STIHL The Official Stihl Chainsaws Thread

[hacskaroly]

They need to work on their quality control in the catalog... maybe there was a mistranslation from German to English and metric to imperial...

Almost as good as the 5500 cc saws on Aliexpress

Intelligence is a thing of the past fellas....

Yep. MS261cm has always been 50cc. Misprint
I guess the joke's on me.

I could piss on a snow cone and sell it.

How often do you get asked how many pistons a chainsaw has? I had a customer ask how to change the motor oil in a "new" to him Stihl....

 

[Hoser]

My local dealer said no matter how much explaining he does he still gets atleast 5 saws a year with the oil tank full of mix oil and straight gas in the fuel tank

I have had a couple of people ask me if a valve job was included in my price.

 

[Hoser]

I can’t criticize too much. I had a massive Skil chainsaw when I was 13 and it said on the fuel cap to only use sae 30 16:1 (or something like that). I F’ing near choked to death buzzing up a cord, I thought old saws couldn’t use modern oil.

It wasn't "valve" they meant. They misspoke.

Should have said the saw does it automatically every tank full of mix, and wait for the next stupid question.

You sure that wasn’t rims jobs they asked about?

Well this thread has taken an ugly turn...

City dropped off an MS193T this week, said it wouldn't stay running. Based on a little experience with these models I suspected the impulse line had either come off or had a hole in it. Tore it down to check the impulse line and it was fine, replaced the fuel pump diaphragm in the carburetor and still wouldn't stay running. Finally replaced the fuel filter which did not look bad at all and fixed it just like that.



They are pretty hard on their equipment, broken plastics, missing bits, but they get the job done.

Fuel filter is often overlooked. Good catch.

I feel like thats even moreso an issue on stihls, since they dont actually have the true filter media exposed, you need to disassemble the filter to see anything other than the prefilter mesh
