Who buys a Stihl MS 881 to build a tree house ? Preloved ad.
-
Does it share any parts with the TS760 disc cutter ?
-
If something was wrong enough to warrant stripping maybe it should have gone back before you got the tools out, that's all I'm saying. Now you've started the job it's like closing the horse after the stable has bolted don't you think. He could come back with something like "it was alright when it left us" or he might do the decent thing and replace it. I've just looked back and it says brand new saw but no mention of warranty.
-
Is it out of warranty and are you classed as a domestic user, what was your reason for stripping it ?

He'll be stood in his own personal cloud running 20:1 😄

Friend of mine brought me a chain to do on the Lidl sharpener as it was in a bad way. He was cutting a 10" trunk and hit a metal bar straight down the middle of it. He did admit to it though didn't try to blame anything else. Only a couple of teeth were completely lost so it's now a semi skip.

Doe Dolmar still do their version ? PS 5105
-
Stick an Allen bolt in it with the correct thread, the head pattern doesn't matter.
-
Do you not turn your bar to equalise wear ? Everybody else does. Just don't turn the chain backwards as well, all will be good.

Probably didn't get the answer he wanted 🤷♂️

I had one of these doing similar and all it needed was the metering lever lifting a bit.

I have the 036 which I bought a few years ago and can vouch for it still being a usable classic. -
Got a Husqvarna 236 with a chain tensioner problem. Problem is the chain tensioner has gone, it's missing completely. One ordered from GHS should be an easy one.

How long is a piece of string ? It's a bit hit and miss guessing settings, I just fitted a carb kit to a McCulloch and the H & L screws are both 2.5 turns out to get it to run. Set the tick over high and get it running to warm it up then try from there.

MS460 has a separate cylinder and is a good saw to work on but it's no lightweight. I fitted a Stihl OEM cylinder and piston to the one I bought as it had the plug stripped and a broken ring land on the piston.
-
I notice that the professional saws have a black handle insert round the trigger interlock.as opposed to a white or all black rear handle.
-
It looks like it's a fireplace insert not an actual stove. Belper is only about 8 miles from where we live but I never heard of Firecast.

I was there that day, can you see me waving ?

Had a well used McCulloch Dakota 442 on the bench, non-runner. Dismantled and cleaned carb and fitted a carb kit, bit of a fiddle as they have a cable instead of linkage but it went back together and fired up third pull. It runs nice enough for a dog but I put fuel in it and left it on the bench, went back next morning to a stink of fuel and a half empty saw. The tank breather is in the middle of the fuel cap (stupid idea) and it's failed so a new cap is on way from eBay. Owner is on holiday for another week so it should be ready for when he gets back.

I refer the honoured gentleman to this thread

Meanwhile, in the fourth dimension the tree still stands.

Can't start my MS460 from cold without the decomp button.
-
Just had a look in the shed and there's an 020AVP minus bar and clutch cover in there, sparks but doesn't run and not worth messing with.

Worm wheel sounds like a toy for a pet worm😁

That plastic plug thing is your worm drive for the oil pump, looks well mangled.
