OEM parts are available, but new Stihl OEM stuff is pretty much dealer-only. Every once in awhile however, you can find what you need on eBay....
Is this an air-cooled engine or liquid cooled? Big difference in the oil requirements. But the wrong oil for the cooling type is better than...
Greek Pizza is some of the best pizza IMO. Plenty of Greeks around here, very common for a pizza joint, diner or deli to be Greek owned here.
Could always leave it off just for fun.
You can certainly open up the holes in the baffle but there is an even bigger restriction in these. Look straight in the exit slots on the front,...
In regards to new saw break-in..... Do not be afraid of WOT. Just refrain from WOT with no-load. Stick it in the wood, hold it to the rug....
E-Gator eh? Been awhile since I've seen one of those. How's that treatin ya?
Huh, now that you mention it, that looks like the new clutch cover from the latest "spy photos".
If those mufflers are the same as the Craftsman/Poulan models, then they really aren't that restrictive. You could carve up the baffle a bit and...
That's the venerable Super 2. Yours is the more desirable twin trigger, earlier version. They run real good when all is well, but the fuel and...
The new muffler interferes with the tank? Can it be offset with a couple pipe fittings?
Do you really need a saw that heavy? If you are cutting up to 14" wood, that's definitely enough saw for the job. But they are quite heavy for a...
Small wire brush would probably do the trick quite nicely. Being that it's usually just standard 1" pipe thread, you could get awful creative...
A most excellent arrangement except for missing out on my favorite part, cutting down the tree!
Drill it. Start with a SHARP bit, maybe 1/8" and work your way up in 2-3 steps. When you get close to the diameter of the bolt shank, step up to...
Blow the exhaust whichever way suits your needs. On a 5hp flat-head Briggs, restricting the exhaust a tad isn't the first thing holding that...
Take the old one off first. If you snap a bolt off in the block, buy a pipe thread muffler. If not, go with the super lo-tone.
How else are ya gonna learn? :yes: I'd rather figure it out on a handful of China reject saws than a $600+ pro-saw....
And prices higher than new from TSC. :doh:
In this modern era, setting the chain brake mitigates almost all the dangers of drop-starting a saw. It was an approved procedure in some saw...
