MDG's don't count the hours dragged behind a truck as "use".
Or when they’re in the backseat while the owner is inside getting groceries
That's saw cruelty! Mine ride with me in the child seat of the cart.
Curious if it had a replacement solenoid, where is this information held?
The MDG said all systems were fine, but the solenoid didn’t pass the test. It was running very rich for 10 minutes and then it cleared up and ran fine.
What I'm slowly gathering is that if a solenoid doesn’t fix it, it’s likely the wiring harness or coil
Or the trigger unit on the carb...
Yep could be. I’ve bought a couple new carbs that didn’t fix the issues in my case. They needed a wiring harness or coil.
I had a 661 that gave me a fit. Other people said they replaced the carb. I tried the coil, wiring harness, flywheel, etc. Back to the trigger unit. Seems you can get the carb without it....."they" said.
You bought the saw from me I'm talking about. I had bought it back from the guy I sold it to originally. After I finally got it fixed, I milled a whole log into 1" boards with it to be sure it was good.
This is my friend's dead saw. He says that he poured red stihl oil and then she died. My saw is resting on the shelf. I use it very rarely
Mastermind, I got carried away cutting into an old style cylinder and ended up taking .050 off the base and my intake is now at 90. Wondering if the new slug would work to fix my timing with skirt trimming or should I jb the intake back to 80-85ish. And do I need to jb the stratos too? Also will leaving ex at 105 help or should I shave it a little to keep with the design of the saw?
