I have three that need the handle assembly...

Me too. I've used an aftermarket one but even those are pretty spendy and eat up the flipping margin so I'm just waiting for a few parts saws to come my way.

I've also had problems with non OEM fuel lines on this series saw. I usually reuse the original if it's still pliable. I've rarely encountered bad ones. (well, not rare, but not a common problem)

For some reason Stihl likes to run their fuel lines like a curvy dirt road. The aftermarket lines tend to kink when making all of those twists and turns. I built several 026's and 029/039's with the supplied aftermarket fuel lines. Every one of them came back. All OEM on a Stihl from now on. It makes life so much better...

Plus 1 on oem lines the chinese ones I've used are kind of pressed or vulcanized together and they split at the seams haven't had to change many oem you'll know if it's bad usually it will be hard to start but wont stay running.

I think Oregon sells a fuel line for the 029 series saws that seem to work well..

1127 series are open port unless you got some prototype and the port bevels look ok from what I can see how do they feel because thats about the most important thing on these motors.

 

[kkemp]

The bevel feels good to me .
