Stihl hs61 hedge trimmers Engine starts plenty of new fuel at the carb & good spark on cranking. Engine runs for a second then dies, removed carb looked for dirt on removal diaphragm small split won’t help, pretty clean otherwise. Now hoping I did t cause the split prising the side cover...

After a good clean & the service kit fitted new oil she runs & cuts. Adjusted the carb idle the chain stopped spinning at Idle. Splutters a little but my fuel is old 5 yrs so to replace the petrol & oil mix. Cleaned all the grime out of the bar and wire brushed the chain re fitted lubed chain...

My mistake it’s a E clip not a C clip. Anyhow saw is running just needing a service parts now and getting a good clean. May even paint it look much better.

A 260 pro wow it gets better it’s value just gone up lol. May have a handle from a 026 that’s what the sticker says. Thanks for the information. Spent the afternoon cleaning it and looks far better.

Update oil pump fitted had to adjust oil pressure as wasn’t quite oiling but is now. Next job strip and clean washed covers & scraping off grime wash what I can. In doing so I came across a serial number I think it is can anyone shed some light what it means or is it just a number? I know...

Thanks for taking the. Time to reply my needs :) Well it didn’t go too well on inspection the pump and worm is not having it so mew parts ordered including both oil pipes, Stihl wanted a small mortgage for parts nearly £70 just for the pump as it comes in separate parts. Next week I’ll have a...

Update watched a video I believe the drive is ok the Circlip,stays attached to,the drive I have removed it see it’s left hand thread. It stays put. So rebuilt all cleaned out the oil tank found sludge in tank and filter end blocked hope that’s the only fault so far. Cleaned out to replenish...

Clutch how’s it look no broken springs

Removed the clutch some help required on the C clip is this the pump drive ? Does that centre looks like a seal come away from the pump or do I remove the pump? Thanks all

It has a flip up part to it not threaded.

It’s got 260 cover on probably been dropped. The sticker on the chain brake handle says 026. I don’t know you guys will know far more than me.

I’ll do a video later at the moment it’s in bits. Lol

Thank you for a reply. The clutch is it a left hand thread ? Will try to lock it to remove I guess. Il look at the idle it does seem fast. The service kits off e bay have a good deal including a carburettor with it all may as well replace that.

Hi just picked up a Stihl 026 it looks to have been last serviced 20 years ago !! It’s a very dirty saw in need of a good service. My compression test shows 145 psi how does that fare? The saw runs yet the oiler doesn’t appear to be working chain removed no oil at the port? Oil has some in...
