that helps solve the problem. (Fingers crossed )
Well, I split the case on the saw again looking for the elusive impulse line. There is only one hose that goes to the top of the carb right above...
Howdy All. Heres an update... I got the carb put in and put the two halves of the saw back together, added some fuel and started pulling......
It's still doing OK. It seems like, if I can lift the logs up onto it, it will split it (with some exceptions). I estimate it has split over 5...
Yeup. Just as I hoped, the logs split like pages in a book. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Happy birthday America!
I found a guy with a personal saw mill on his property. All the 'leftovers' from the lumber will make great firewood. I do all the cutting into...
Screen is clean. I replaced the starter cord, and have been able to get the saw to run at wide open throttle for 4 to 5 seconds at a time and...
So I took the carburetor apart and replaced the gaskets and diaphragm. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I took the L and H needles out and used carb cleaner...
I replaced the fuel filter and internal tank fuel line. [ATTACH] Check out this tan powder that was in the base of the fuel filter. [ATTACH]...
While waiting for for carb rebuild kit, I replaced the pull cord... I remember working at a rock climbing type store at the time, and this thick...
Thank you for the reply and knowledge. I'll look into crank seals. (Are they just ill-tempered regular seals, or are they special?)
I've made a little more progress. The carb is out, and cleaned up a bit. I've ordered a rebuild kit for it which should be here next week. The...
Oh hey, I thought this was interesting. [ATTACH]
Now, get the case in half... [ATTACH] and there's 30+ years of sawdust and oil. Looks like I've got some cleaning to do. Oh well, its therapy...
