And just to make things more confusing, this site shows the model number as 3003 008 3313 but claims it will only work on the newer 261s and not the old ones. HUH? The bar interface on the 261 changed??? NEW 16" Light 04 Guide Bar for 67 Drive Link .325" x .050" (1.3mm) STIHL Product Code...

I went to my local Stihl dealer today trying to buy a 16" 325 Stihl "Light 04" bar for my 261. She said it exists only in 18" and 20", and showed me the book that there was no 16" option. The 18" option was 3003-008-3317 However when I search online, I see the 16 for sale at Ace Hardware...

The choke knob on my BR-700 blower is no longer working properly. I am assuming something snapped off inside? Is this a common thing? I can start it by holding the knob with one hand... but it runs like *s-word.. and idles too high.

Bump. It's been over 3 years now. Is this for sale in the US yet? I asked my local dealer ever few months for 2 years. I'm done asking him!

Still no issues on the Tsumura .050 bar?

That's good to know. My dealer is saying the chain can be ordered, but the light bar is still not available. It's been over a year. I still don't understand why Stihl d!cks around for so long before bringing stuff to the US. o_O

I also posted it in Jason Egan's Facebook group. I had about 10 replies within 5 minutes. 2 offering to buy it, and the rest telling me I priced it too low. LOL. Oops.

Stihl has a new narrow kerf chain 325 chain coming out, if you want to go that direction instead.

Oh man, why did your hydrolic pump need replacing? I'm sorta wishing I had bought the manual lock version. If you're not careful the hydrolic can lock the chain in a slightly raided position, which completely changes the cut. So I find myself using one hand to hold the cutter while I lower...

Thanks for the tips everyone. I got it working again. All I needed to do was put the pin back, but it was impossible to do without some disassembly because you can't see what's going on inside the sheath. I took a snap ring off the top pin and removed it, then removed the sheath. The...

Yeah, the pin was out a bit so I slide it back in. No luck. I removed it entirely and now the arm go up and down, but changes nothing. I tried pulling the arm down, and then pressing the pin in, but it won't go. I can't see anything that's going on in there because it's covered with a...

Tonight I was using my Oregon 620 grinder and it was working fine, but then all of a sudden it ended up stuck. Somehow the grinding wheel and arm came up but the hydraulics didn't release the chain so it's stuck in there. I also can't lower the arm - it goes about 1/4 of the way and then...
