Stihl 036 QS

[RI Chevy]

Anyone know anything about a Stihl 036 QS? I guess it stands for quick stop. Are they any good? Can they ne converted easily to a regular type saw?

QS stands for the rear handle activated chain brake. Activated by removing the hand from the trigger handle. Probs can remove it.

Thank you sir.

Stay away from them lol! I got one and all the QS stuff is nla and missing. I'm thinking it going to be a great candidate for a square wood racer.

The pto case half is different and I'm pretty sure the crank is different too iirc.


Are you looking to get one?

I have never heard of anyone liking it. Don't know how hard it is to remove.

Could be, if all other brands aren't allowed.

What are you trying to say? Stihls aren't fast?

I saw one on CL that was in puff condition, except it was this QS version. Just checking into it. If they are an issue, I will stay clear of it.
Thanks for the insight guys.

Thanks for the thread link @Dub11.

I would stay waaaaaay clear! I understand the idea behind it on the smaller saws if you have an inexperienced operator. But on a 60cc saw it just seems silly to me.

Yup. I waa hoping there was a way to just dismantle the QS stuff, and use the saw as regular, but I guess not. Piston ans cylinder may be good. I could sell the parts for the QS. If they are worth anything.

There is a way to do it but it would involve another crank case and a few other odds n ends and likely involve a full rebuild. Honestly Jeff, run away far away. I'm sure it could be parted out to get your money back but at that point is it worth it?

Run Jeff and don't look back

What are you guys talking about? As Captain of Team Stihl isn't Jeff required to buy every one he sees?

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. Gotta be a smart shopper. [emoji106]

I may be Team Stihl, but I am not independantly wealthy. [emoji2]

No wonder why they only produced these saws for a very short time. Looks like just a bad design. Almost a completely different saw.
I'll stick with traditional type chain saws. [emoji106]
Thanks for all the help guys.

Jeff, if you are looking for another 60cc saw how about an 034 Super Arctic?

For sale locally, I could pick it up for you...
