    Welcome to the Stihl Forum -- Check in Here First!

    Good morning. I am new to this forum, but not new to Stihl. I have an FS91 trimmer, FS50 trimmer, GTA26 saw with extension, MS271, and MS 250. I have had the MS250 for about 25 years and have used it to cut firewood all of that time. Their equipment is top notch. After all of that time, my...

    I replaced the cylinder head, piston, rings, and bearings on my old Stihl MS250 chainsaw...

    I replaced the cylinder head, piston, rings, and bearings on my old Stihl MS250 chainsaw. Everything seems to work fine, but when I put the side case on, bar, chain, and tighten then down, the chain is locked down. I have had this saw for 20 years and I really have liked it. Does anyone have...

    Fuel

    Absolutely! You can pay the extra dollar a gallon for several years and still be ahead of the price for a gummed up carburetor, buying stabil, transporting your mower to a shop and waiting for it to be fixed, and on and on. With non-ethanol gas, you can keep it and not have to worry about it.

    Lawnboy 10550 eats left pinion bearings

    I don't think that I have. I have replaced everything from the bushings out, a few times. Its worth a try. I love this mower. It does such a great job, but without the self propelled function, its hard to handle. Definitely not a "push" mower. Thanks.

    Lawnboy 10550 eats left pinion bearings

    I have a 10550 self propelled Lawn Boy mower purchased new. It has been a great mower, but for the past five or six years, it is eating left side pinion gears, at least one a year. I have replaced everything on the left side of the axle but it doesn't help. Over the past couple of years, it...
