Which carburetor do you have? That is importand to know.

 

[bogieboy]

As @DND 9000 said, theres 2 different kits, wether you have the 1145/22 carb, or the 1145/27 or the zama c1q-s274c, which shares the same kit as the 1145/27.

Difference in kits is what metering diaphragm is in it...

Defective piston? No signs in the cylinder off damage and the saw ran. Ms192

Got a mtronic 261 injector changed, reset many times ,, runs like a scalded dog until you try to restart it hot, just a pig till it cools after tons of reading guess its time for coil,/control unit

Looks like bad porous casting to me...

I will have to pull it and report back. M-tronic is as much as I know for now.

Well, decision time came today...i ended up getting it for $24 on sale... gotta love aliexpress... this will be mtronic saw #3 (4 if you count the 201t that i did a stock build on for my coworker... he hasnt taken delivery yet, as hes recovering from bicep reattachment surgery...LOL gonna be a little while before he can pull that over) in the stable... sometimes its nice to just let the saw do its thing... like the other night when i ran my 044 and my 661, stupid me forgot a carb screwdriver for the 044... didnt run it hardly at all, because it was rich for the air density...4 stroked about 10k...and had no way to adjust it...

So anyways, gonna have a 362 rebuild here in the next month...LOL

Your a certified Stihl tech and work at a dealer but are using 26$ china rebuilds on your own saws?

Yep.... call it research, call it being cheap, call it being poor.... even with a cylinder kit at dealer cost, its still over $200... and i ended up not using the cylinder anyways, as the casting was absolute garbage...which i kinda expected...piston was perfectly fine and appears to be of decent quality, have a tank thru it already on the piston and honed oem jug...

To me well worth a caber piston or oem piston/cylinder because it’s hard to sell a saw with cheap mechanical parts if you tell the buyer what was used and not just rebuilt. You’d be surprised how many people are selling a rebuilt saw up here for 5-700$ but won’t tell you what they used for parts to build it.

I dont sell saws....LOL i have Chainsaw Aquisition Disorder.... currently at about 12 saws, (7 stihl, 1 poulan 1800, 1 maccullough mac 1-10, and three cheapies) and live in a 2nd floor apartment and dont own any land...LOL

Sounds like you need to get some trees growing on the roof. That'd reduce carbon emissions and other "environmental" problems in the town or city...

Fun fact... i do saw work for the cross cut world record holder/commentator Kevin holtz...LOL hes a tree guy local to me, and do his dirty work...LOL was at his shop last week putting harnesses in ms201t saws...

I attended Timbersports in Milwaukee last year but have no desire to go to that city this year. If attending bring hearing protection for the hot saw competition! Louder than any stock car race I‘ve been to.

I have a bunch of 029-039 saws and parts that I’m going to start building a selling for firewood guys. Have one 039 that got run over and has about 1/2 the fins missing on the top of jug only the rest looks good. What’s everyone’s opinion on if it will run too hot or not missing just the portion of fins on top but has all the rest. Do I dare build a saw out of it and sell it to a guy to use after I let him know the fins are missing? Would never sell it without letting buyer know but I would think it would cool fine personally. Rest of the cylinder is nice that’s why I thought about using it. I’ll send some pictures this afternoon.

Hey all, I don't have a ton of saw experience, so here are a couple of newb questions.
I bought a couple of HT135 pole saws (mostly because the fixed-length saws were unavailable), and only now am I realizing that they use
Rollomatic E Mini guide bars (that are unavailable) and 3/8" STIHL PICCO™ Micro™ Mini 61 PMM3 chain. I haven't received the saws, yet, but is there any chance this head can use some other brand of bar, and maybe a 0.050 gauge so more common chain can be run? Thanks!

It’s still going to use the rollomatic 3005 mount bar like the small saws ect so find it hard to believe you can’t get bars and the chains will also be the same 1/4” pitch or 3/8 picco not familiar with what chain that one comes with. I’m sure if you switch to .050 3/8” picco it will run it but will probably cut slower than the .043. If it’s 1/4 pitch on it than more than likely it’s .043 which is more common than .050 1/4” pitch like the old Stihl 020 av and avp ran in the 70’s.

Thanks for responding. I assume it comes with a rollomatic bar and a 3/8 picco. Anyone have a link to a crosswalk, or whatever they might call it, for using some other brand of bar that's cheaper and more easily purchased?
