Is This Old Stihl MS170 Chainsaw Worth Fixing?
This old Stihl MS170 chainsaw has many problems but the main complaint is it bogs under load. It's never seen any service, and this video shows several tests and procedures to get it back up and running again. The same principles apply to most any two-stroke lawn and garden gear made by the likes of Husqvarna, Echo, Red Max, Shindaiwa, Craftsman, Ryobi, Poulan, and many others.

    Thanks that was very interesting to me because I have a 6.75 Quantum on a Snapper purchased in 2004 that was fitted with a different version of this carb that doesn't have the choke, but has some sort of a purge bulb primer system. Has a history of being difficult to start and restart since it was new and I used to think about trying to revert to the choke carb but wouldn't know if it was feasible but it was nice to see what it looks like. I guess they made this change for emissions reasons....who knows.

    • @TheLawnmowerLady

They say it is non adjustable for low emissions. I guess when they stop working and can't be fixed they put out lower emissions in the landfill too lol. As an aside, when I brought this mower home from the store, it wouldn't start worth a damn and I eventually took off the flywheel and found the armature gap was super open on one end so it was not installed/adjusted properly at the factory.

      Yikes! Yes put it back the way you found it. Generally speaking that governor arm linkage will not fit in the smaller hole. Clearly this one did. The only real issue is added spring tension where it comes in contact with that linkage arm. I suspect the RPM changes might be delayed maybe a second or two slower with that added friction.

    I tried this fix on our neighbors Toro 22" Recycler, but it didn't work. It still starts then dies. Not sure what else to try; it runs fine if I spray carb cleaner into the carburetor so it seems like it must be a fuel delivery problem. Plenty of gas is getting through the fuel line to the carb. There was some debris in the gas when I drained the tank. Using fresh ethanol free gas did not help. It does have spark. Any other ideas about what to check? Should I try a fuel filter in the fuel line (a filter made for gravity feed engines), and re-clean the carb?

    • @TheLawnmowerLady
      @TheLawnmowerLady 4 дня назад

      If there was debris in your fuel tank, probably carburetor clean best. I'd avoid carb spray, it's very harsh on plastic and rubber bits. Brake cleaner is much more forgiving. Did you completely disassemble the plastic fuel stack? Double check your carb bowl went back on the in the correct orientation.

      That is a welch plug. Commonly used to block or restrict an internal passage. I've not looked under this plug in these particular carbs. Pretty sure you can purchase the part separately. Installs with a metal punch that slightly deforms the curve to seal up the passage. Lots of videos out there. If it runs poorly without the plug, you should replace it. I don't have a lot of luck reusing old plugs that have fallen out.

    These mowers must have the valves adjusted as part of their tune up. Without that, the mower will either stop, or not start. It's .006" on the intake, and .008" on the exhaust. The tune up is not complete without doing a valve adjustment. Everything else was spot on, except for the valve train tune up procedure, which is essential.

      Air leak! I'm assuming you put on an aftermarket carb? They are hit and miss (as you might have discovered) I'd be cleaning and re-building the original carb.

    Hello, Love your video's. They are very informative. I have a Honda mower HRR2169VYA which has an automatic choke. It starts and runs fine, but when it warms up and the choke is off it dies when you engage the blades. While the choke is still on the blades engage fine and the engine runs fine. But when the choke comes off the engine stalls when the blades are engaged. I have cleaned the carb, changed the plug, replaced the fuel, checked the gas cap, but I cant figure out why it stalls when its warm. HELP !

      I had a similar issue with my HR215 after about 8-10 years. I adjusted the cables to basically make the engagement earlier. Increasing the RPM didn't hurt either. Over time springs and cables stretch. Follow the governor arm return spring to it's termination point. Bend the bracket just a bit to put more pressure on the spring. Hope this helps.

    If you have time, you can get a new carb delivered for about twelve bucks on E Bay.
