My 026 was doing exactly the same thing due to the spring having lost the proper shape. The air filter cover is difficult to put on and I probably bent it when I put the cover on with the lever in the wrong position. Like many I find the 026 tough to work on. Once I figured out that the underside of the spring needed to make contact with the ground wire I was able to adjust the spring so the hook on the end of the spring (with pliers) to hit all of the proper places on the plastic lever for choke, run, and kill. Lots of trial and error, but I prevailed. Thanks you for helping me isolate the problem and fix it.
Glad you were able to get it dialed in. They can be a pain. The fuel line is another thing ya have to be aware of when putting the filter on. It can loop up and get pinched. Theyre good saws when theyre dialed in though.
Howdy Brother Travis- nice fix on the switch. One of my saws doesn’t want to shut off , don’t remember which one. I’ll have a look and just maybe it’s one of the Stihls. Thanks for showing this. God bless y’all
Nice work you really are the JOAT. I gotta find some time to start playing with saws again. I have two builds I want to do, and also two pioneers I want to make at least one out of or maybe two. It's good fun.
Yea im not real impressed with sthils switch system. The 500i is cool but i dont like that style on thos saw. Thanl you for commenting amd supporting the channel!! STAY SAFE!
