I have an 056 mag 2.... everyone complains about ignition issues, but I haven't had one in the 40 years that I have owned it.... had a friend of my dad's back in the day borrow it... cleared over 50 trees 28" diameter plus with it and never cleaned it at all... got it back with the air filter completely full (like a molding) of saw dust.... (I never let anyone else touch this saw since and probably never will again) I cleaned it expecting the worst... it started up and ran fine... did a full clean and piston ring and cylinder check with a little smoothing... has been running like new ever since... I would advise a small exhaust port job and maybe a small intake as well and this saw can be even more of a monster. Only small drawback is that this is about the largest saw Stihl made back then without a decompression valve built in, (along with that, it has no manual/assist bar oiler, just an adjustable auto-oiler)... that being said, for its size, it's pretty easy to start. Btw... it will outrun a brand new 660 all day any day...

Nice tip about the in pulse hole. May not have noticed

Great video "Thanks"

What an awesome and beautiful saw! I am 15 and am currently in the process of getting an old 051 AV Electronic running. Mine has a 36" bar.

Where can I buy a 37mm piston ring compressor tool?

Bro

A properly sharpened/raker set chain with what seems to be a very good combo of mods/machining results in this. Fastest cutting 16” 170 I’ve seen yet, absolutely outstanding. Just looking at the firehose of chips and listening to the saw makes me believe that it is right. VERY right!

So what wrap do you have on it one for a 044 or ms440 where do you order it at ?

If they're sealant on it then somebody has been into it and apparently did not tighten it to spec so it sounds like to me it was not repaired properly.

I wish aftermarket would make a set of correct tipped adjusters with friendly screw ends- I would actually prefer the 21 spline EPA head. Once you have that tool you have a perfect no guess fit. You could be holding a running saw while riding a roller-coaster and still be able to adjust the screws with ease.

My holes aren't threaded. Nothing in the world will get this off

Those are way more fun in the snow than a chainsaw 😂

And still 2 years later no video on how to properly tune this saw after the muffler mod.

I had one of these and im thinki.g about looking for another one to build. Is that 24" a small mount husky bar, or was it adapted to fit?

great job; i have many Macs and that one too; those carbs with ho high jet seem to work pretty well; you did a great job getting her back in the wood; awesome to save a piece of history.

Where does the Impulse Line even connect to? One end feeds the engine block so where does the other end go?

Loved the 200X but they were cold starters. We also mule kicked ours to start it cold rather than kick from the seat!

how to avoid oil overflow on chain

👍 👍 👍

Great help 👍 thanks

Prybar - Is what I've been trying. Thank you for the video. I saw that damn hole and wondered what it was for. Duh!!

I made a bracket that goes around the pump...then i made a 20 lb slide hammer..it will remove any pump...it will bleed or blister...

Thanks for a great explanation of how this pump and the adjuster works. Emery cloth is quite rough so it might be worthwhile to hit it with a finer grit after the emery cloth to debut the plunger to minimize wear on the adjuster. This is a great idea to mod the pump for increased flow and to seal the rubber oil feed tube. Thanks again.

Thanks, great info!

Your Dog is identical to mine, same mannerisms too.

I've never had anything but ms200t and now the G111 clone of the ms200t for a top handle saw, so this is a very interesting difference to the metal housing of the ms200t that I'm use to. I wonder if this design of motor itself is more durable being completely incased in plastic with a smaller bottom end? It seems like it is well protected from outside damage, though I imagine the plastic portions of the saw are likely more costly to replace. Very cool video. 😎👍

What size T-handle did you use to remove the muffler screws. Need to pick one up but not sure what size screws the muffler has. Metric no doubt.

That things like a brand new toy!! If you’ve ran a saw very much you can definitely see the difference!! Definitely gonna do my 455!!

Bump!

Junk rtv it on .

Anyways, isn't a word. Anyway.

I still have one, bought new in the early nineties, used regularly. Cutters aren't hard to come by, at least in Australia. Cheap,too.

Nun are all that great

There junk

Throwing some nice chips, sharp!

Seems like a great saw and it cuts really well. I love Stihl pro saws. 😎👍

I still got my 1986 I bought in January 1987 new off showroom floor! Ride it to work almost every day!

bought my rancher in 1980

Great saw. It can be a good idea if you use standard gas for cars to remove gas if its not used within 6 month since after 6 month gas and ethanol can separate and you get all kind of problems. Thx

My friend pulls out this big freaking saw I pulled out my 192 told em this little fucker will smoke his lol I keep mine put up so no one touches it😊

Cómo la modifico mi 192

Seen alot of these that just need love and some simple fixes to revive.

Leave the trigger assembly intact the rod will pop right out as you lift the carb off

Gotta love people like you that know how to use their brain and share 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽.. I’m sure you have helped so many people thanks for this video

Can you please tell me the size of the T Handle wrench used for the screw removal on the muffler? Like the video, and understand about the rain in Washington!!

Very nice

Very good video. Thanks
