STIHL MS171 - MS181 Not Oiling?

The usual and most common cause of this issue on these models is the oil hose.  It might look ok even when you remove it from the saw, but I can almost guarantee replacing the hose will cure the non oiling issue. Seen people change oil pumps and worm drives and to be honest it's rarely necessary. 

Symptoms: with the bar and chain removed and running the saw at reasonably high revs, you'll see it spitting and blowing the occasional bubble out of the oil channel.

This applies to all your petrol (Gas) powered machinery.  Always use fresh fuel and try and avoid fuel left over from last year.  It will save you a lot of running issues and better starting.

Two stroke fuel, always give it a shake before use to keep the oil mixed evenly in the can.

If concerned that your STIHL sealed for life gear head on your strimmer / brushcutter running low on grease, you'll noticed these units being "sealed for life" no longer have a grease bung. So how do you get grease into them.

Well there is a way to do this.  You need to remove the gear head from the main tube, then with a needle grease gun or syringe you can inject grease through the input gear where the drive shaft would normally locate. It's a bit of faffing around but might just save your gear head. 

Cutting season is looming up on us, I know some cut grass all year round,

But before you go pulling on that start cord, or turn the key for the first time, please just give your mower a fighting chance.  Check the oil level..  You could even go one step further and give it an oil change.  Your mower will thank you for it. 

I know some people by Nylon line for their Strimmer's in bulk, or use old stuff left over from a year or two back only to find it goes brittle and keeps snapping off in use.

A little trick which has been around for as long as I can remember. Soak your line in a bucket of water for a few hours before using it. That should help to stop it breaking off in use. 

Some people boil their strimmer line in a saucepan for a few minutes to speed up and achieve the same effect, but a few hours soaked at room temp should be good enough.

Not sure if I already posted this one from a couple of months ago.

Customer said his clutch was slipping on his STIHL 021 Chainsaw. Usual questions asked at the counter, is it running ok, are you giving it enough revs etc. and it was booked in for a diagnosis.

In the workshop: Engine was up to speed and sounded good, actually smoother and quieter than most, and it looked in good condition. So we had to dig deeper.

It wasn't until we tried to remove the clutch that we discovered the reason. A broken crankshaft.

For the last few weeks I've noticed a sudden decline in repair work, this is the first time in over twenty six years I've seen it so quiet. even the phones are not ringing like they usually do. 

Maybe it's just the ESSEX area affected, but it's a very strange feeling.  Usually it goes dead at the beginning of the summer holidays and then starts to pick up towards the end, and then winter servicing starts, this year it's just stopped like someone flicked a switch. It's quite worrying to be honest.

How's everyone else doing?
