    Connection/running Issues 560xp

    @SimonHS Thats a great point, pressure test is next on my to do list 👍🏼 @Stump Shot Thanks for taking the time to write all that out for me man, I’m hoping to have time this coming week to lay into it some more, I’ll work through your checklist. The autotune system is something I’m only just...

    Ms390 Potential Air Leak?

    Also, forgive my ignorance, is this little spring part of the exploded crank seal? :thinking:

    Ms390 Potential Air Leak?

    Well lads I had chance to look at her this afternoon. Monumental air leak in the crank seal on the clutch side, see picture of the remains. The carb passed pressure and vacuum no problem, I adjusted the metering lever a little and we’ll see how that get on when she’s back together. @hacskaroly...

    I’ve just had a thought, I’ve recently started running Sta-bil fuel stabiliser in my saws due to the high ethanol fuel here in Ireland. Could that be messing me up? I’m probably around 15 litres into using it, primarily on the saw in question. Thanks in advance

    Connection/running Issues 560xp

    This trick however, bought the saw to life finally, I don’t know whether I’d unstuck the needle when I was cleaning and checking it out (I didn’t see anything). But after reassembly and cranking it with the throttle open she coughed to life :thumbup: She ran a little cranky so I set it to one...

    Connection/running Issues 560xp

    Apologies for the delay in reply lads I was running a course this week and my mind was elsewhere, I stripped the 560 down last Friday to getting it working for this course. Here’s what I found… nothing of note :facepalm: Cable under the Flywheel looked as good as new, as did all the cables...

    Ms390 Potential Air Leak?

    Ahh I had no idea, I just liked the look of them, that’s pretty neat. It’s an aftermarket carb, although I’ve had good luck with the manufacturer in the past. Thanks @FederalQ

    Ms390 Potential Air Leak?

    Hi Lads, I’m putting an Ms390 together to give to a buddy and it’s behaving strangely when I start it up. It’ll cough on choke and then start as normal, but it’ll then race without any throttle input. It doesn’t respond to any carb adjustments either as far as I can tell, it’s currently at 1...

    Connection/running Issues 560xp

    Ahh that’s a fair point, I did every field repair trick I could think of except for that, it just felt like I’d left the coil disconnected and tried to start it, there was literally no response, but I’ll try that too when it’s back together Thanks @Brad Button 👍🏼 I’ll keep this thread updated...

    Connection/running Issues 560xp

    Yeah it’s Mk1, I’m away for a week currently but I’ll look into that when I get back, it would be sweet if it’s that simple. I’ve had the flywheel off when stripping/cleaning recently but you never know. Thanks @Quzick 👌🏼

    Connection/running Issues 560xp

    That’s interesting, I’m hoping for a simple solution naturally, but it’s handy to know how things might play out if I do need to take it further. It’s an excellent saw and has given no issues whatsoever until now, here’s hoping I can get it back on its feet. 🙏🏼 Thanks for that info @hacskaroly 👌🏼

    Connection/running Issues 560xp

    Hi Gents, A few months back I took my 560 to the local dealer to get it flashed so I could check the hours etc as I got it second hand from my father in law and wanted to see how much work she’d done, as I was due to get very busy. To cut a long story short the dealer couldn’t get his unit to...

    044 Serial Lookup

    Hi Lads, It’s cheeky of me but I thought I’d chance my arm, is someone able to search up a serial number from an 044 for me? 12046930 I’m curious to see how far she’s come, greetings from Ireland. Thanks in advance

    Stihl & Oregon Chain Codes + File Sizes Quiz

    Evening lads, I have a technical evaluation coming up and a part of it is identifying chains from the codes stamped on them, as well as the file size needed for sharpening. It’s usually limited to Stihl and Oregon, and the most common chains of each, more of a general knowledge rather than...
