Hi Chris,

Mmm - the little Stihls are a different beast, done four now so they are simple for me now, in short, the air filter, carb plate, and carb comes out, the boot surround and insert comes out, the front kill switch wire comes off, the AV mount front and rear has the location bolt removed, the handle lower bolt is removed, the boot is pushed through the rear handle and the impulse pipe removed and the handle is removed.

The engine cover comes off and you can now get to the exhaust.

I think you can undo the exhaust through the lower casing holes then push the muffler out of the side of the saw but you may need to remove some of the clutch side plastic covers but I usually am stripping down these saws completely so would need to take a look! The two holes in the underside of the saw lead me to believe that the exhaust is removable from the saw without disassembling the saw.

I have sent you a mail before reading this!

Steve
