The Stihl 25" is really a 24" bar...
Not sure why they call it s 25...

 

[JohnnyBlade]

On a Husky 84dl is 24", it grows an inch on a Stihl. I don't intend to use it regularly with a 25 but I just wanted to see how it would do. I say untouched jug but when I cleaned the carbon out of the exhaust I hit the bevel on the exhaust roof with the diamond ball. It's so flat there's such little bevel I didn't want to tempt fate. Other than that I did what a couple members here familiar with the model have recommended. BGD, TA, opened the muffler, and a popup piston. I think you could hear in the vid how quickly it revs up.
*edit* Worth noting also is the mesh filter from Canada. I've read that they make quite a difference. I'll do my best to break it in before Joe does his dyno day and we can find out.

Really nice Tim! Now im excited! That huge log was a good torture test and she did just fine. Sounds like it held good rpm the whole way. I have some more parts on the way for mine still. Itll be a lil before she cuts but it seems like it will be worth the wait. I just remember the "if u could pic only one saw thread" and @Mastermind said a 034s or 036 with a 24". That kinda sunk in and went on the
NEED list

You should hit up one of our Canadian friends to get a mesh filter on it's way now.

Hmmm. Good idea but i ordered a late 034/036 AF first with the compensation on it first. Wrong. Didnt notice it in the pics. Then the old style i couldnt find in 1 piece. Had to order both flocked halfs separate. Im already in the saw for $50 some in AF's. Whats the tag on a mesh one from Canada? Lol! Ill have $100 worth of AF's in a $120 project saw

30-35 Dollars made of paper with the shipping.

I had a red one done up by Mike Toath. I got spooked when he had his moment and sailed it. Shoulda never. Lotsa balls for a 60cc...

Great saw for a 1 saw plan. Handles a 20” bar with ease and could probably pull a 28” on occasion if it had to.

What ever happened to him? We all have regrets selling saws. I sure do.

1 saw plan.

Yah that may have played into the decision too

Far as I know he's still doing saws here and there. @dustinwilt68 I believe is in regular contact. He never did me wrong, just had some life happen. He builds runners for sure. Once I get a non-easy start 5105 together I'll probably try and contact him to pick his brain a little.

Mike went through a tough personal loss, he is still doing saws, recently did me another 5105, he is a good friend. We help other when we can.

None of us are perfect. Life has a way of throwing us a curve ball when we least expect it.

I'm very sorry to hear he had some things happen. None us can predict the future and I hope he is on the road to recover as best he can. "Its dangerous business, stepping out your front door".

Agreed, sir.

Looks like a fine machine there Mr. Mike! Covered your feet pretty quick

Fantastic. Now the weather needs to cooperate.
