r/stihl

Has anyone seen this bar in the US? I’ve been trying (and struggling) to find it but all I can find are Stihl dealers in other countries that sell it. Part number should be 3003 000 3309 according to Stihl AU website.

Does anyone know what the part number for the plastic piece that slips into the bar oil port hole? Appears in a crankcase diagram I found, but wasn't listed.

Also, is my saw pissing bar oil because that piece is missing? I've closed the adjustment screw on the bottom and just barely cracked it open, and thoroughly cleaned under the oiler plate and used a paper clip to poke that one valve thing. So this missing piece is all I can think of now.

seems too cool to throw out 🤦‍♀️

Two 461s and a 039av. All had compression got one of the 461s running and the 039 but the 2nd 461 has no spark

I installed a new Autocut C 26-2. I put .095 line in it. It releases the line way too fast. It goes through 12 feet (on each side) in about 7 or 8 minutes. It releases when I didn't expect it to. It seems the bump is on a hair trigger. When it does release, there is about 12 or 14 inches protruding. It takes it a while to cut itself to the proper length once that much comes out.

I am cutting weeds, not grass. They are pretty tall - 18 inches or so. Some of them have stems up to 1/4 inch.

I’ve got this fs460 and unsure on how the housing is meant to fit on. No screws missing but it’s loose.

One just needed new gas, added a spark plug to the next and the third I adjusted the gap to the coil and had to reattach the boot and spring for the spark plug. I’m sure they all have some other issues with oiling or something but considering they’re all running now with no money spent on them I’m pretty stoked.

My buddy gave me this MS250. The compression is 90 psi, which seems low. The piston looks toast. Should I get a whole new cylinder kit for it? It has a clean carb, sharp blade, and strong spark. I'm not really sure if these little saws are worth putting the money into.

For context I do Lawncare professionally but I’m not very busy yet, typically I do like 3-5 yards a day.

I’ve had this same problem for 2 other stihl bg 86 blowers. First one I got off of fb market and it worked great for a few months then wouldn’t prime after some use, because of this I got a brand new one and literally after one day of work on the last yard of the day it refused to prime and I couldn’t get it started(and couldn’t finish the yard).

So I was like “ ok maybe I just got unlucky, I’ll just return this dud and get another one.” So I do that and I have the same problem??

It just weird bc the old one I got off fb market worked perfectly for a like 3-4 months, and these literally brand new ones are failing to prime after just a day of use. Super frustrating

Any tips on how to fix this? Or maybe I just need to get a heavy duty backpack mower for this heavier workload?

Truck went down and had to get to work

Currently have a FS561C, FS251R, FC111, and BR800X. I bought all these with extra cash from flipping mowers and other lawn equipment on Facebook marketplace. Honestly would highly recommend spending a lot of time on marketplace in the early spring/summer time if you want some extra cash to buy other Stihl goodies.

Earlier my FS94R was having an issue with the throttle being stuck on full. When I took apart the trigger assembly, it exploded into all these pieces. When I pulled the throttle cable, the carburetor rebounded shut so that tells me the carburetor itself is fine. But now, I am stumped on how the trigger assembly goes back together.

I will so appreciate a step by step on how to reassemble the trigger components. I am also suspecting my whole stuck throttle issue was because of the trigger in the first place, so any ideas on that would be so wonderful.
