Thanks, just watched a donnyboy73. Will check out the other dude now, User smallengine also has some good vids for the Stihl repairs.

Hah a, I doubt the £283 I saved will be eaten up sorting this out. Besides, I love my troublesome little white and orange darling.

Damn straight, what a waste of time eh! I'll resort to the local dealer, cap in hand if push comes to shove. There's one not too far away who sold me an FS90 years ago, so I could use that as 'friend leverage' lol. Hole is clean, how should I line it up? Bar all the way back or forward? The oil feed seems to be a slit the length of the adjustment, so not an exact 'fit' as such. Could a loose bar be the problem? (I did it up pretty tight, what's the torque setting for a bar supposed to be?) Agreed, a local dealer might get the hump and make me wait ages for a five minute fix..not keen. Ok, I'll try some other things first, and check out youtube. It's not as complicated as a car or bike, and I've had them in pieces, so it doesn't phase me tooo much Thanks for your help all! Keep the suggestions coming, it ain't over yet!

See above, grasshopper

I didn't know what this was, so I've just watched a YouTube video showing how to change one. Obviously mine isn't worn out (as per the video) so thankfully I won't have to remove the clutch to check. I doubt the worm's 'arm' isn't located as the vid man said the e-clip won't fit if it isn't. Also the oil pump is producing prodigious amounts of oil, just in the wrong place (Fixed that for you) It's producing oil, the aperture (long thin slit) above the bar mounts was wet and oily. It just seems to be going elsewhere instead/as well this sounds feasable. Where would I inspect this, as in what bits do I remove to check? I want to get this sorted myself rather than undertake the 110 mile round trip to the dealer who'll say 'leave it with us' meaning a week later another 110 mile round trip. I don't suppose a local Stihl dealer will be very eager to help? Plus I'd rather know how the thing works, since it seems I'll be taking it apart every few days!

no worries dude. I was kinda expecting Sawtroll to be the first to 'unconratulate' me to be honest. I'm not that fussed, I've got a house full of saws I can use Just wanna get it sorted, as its a nice saw, not even broken in and with a dry chain, I like it!

:beerglass:I'm sure someone will be along soon with some constructive help..

I've got a nice cold can of Directors ale in my hand. Nothing gonna rain on my parade.

I bought it through a third party who received it for the Stihl dealer in Northampton via a home insurance claim. I could very easily take it back, but it's a bit of a trek for something I'm sure is easily fixed.

Yes thanks

Help! My brand new MS391 I topped up with fresh (Makita) chainsaw oil, and off I went to try it. Despite turning up the oil feed to near maximum, all it does is soak the exhaust, inside and outside of side cover, and the chains as dry as a lizards tongue. Chain was very hot when I stopped to investigate. This is with a brand new Stihl 16" bar and chain, so can't be due to clogging or anything. Still only half way through my first tank, if that. There was fresh oil showing in little trench where it feeds the bar, but for some reason it's not getting into the bar, but going everywhere else, mostly the exhaust. Worrying thought. I've read that the feed tubes for the pump on some stilhls can leak, but this is ridiculous. Any ideas, or this things going to be used to power a bicycle instead.

They'd better hurry up then, there's only four months left

In that case, I'll be immune.

Hi Biggy J, Could you publish a picture of what one of these pallets looks like please? -
Just out of interest Saw Troll, since you pop up on every forum relating to chainsaws the world over, saying pretty much the same thing... May I ask what your profession is and what saws you own? Just curious, as I cant help thinking the answers are: Marketing Executive - Husqvarna None - are you kidding me? Those big oily things are really heavy man!

Is this the one that was on ebay, photographed in a sunny garden about a year ago?

The ideal length is the same as the length of a piece of string.

When did you last grease the head/gearbox assembly?

Screw a couple of blocks of wood to the base of your planks to act as spacers. Lay flat across the flat roof and secure with long screws to the edge of the flat roof timber frame. You now have a flat level platform below the worksite to secure a ladder. Attach a safety line through the open window to something solid within the house just in case.

Tefal Spider or to use the Latin name 'arachnus mekonicus' The bite can cause swelling like this fella has...

Get me one while you're at it. A Stihl FS-560 C-EM would tickle my pickle.
