StarTech,could the piston have scoring on it? Just wondering?

Just wanted to know if anyone could tell me correct RPM's for a HU 700F (FWD) mower should be? Mines is teetering around the 3100-3120 area.I believe most push mowers should be btwn 3000-3100 rpm's,thanks.

No worries.I also have 56 ala fs.You can remove the head,and with a grease gun or syringe,squeeze your goo on and put back together.Not too hard.

My Ace hardware now sells and services Toro.As well as a Stihl authorized dealer.I have both as well,but to know where I can get them serviced if need be.Hope you got some good info.I did.

Hello all.As I was looking at Stihl equiptment lately,i noticed the MS 170/180 series has come to an end.I see these newer models are all coming with the new oil and gas caps.I've been under the impression that these things leaked a lot on earlier units.Are they better now?

Thanks friends for the tips.All is well again.Happy sawing.

Or was I missing something?

I actually bought that set up 1st, by mistake.It's for the 180 and others.But for the 170,it didn't have the tensioning screw.

Thanks,didn't know.

I have always thought about the tensioner on my chainsaw,and what a silly place for Stihl to put that screw.Hence I didn't use it too much because of the placement.Well I recently bought a set of dawgs and a side tension upgrade.Whar a difference!!!

WoW!!!

Awesome info.

wow!!! Something new?

thank you

Morning all.I have the HU700F series w/GCV160 engine.l'd like to know if anyone has bought a belt for theirs,and where'd you get yours? Thanks in advance.
