They are around $850 new. A nice light, snappy saw, though.

I am pretty sure the carb is good. Planning on replacing points/condenser with chip and a new coil. Thanks everyone. Jon

Checked it already. Thanks. Jon

I have a Stihl 020 AVP. The cylinder and compression are good and there is a good spark. I have rebuilt the carb. The saw idles well but will not rev. It has points and condenser ignition system. I am wondering if the saw has a bad condenser. Pretty sure the carb is good. Have checked it...

Just acquired a Stihl 034. Is there a service manual available? I stripped it down last Saturday. Thank you in advance. Jon

I have 4 Stihl saws. Like them all, but by far the 241 is my favorite, also known as the wildcat. It has a great power to weight and is much more saw than it looks. Jon

Sometimes you can clear a speck of crud in the aftermarket carbs by removing the idle and high speed screws and spraying carb cleaner into the idle and high speed circuits. The aftermarket carbs seem a little more sensitive regarding small particles of crud. This has worked twice for me...

I agree that there are good parts from Taiwan. Why should we need to upgrade poorly done parts from Hutzl? My main points are poor customer service from Hutzl and their inconsistent and sometimes poor quality parts. We are buying complete parts kits. Good luck for anyone dealing directly...

After building a MS 660 and two MS440 kits, I have decided that building more Hutzl kits are not worth the investment and frustration of trying to deal directly with Hutzl. I had a very bad experience trying to get a damaged order taken care of. I will say that Hutzl is consistent - with some...

The MS 440 was the second Farmertec kit I have built (also built a MS 660). I am not sure whether I will build another. There is a lot of inconstancy regarding the parts quality and the parts count. Also, when you add the price of a good bar and chain, $100-200.00 of OEM and quality AM parts...

Be sure to check the clearance between the oil pump line and clutch drum. With the issues of the PTO side of the crank being a little too short to fit the e clip on, the clearance was even more critical. My clutch drum wore into the Hutzl oil pump line. I used the OEM oil pump, a much better...

I recently purchased an aftermarket cylinder from HL Supply for my Hutzl MS660 kit. Over-all the cylinder looks good inside but there is damage where the holes for the mounting bolts are. HL Supply offered to replace the cylinder, but do you think it is usable with 1184 and Stihl OEM base...

Hello all. New member and very interested in building a Farmertec saw. Have enjoyed working on all engines and have owned Stihl 056 and 038 magnum saws. My 038 was 31 years old and still running strong when I sold it. So which saw would you suggest for a first build saw? Have been favoring...
