I Restored a Scrapped Stihl Chainsaw. You Won’t Believe what.....

Hi. Try the following recipe. I use it to clean plastic and cylinders. Take a dishwasher capsule or two (depending on the volume of your container). Dissolve in a small amount of warm water, add 10 drops of dioxidine (per capsule) and then pour it into the container with the parts. Pour boiling water until completely immersed. Let it cool and wash as you do with a paintbrush. Be sure to wear gloves, since dioxidine is a transporter for delivering substances under the skin. It is used in creams for joint pain and many other places. To clean mufflers, I use a product for cleaning sewer pipes (caustic 60 g). Dilute with warm water, stir, immerse the muffler for a day. Some of the carbon will dissolve, some can be shaken out after drying. Work with gloves. Good luck

I've been looking for one of these chainsaws for awhile now. And whenever I find one, I'm going to use this video as a reference.

[@chainsawace1777]

Awesome. Keep in mind that the 025 and the MS250 are almost the same chainsaw. If you find one of those it's basically the newer version of the 025. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@ossieljuarez1936]

@chainsawace1777 I have a 251 already, but I would like a older model chainsaw to add to my small collection.

[@chainsawace1777]

I see. An 025 or the MS250 would both fit that bill for sure.

Once again, another fantastic restoration of something I didn’t think could be brought back to life, lol. I honestly didn’t think it would go again! Great job my friend.

[@chainsawace1777]

Thanks Wayne! Comments like your’s make this so worth it. I really appreciate it my friend. Have a wonderful day.

Yah I have been waiting on these videos for so long the ones that you dug out that old building. Thanks so much for the post love the channel

[@chainsawace1777]

Thanks so much for watching. There is much more to come! Sorry for the delay. I am running way behind schedule due to a close family member's health issues. I am getting back on track now, though.

[@jimfrey881]

Great video and great refurb! Got to love a Stihl.

[@chainsawace1777]

Thanks so much. Have a great day Jim!

[@brockraybon]

Awesome! Thanks for another great video.

I've got a 14 year old MS 441 that is starting to have problems. It doesn't have a ton of hours on it, but will stall out when idling, which gets worse as it gets hotter (I'm in Texas). Would it be cheaper just to get a new saw or have someone take the thing apart and figure out what's wrong with it?

[@chainsawace1777]

Hey, thanks for watching and the question. The equivalent of the MS441 is probably close to $1500 now days, so this chainsaw is definitely worth repairing. Also, the problem you're describing sounds like a minor carburetor issue that can probably be remedied by cleaning the carburetor and installing a new diaphragm kit. Heck it might not even need that. It may just need a light adjustment of the carburetor. The MS441 is an absolute unit of chainsaw and it's very much worth your time and money.

[@st7650]

I’m just wondering can you not get these parts from the Stihl dealer? Or is it about cost

[@chainsawace1777]

You could, but you would spend a lot, lot more. And for an old project like this, low cost is a priority in my opinion.

I saw one guy use hydrogren peroxide and soak the "white" plastics to make them more white.

[@chainsawace1777]

I tried this and it didn't work for me. Although, maybe I didn't have the proper dose. I need to look into this again. Thanks for the suggestion and the view.

[@malindajones3829]

Hey

[@chainsawace1777]

Hey!

[@alexparty2002]

Try hydrogen peroxide method for plastic whitening. It's very effective.
