A lot of mixed views and all taken on board seems like Marmite some love it others hate it the post by adamam easy to repair and get hold of parts sells it to me more than anything . Re The comments about bar size i have seen them for sale with 18" bars on out of interest how dose this saw perform with this size bar Cheers
-
Cheers stubby and spud I tried to do a search but for some reason the forum won't let me
-
As above I am getting a used ms 260 with a 16" bar this weekend and as mentioned in a post last week these saws seem to do good money on eBay ect so why is this saw so highly rated and are there any problem's asosiated with this model Cheers
-
Duncan were did you end up ordering the 5121 from and how much I'm thinking of getting to be my self let us know how you get on with it
-
So are the ps500 and the dcs5121 the same saw?
-
Were from mate
-
Cheers mate
-
I like the look and price of the makita 5121 I might have a go at one myself can you get a smaller bar and chain for the saw Anyone else using one or had any exspeariance of this saw
-
Great topic read it with intersest should help advise a lot of members
-
Cheers swinny / spud that puts my mind at rest I'll look into the convention as not only dose it waste oil it leaves a mess
-
When left on the floor on tick over my 024 leaves a pool of oil it oils the bar OK when being used as said it only happens when put down ticking over and When set down not running just after use iv had a look at the oiler tube ect and all looks fine so thought iI would throw it out to you guys on here as this site has never let me down before Any ideas cheers
-
Glad I kept the old stihl one now it will give me a bit of time till I call to the local dealers Cheers
-
No the sprocket dose not look too bad to me but I'll get a second opinion i did not know you can get just the springs I'll have a look now cheers for the advice
-
It would not be cost effective to use stihl parts on a 024 of this age
-
My stihl 024 that I have more or less rebuilt / new piston and cylinder fuel pipe and fillter pull cord ect is up and running and just about run in but earlier this week I could not stop the chain runing on at tickover so thought I would have a look at it today on striping the saw I noteced the non genuine clutch That I bought of the net had 2 of the 3 springs missing so it had very little resistance and was constantly engaged even at low tickover i know you get what you pay for but this as seen very little use and I will be contacting the supplier and I'll let you all know how I get on. I have now put the original stihl clutch back in the saw as any one else had this sort of problem
-
Have you tried carb cleaner mate it seems to shift most gunkey things not tried it my self just a thought
-
if a person asks for a saw porting then as adults that is there choice any saw is dangerous if not used properly or in the wrong hands but a disclaimer might be the way to go to cover yourself
-
We need some one to be brave and drill the exhaust out carnt do the 86c at work not till the warrentey runs out anyway . Or send them all to spud for porting
-
Dry it is then cheers guys
-
Got a new stihl blower at work 3weeks ago and it's not as powerful as the 2year old Mikita I'll be watching this post with interest
-
New piston and cylinder fitted but as I was puting it back together thought I would check the gauge fillter in the carb as suggested by spud (I had just cleaned this a week ago) and it was sh-ted up again cleaned it out put saw back together and running it in slowly for first few tanks so far so good . Orderd a new fuel line and fillter and cleaned air fillter hopping it will solve the problem of it geting sh-ted up again they should be here tomorow
-
Just a quick one I have cleaned the air fillter on my 024 today gave it a scrub with warm soapy water and dryed it with a hair dryer should the fillter be lightly oiled or put back dry cheers
