I found this tidy orginal early 064 on our local auction site recently, I need another 064 as much as I need a tooth ache so I thought I'd list it here where someone who will truly appreciate it might pick it up. I thought I'd document a few of the very early 1122 features that differ from the...

Kevin @huskihl ported this immaculate low hour 266SE for me three or so years ago and I just have too many other saws and not enough time to run them, so it's hardly had 3 tanks of fuel through it since porting and I need to make some space on my shelves. Kevin put a Meteor 268 piston in it...

I'm looking for an OEM 084 cylinder if anyone has one stashed away.

I have been very hesitant to post this, but as it is the second 084 I've found with exactly the same fault I felt it my duty (and I was encouraged to by another member) to post about it, as it may help others solve the same issue - as it stands to reason that if I've found it on two 084's there...

I just picked up this really tidy 048 cheap, but she's been straight gased :(. This series of saw is special to me as an 042 was the first saw I remember my Dad having, he picked his up as an early dealer demonstrator saw, when Stihl was introducing them and he was selling them. Now I would love...

Selling my tidy 084AV because I have two and my other one has just been ported by Tony Moy @Brewz and this one will just sit on the shelf. I purchased this saw here in NZ last year from a Polytechnic and I understand that it was used as a student training saw, and the insides show that its done...

I've got a customer's MS661C here and I simply can't get it to idle, it will come off revs and kick over a couple of times but then invariably die. In the absence of a LA screw, I'm a little stumped. I've checked the diaphragm and metering lever height, replaced the fuel filter and reset it...

I've never done a build thread before but I thought this might be a good candidate. I picked up what looked like a low hour early 066 from our local auction site: When it arrived I found it low on compression: Nice KS cylinder with the plating stripped off from a cheap no name piston and...

And they haven't even gone off or deteorated in transit, non refrigerated FedEx transport too. 4 days exactly from regional Michigan to regional NZ isn't too bad I expect. Thanks so much Kevin @huskihl . More to come

I'm looking to sell this very tidy original redlight 066 still with the original non-decomp Mahle jug and working red-light ignition system (and no it hasn't lost its limiting RPM - it still limits at exactly 13,500rpm). The reason for asking the question is that I was going to list it on our...

This is a beautiful example of a genuine Stihl HS246 Hedgetrimmer attachment for the 024, 026 and MS260 series chainsaw. It turns your saw into a ridiculously over powered hedgetrimmer that will hardly stop for anything. This is a rare example in its original packaging with the manual, fixing...

Here in NZ 90% of Stihl dealerships are fully branded 'Stihl Shops' as below. Instead of a Farm machinery dealer or hardware store with a corner selling Stihl, these are fully branded shops with a huge range and the staff wear Stihl branded clothing. Most have really good backup, lots of parts...

I have just picked up a 2015 395 with a toasted big end bearing. Can I put a 288xp crank in? They look dimensionally the same.

I have just recieved the NOS crankcase which the vendor says is for a 288xp: But I notice it doesn't have the hole for the locating pin on the sprocket cover like this one (just above the oiler in the pic): Has anyone ever come across a 288 without this hole?

As you might have seen, I posted in the 'what's on your bench' thread about the possibility of reproducing the Stihl 084 muffler given the rarity of them and the lack of an off the shelf replacement. I sent the muffler off my 084 (which was in great condition) to my brother in law who is a...

I did post this in the 'What's on your bench thread' but I wonder if the people who can answer my questions wont see it there! Anyway....I think I might have got a score on Friday! I caught up with my father's cousin who is now 80 and used to process firewood for a job. I knew he had an 084 and...

I need some help guys, HL Supply don't list caber rings for the MS661 and they say they don't have them, which does surprise me. It does appear the 395 ring will fit (56mm x 1.2mm), has anyone actually tried it?

I have just acquired a MS661C really cheap and although it runs, it has done a lot of work and compression is down (just under 150psi). I'm wondering if a top end refresh is in order; has anyone had any experience with the meteor/caber combination on these saws?

I have been trying to tune my stock MS461, with a mild muffler mod and don't quite know where to go next..... After warming it up I checked with my Stihl EDT5 tach and it seemed to be 4 stroking at 13,800 or thereabouts, I had a fiddle with the H screw but it didn't seem to make much of a...

Hello Chaps, I know I am a relatively new poster, but I've been reading this forum for ages and thought I'd see what response I'd get if I posted a HS246 for sale :) They're relatively common here in NZ and regularly pop up for sale. This is my own HS246 which I've used on my 026 around my...
