Well, I got my soul put all back together. I started it it started right up and then I did not have my kill wire on right so I went back redid my kill wire like it was supposed to be and it won’t hit a lick now. I check the compression on it and it was at 120 pounds should be good enough to start it but it will not start. I checked the spark getting plenty of spark getting plenty of gas so it’s got to be the compression on it will 120 pounds start that or does it need to be over 150 before it will run
@@JKSawShop the one on 290 was a little different it had the safety on the trigger release it would stop the chain as soon as you let off the handle but i took that off
the screw thing is very relateable :) but screwing up a screw here and there shouldnt screw too much up. as long as theres not a fueltank behind it, wouldnt wanna screw that up,.. with a screw,.. reminds me of the time i screwed up a tank like that and fixed it by screwing in a screw.. ill stop now :) never worked on a stihl but u showed it very clearly. nice job.
@@JKSawShop ive had to fix one of these springs on a echo clutch cover once for my tophandle. not exactly the same as this but that stuff flew everywhere, definatly learned from that. open that stuff slowly and hold everything down :). looks like like u had it under control, i couldnt say u struggled one bit from your video :)
@@JKSawShop for sure, i like messing with the technical aspect but yeah im by no means a pro in this area. i do fix everything myself when something fails, even though it can be a struggle sometimes i generally get it done. bringing it to a shop is outside of my budget :). Thanks for the upload, even though i dont own a stihl, if no one uploads this kind of content i wouldnt be able to learn these kind of things.
What about the sipping that presses against the chain break lever. I usually put it on, first. I have made a tool to install the long spring. Stihl has one, but I made one from a 3/16” nut driver. The spring that contacts the lever fits in a semi- circle boss on the case. It provides tension to keep the lever in place until activated. It’s a flat spring with a loop in the end. The loop goes on the round boss built into the case. It will only fit on the case one way.
