Hi and good morning to all I have a old Stihl 018 chainsaw that I have just rebuilt , there is 3 things that I would like to find out if possible , 1st what type of Chain Oil can I use apart from original Stihl Oil , ie can I use my Car oil 5/30 fully synthetic or semi synthetic or just good old mineral multigrade . 2nd When I assembled the Oil tank and fit the new tube into it , where exactly is the tube end to lay , I ask the question because the tank has a lower part where the tube goes into it then it steps up to where the filler cap area is , if I just put it in it will go up over the step and into the stepped up area where you can see the end ( filter ) , I have sort of fit it so it lays in the bottom of the lower part of the tank , but it ha had to be bent a little to get it all into that lower part of the tank !!! . 3rd What type of oil can I use for the 2 stroke mix , apart from Original Stihl 2 stroke oil , ie can I do the 50-1 mix using the chain oil ! . cheers and thank you all for any help forthcoming .PS: I hope that I have explained it clear enough . spike

Hi there OK got it started , I put a little oil in cylinder and it started up straight away , so I think it will need a set of rings at least , will strip it down and see what condition everything is , thanks for your help . cheers spike

Hi Thanks for your reply , sorry I did not know what you meant , the piston looks ok both sides from muffler side and from carb side .everything seems to be ok , spark seems to be ok , there is fuel getting there , I can not really understand why it will not start . Maybe I am not pulling it hard enough , it did fire up for a second or so when I first tried it a couple of days back , I tried to restart it but no luck , so removed the plug and it was dry so I thought it was a fuel problem , I then removed the carb and give it a clean out and check the Diaphragms , now it is getting fuel and there is a spark , not 100% sure how you tell whether it is a good spark ! . cheers spike

Hi I had taken the muffler off to see if there was any blockage , it seemed ok , it was all hollow so I don't know where they could of been any blockage , what do you mean scoring ! . cheers spike

Hi there I have a Old Stihl Chainsaw , I can not get it to start , good spark , but everytime I try to start it the plug gets wet , that is with and without using the choke , it seems to have good compression , but if I pull it over slowly , I can here hissing coming out of the carb inlet , is there some sort of reed valve for these 2 stroke engines ! . cheer spike
