Stihl 026 advice

[GardenKit]

New 026's ???? They are 1 turn on each screw

 

If its an MS260, or MS261 then 3/4 on the H and 1 turn on the L is correct if the limiters are on.

 

The non adjustable pump on the MS260 Farmboss does not have a drive arm, but also has a different drum to the std MS260 which has an adjustable oil pump driven by an arm.

 

There is a conversion kit available to upgrade to an adjustable pump.

I have literally just re run in my 14 yr old 026 after having a new piston and a few other bits and bobs to go with it. Cost about £250.

It's like a new saw now and would prefer that to a new 261 which 'might' go wrong. The 026 NEVER went wrong in 12.5 yrs and then just started being a bit unreliable. So it got fixed.

 

Pleased to hear that having given the mechanic the go ahead. Just hoping the barrel isn't too far gone.

Think I will be putting my prices up, usually charge well short of £250 to sort out a seized saw!

You keep your prices where they are.

 

I will then send you may siezed saws I get to sub them out to you through me.....

There were other bits and bobs, av rubbers and things so I don't think it was too bad really.

No, it was probably fine and the dealer has his overheads to pay for - I just have my shed and a liking of cake with my tea:thumbup:

And I thought you would be a tea and cake man:lol:

 

I didn't mean anything by that, you do a much wider of variety of kit and I specialise in one type specifically - I know enough about business overhead from my manufacturing days - finished us off in the end:thumbdown:

Hi, usual me threw away the handbooks when the saws arrived last hear:001_rolleyes:

 

1, what's the hi and low settings? There are no numbers beside the screw holes:confused1:

 

2. The oiler, the clutch cover has the little notch out it, but there isn't a little spindle thing to turn, and the saw is oiling ok:confused1:

 

Is this a new design but use up a huge box of older covers!!!

 

Am I right in thinking they did this years ago and then went back to the turns thing.

 

Cheers:001_smile:

 

I still have my instruction manual for my 026 (as well as the saw which is still fine) which I bought 20 yrs ago. I could scan the relevant pages if you want provided you don't mind it in French?
