My Stihl 009 has been hard to start, so I took it to a Stihl dealer who has told me it has no spark ( but I was able to get it to fire with "aero start", just not keep going) and needs a new ignition thingo that will cost me about $250-00 ??? ??? ??? ??? so I said forget it I'll just pick up the saw.
Now I'm hopefully going away Sunday week and I need a new temporary chainsaw to tide me over untill I can fix the Stihl :-[ when I get back.
So what to buy, a Bunnings, Masters or Ebay special. Personal experiences please, not rumour, here say etc
:cheers: :cheers:

Don't do it............
Just go buy a decent one from somewhere reputable.
I have a preference for huski, but only because the small ones are very light.
Stihls are awesome. Probably best to stick with them.
Just my 2c.
You get what you pay for.
-
you wanna borrow my chainy?
-
Why spend $200 on a crap saw when you can fix your Stihl for a similar price? Even if you spend $100 where is the economy in that? Madness I tell you! :D
If you are worried you were getting crap advice go to another repairer.

I've got a spare Stihl 023 (?) about 15yo that just got re-built - you can borrow it for your trip if coming past this way.

x2. Not a good time of the year to be asking a chainsaw place to repair a broken chainsaw. Maybe seek a second opinion.
-
I'll give ya a 6 pack for ya 009 :)
-
Lost, is on the money there, there are heaps of aftermarket parts available for stihl saws.
I just got an after market coil for my ms261 for $21 just to throw in the gear bag, OEM is $50 Via the US and a whopping $145AUD locally!!!
with the older ones that have a separate coil/CDI unit you can even get replacemnts that are integrated,
and when you replace it just place a Playing card / business card between the flywheel and the ignition , nip up the screws and remove the card.
-
A short term healthy replacement!
-
given some ebay adds state the same coils will fit/work on the 009 as the ms 250 this one would prolly even do the job.

iam prepared to give you a dozen, could use a nice little top mount.
-
Any advance on a dozen!!!
C'mon, a dozen's not that many.
C'mon who'll go a slab?
-
Geeze, I thought I was among friends here, but bend over to tie up your shoe laces and your getting reamed, c'mon fellas, at least use a bit of ky :o :o :o
and thanks to those KIND folk :-* :-* that offered a loan of their saws but I don't feel comfortable using other peoples equipment :angel:
-
At least I was trying to get ya value for money.
-

bakers dozen... :D
-
A new stihl 231 cost me $650. Trying it out at Scarpsy Sunday ;D
-
Aww FUJI, your just rubbing it in now.
-
Ditch the stihl they are garbage. Get yourself a husky. That is all. :cheers:
-
If it starts on Aerostart there must be spark. I have a very old Stihl AV10 & when it gets hard to start or not run smoothly. I just fit a carby kit which are around $15-$20 & its all good again for several years.
-
bakers dozen... :D
C'mon Lost, that's just insulting.
It's a Stihl, just because it doesn't go.
I mean, well, ah, umm, yeah right.
It's a Stihl that's the important thing.
-
Its still cheaper to buy them new from the US!

Just because it doesn't run, doesn't mean it won't work, just needs a bit more effort on your part, ya Nancy boy.

I need advice from an expert, so just how hard should I pull, and for how long :angel:
-
No need to pull it, just slide it back and forth, back and forth until you get the desired result.... whatever that me be.
Umm, now getting serious for a moment, the chainsaw does have fuel in it, does it.

I have it secured under chain, lock and key, but if a paddy wagon turns up with a warrant to remove it as evidence (of some sort), not so sure.
You have to remember I am 'known to police' :-)
-
I'd be making 100% sure it's not the slide switch playing up before replacing the coil, I know of several that played up.

In that case, said paddy wagon driver better bring a brand new Sthil to Knockwood so we can get more, BTW bloody fast paddy wagon he drives

All I can say is I hope scarps's chainsaw is full of fuel and sharp. I know fuji and know he hates to get anything he owns dirty so I reckon scarps will be doing all the cutting!
Back to OP - mate if you can borrow a saw the money you can save on purchasing a temp job you can spend on your saw and the money left over can be used to compensate the person you borrowed the saw off. I hear Lost likes a goo tear arse!

I like running in new chainsaws:-)
We might be ok, I do brush and wipe mine down each time before I pack it away, but it definitely has a used look about it. Love my wood fire and as you know was planning the recce for this weekend, so with the weather working against us, don't mind taking fuji up to show him the wood collection area.

Bring it with you tomorrow and l will check it out

So if it has no spark, what is igniting the Aerostart?? Maybe the dealer needs to make retail target I think.
