STIHL The Official Stihl Chainsaws Thread

[Stihl working Hard]

Well the free want add I placed for old chainsaws keeps paying off. A guy contacted me to see if I'd be interested in a old stihl. I ask him to send me a few photos. It looked good so we talked price and he said how about 40.00 dollars. Well I met up with him and brought it home.
This is a Top handle S-10 around 1967. I replaced the seals, rebuilt the carb and added a bucking spike. I can't believe the paint held up so good. Also he gave me a old Stihl sharpening guide with it. The bar is a windsor.

That little homeowner saw is better than it's supposed to be for sure. After I bought the MS362, I sold my MS290 and was going to sell the 025 and buy an MS241CM. I had several people talk me out of selling it.

I know it's small but $40.00 is worth a running saw

My one and only Stihl. Pretty sure it's a late model Brazilian. Serial is 33005xxxx. The decal on the chain brake handle has a print date of 1994.

You can laugh at me, what's a red light?

 

[Brewz]

No such thing as a silly question here mate

An 066 red light is an early model 066 that had a fancy electronic rev limited coil, that made a red light on the side flash when you were at peak RPM's
It only lasted a couple years which makes it kinda special, especially if you find one with a working red light as they were fragile and either broke, or were ripped out and changed.

I plan to do a restore job on it

By the way
If anyone has any really nice red light plastic sitting around gathering dust, let me know!

I haven't seen a red light 066 in so many years now definitely collectible though

I "F'ed" up today I'm putting a 250 motor in this saw so I'm putting a fresh piston and bearing etc. in it so I was putting in new piston pin circlips and I heard that sound that you don't want to hear and one popped out of my hand were it ended up who knows

So I need a new one maybe two since I already lost one for this piston

 

[Brewz]

I usually order 4 spare clips with a new piston.

Now days I take the saw to a small room with minimal clutter so if one goes into orbit, I have a better chance of finding it.

There are too many places for little clips to hide in my workshop

 

[MustangMike]

When I was trying to install the clip on the 460 I was afraid I was gonna launch it into outer space in my garage and never find it, so I took it to the local Stihl shop and they put it in for free for me!
