2nded .

No worries . Hope you get it resolved whatever it is . .
-
Ok . Part of the casting then .
-
Ok . That's good . There are ways to repair it if it does . Bottom right hand corner of the dent looks like it might go through but I'm only seeing it on my PC and I'm in West Sussex !
-
Rectangular shaped dent about the center of the chain oil tank wall on the front of the saw below the exhaust . Can see it in the pictures you posted .
-
Did not mean the piston of the engine . There is a small piston in the carb that acts as an accelerator pump when you first squeeze the throttle . If this plays up it can cause erratic running symptoms . You can mod it to do away with this with an earlier type of carb that did not have this feature .

Those hovering black blocks are dodgy IMO . Like something out of Dr Who
-
Impulse line come off ? accelerator ( piston ) pump knackerd ?
-
Looks like a hole punctured in your oil tank ( rectangular shape ) or am I imagining it ?
-
Does in run and cut ( I think it runs now ) If so its not worn out . Why do you think its worn out ?
-
Tightwad !
-
Dont know . Is it listed for your saw ? I thought most Stihl ground saws were .063 gauge but don't quote me on that . Best put a vernier or mic over the drive links of your chain first .
-
Only if its for your Stihl . Mount stud size , oiler hole position , that sorta thing . Be silly to get the right gauge and pitch only to find the oiler hole does not line up or it wont fit over the bar studs .
-
Looks a bit twisty but maybe Field Maple ?
-
No . I would not do it either . Was just a suggestion for this one so you could get some use out of it .
-
Ah yes . Of course
-
No . You get a proper tank vent and replace the screw with the vent that should be there . That is if it is a screw . If its the proper tank vent then leave it as it is .
-
Its common sense as i see it . Hands ether side of the blade . If in doubt use a push stick . Keep the ground around it clear of trip hazards and crack on .
-
If you keep running it with no vent , and it has sealed , it will eventually stop oiling as the vacuum increases .
-
I remember not long ago when the FC had to bollock them selves for a clear fell of hundreds of cubic meters of timber which they did not get a felling license from them selves for the said sight . Made me chuckle .......
-
Yes , but , If the proper breather was in place it would not . It acts like a one way valve allowing air in (so the tank does not pull a vacuum ) but no oil out .
-
I don't . My Oregon or Stihl chains go strait on with an 8 pin . Just a suggestion IF the op was using an 8 pin . Not sure that he is though .....
-
Are you using an 8 pin ? If so fit a 7 pin and run it for a bit till its done the initial "stretch " and go back to the 8 pin .
-
He did my 372 ( amongst others ) and its a loony !

Only the usual thieves getting easy access to your kit .
