Mines a fair old mash up of parts- pretty true to 064 in the bottom end, but the tank is a semi see through one. Might have to dig deeper into the parts bin, the chain brake linkages are a bit worn and it flicks on too readily.

Nice old muscle saw- mine is pretty much bog standard. I guess you have to figure out how to connect the fuel line and impulse onto the carb modification- then its a matter of the usual perishable items like the intake manifold rubber, seals and things like that. Chip guards on the starter can...

Took a couple of saws out for a run yesterday- had to process some logs into lengths that could be tractor shifted, some Pine (softwood) and some Macrocarpa (semi hardwood), varying size from around 15- 28" logs. Took an old faithful in the form of a 670 Champ Jonsered and freshly built 064...

Are Stihl saws not held together with 5mm bolts?

Take the cir clip out first- never looked at your photo before last answer.

Yes, 5mm bolt- thread into the hole and pull on that. May need to pry on it a little, but use common sense- you tear that thread out and you are in for a fun day.

Can you be more specific? Like what is happening and what isnt? Does it still manually oil, but not auto oil? I will have paper service manuals here somewhere- but if you can narrow down specific areas it might be a bit easier to share the information they hold.

The spark arrestor screen in the muffler is not totally plugged with carbon?

This cleaned and rebuilt the carb bit- are you sure the components all went back in the same position, same orientation. Is the pump side of the carb back together correctly, carb body, gasket, diaphragm and then top cover? Are the screens on the metering side sitting correctly in relation to...

Righto- sounds like you have covered the fuel delivery issues- except maybe a new tank filter. Next place Id be looking is air leaks- by pressure and vacuum testing the saw. Its a plastic clamshell and they are known for the cylinder coming loose from the engine pan and sucking large volumes of...

Not real familiar with the model- but...... Was it starting before you removed the carb and did a carb clean/kit? Are you 100% sure the lines going to the purge valve (primer bulb) are hooked up correctly? Could be you are pushing air into the carb- not drawing fuel up into it. Not sure if...

Yep, 500i is a very popular pro forestry saw here- along with the 661- but I dont do that no more, but good to know you have satisfied International clients.

Are you building them for increased chain speed- or torque- or a bit of both? Or, do you build them to the particular customers requirements? A stock 500i off the shelf here is near $3K- I don't own one but have run a couple and they are NICE, improved upon- they would be a weapon.

Page 49-51 or there abouts is what you are looking for- if not wanting to use the tried and trusted business card method- feeler gauges can be used. http://www.golftechs.us/Manuals/shin%20chainsaw_current.pdf

By now you probably have guessed, I have a bit of a Jonsered thing- or a thing for Jonsereds. ;) The latest to join the fold is a broken down 2255, which is from the end of the Jonsered era and basically a Husqvarna 455 in red and black. Was sold to me on the premise it does not oil- yet had...

The fins of your flywheel sit on a flange that extends out past the magnet faces doesn't it? So you set the air gap the exact same way- just the methodology has to change. A business card cannot be inserted from the top with the saw on its side- so it must be a card trimmed to the height between...

Welcome, hard for me to put a price on tools not in my local market- but here, good condition complete machines go for $700 to $1000 on a regular basis- factor in exchange rates and population variations and I guess you could halve that for USD. Best thing to do is search auction websites for...

Off a 435/440? I hate those saws with a vengance..... But, it sounds like something is not lining up, is bent out of shape, or is incorrect fitment. If chain has been replaced- could be as simple as incorrect gauge or profile of chain and it is physically too fat for the channel to run in. The...

Where I come from, self praise is no recommendation. Word of mouth from satisfied customers is where the money is at.
