$20 Stihl 011AV Will it run?

[@Super-Dave-Outdoors]

The briggs motor in that tractor is a flathead, so valve adjustment is a pain because you have to grind the end of the valve stem to adjust your lash. They still make carb kits and the carb is easy enough to rebuild. Cool little motors.
Glad to see you using that ECHO shirt I sent you! -Dave

The Stihl is always Stihl!

[@AndyH-13]

I have a 010AV and was also surprised to find out they had metal reed valves. Check out the magnesium cases and alloy muffler. That’s a cool little 40 year old saw.

Nice score with the 011👍🆙BigGuy

Can't wait to see the new character lawncare larry wearing a shirt that says John Queer "because nothing runs like a queer"

[@MrJeepfreak1972]

I have one of those 011 saws. Minty low hour unit. It's also a finicky tuner. Just how it is. It prefers to be a tad rich on the high side. Other brand reed saws I've owned acted similar.

Couple sweet finds! I was into the mud mowers and racing mowers in my late teens and early 20's, so much fun! Still have one of my old mudders, haven't had it out in a few years. Also own one of those GT2's, looks just like yours but with the opposed twin kohler flathead. Been a solid garden tractor👍🏻

[@crusiethmaximuss]

That's SICC😎Gonna be a sweet mini mudder!!!

[@shawnglacken3055]

Great finds!

[@IowaPerformanceSaws]

I used to have a bunch of that series. They had a cult following. Sold them all because they have a oil pump flaw that is obsolete and I wanted my money back before they became boat anchors!! 😂 they were decent little saws tho for your atv or whatever.

[@stevemcdowell2019]

Filters were known to plug up. Sponge around the filter would eventually fall apart. Clean/replace the filter and blow out/replace pump tubing. Good to go!

[@chainsawcanuck]

When you were revving that saw while tuning it reminded me of a yappy purse dog.. Lol. Good score

[@mrtreejunkie]

Those bearing sounds are the chain too tight. Definitely great little saws tho

[@Macgyver-ranch]

Hope you checked for mud dabbers in the muffler too.

[@fearghalmorrissey2601]

Would be a nice saw ported up

[@darrenwilson7688]

Sounds like a bearing going out on that saw man.

[@0808dsmith]

Nice finds! Saw sounds a little funny. Like a bearing is squealing or something! That tractor is choice though!

[@mattfleming86]

Got an 009 i'm working on. Neat little saws.

[@shawncaudill424]

Can't wait to see the mud machine

[@kingsaws]

I'm not a big stihl fan but those are pretty sweet saws

[@troy3052]

Nice score

[@darrelljohnson4658]

Funtime sawrus good 👍 👌 👏 😋

[@brianlurten3028]

011, that's what I learned how to run a chainsaw with. It was a good saw, not the 32 that went to next, but good

[@robert4027]

Cooool

[@Danzilly]

Enjoy when he finds the cheap saws!

[@thomaslindroos1667]

I have a 020 avp and that little thing is a formula 1 car its the loudest freaking stock saw but everytime I leave it for a couple of months the spark goes missing

[@thomaslindroos1667]

Not to mention you have to split the saw to do anything at all on it.
Are husqys easier to work on than stihls in you guys opinion, that has been my experience at least

[@modarkthemauler]

@@thomaslindroos1667 Huskys are definitely easier to work on overall.

[@alexstromberg7696]

@@thomaslindroos1667 Husqvarnas by a mile, stihls are aids to work on

You bought a John Deere That’s your Problem!😂

[@Veau88]

Horizontal surfaces just collect junk in Our garages and shops! You know this! Shop looks alot better, but screw the small stihls, get some small echos already and show us all what they can do! 3510, 361p, 2511p, and hell why not a 7310p too for good measure… be the first to really do a nice 3510 broo

[@bryantitus6634]

He's done several on the 7310. Both stock and modded.

[@robert4027]

Chain to tight

Can't beat that for 20 bucks. Seals are cheap.
