INTRODUCTION
Service manuals and all technical
information bulletins describing
engineering changes are intended
exclusively for the use of STIHL
servicing dealers. They must not
be passed to third parties.
This service manual contains

detailed descriptions of all the
repair and servicing procedures
specific to this power tool series.
143RA002
There are separate handbooks

for servicing procedures for standardized parts and assemblies that
are installed in several STIHL
power tool models. Reference is
made to these handbooks in the
appropriate chapters of this
manual.
To work on the underside (e.g.

removing the oil pump), turn the
machine over and position
clamping rail on the assembly
stand so that one screw engages
the inner 10 mm hole.
Always use the latest edition of

the parts to determine the part
numbers of any replacement parts
required. Microfilmed parts list are
always more up to date than
printed lists.
ep
rin
t
You should make use of the

illustrated parts lists while carrying
out repair work. They show the
installed positions of the individual
components and assemblies.
Note: Pull the hand guard against

the front handle before clamping
the machine in this position.
fo
-n
Always use original STIHL

replacement parts.
They can be identified by the
STIHL part number,
the
logo
and the STIHL parts symbol
The symbol may appear alone on
small parts.
er
sio
Servicing and repairs are made

considerably easier if the powerhead is mounted on the assembly
stand (2) with the clamping rail (1).
The machine is secured to the
stand by means of the bar
mounting nuts (after removing the
sprocket cover).
This enables the powerhead to be
swivelled to the best position for
the ongoing repair and leaves both
hands free.
ev
Refer to the Technical Information bulletins for engineering

changes which have been introduced since publication of this
service manual. Technical information bulletins also supplement the
parts list until a revised edition is
issued.
143RA001
ot
A fault on the machine may have

several causes. Consult the
troubleshooting charts for all
assemblies in the General
Servicing, Troubleshooting
handbook.

The special servicing tools mentioned in the descriptions are listed

in the last chapter of this manual.

Tightening Torques
Plastoform screws are used for polymer components and "DG" screws for lightmetal components.
These screws form a permanent thread when they are installed for the first time. They can be removed and
installed as often as necessary without detrimentally affecting the strength of the screwed assembly, providing
the specified tightening torque is observed.
For this reason it is essential to use a torque wrench.

er
sio
Place the screw in the hole and rotate it counterclockwise until it drops down slightly.
Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque.
This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread.

Remarks
1) Screw must be secured with adhesive 0786 111 1101 (Loctite 243).
2) Torque may be reduced by approx. 1 Nm (0.7 lbf.ft) when refitting a screw in an existing thread

Note: Screws secured with adhesive are easier to release if the adhesive is heated first with a hot air blower
(hair dryer). Take care on polymer components.

This machine does not have a

conventional crankcase.
The engine consists of the
cylinder, piston, crankshaft and

Leakage Test
Defective oil seals and gaskets or

cracks in castings are the usual
causes of leaks. Such faults allow
supplementary air to enter the
engine and thus upset the fuel-air
mixture.
This makes adjustment of the
prescribed idle speed difficult, if
not impossible.

speed to part or full throttle is not

4.2.3
Vacuum Test
Oil seals tend to fail when subjected to a vacuum, i.e. the sealing
lip lifts away from the crankshaft
during the pistons induction stroke
because there is no internal
counterpressure.
Note: If the vacuum reading

remains constant, or rises to no
more than 0.3 bar (4.25 psi) within
20 seconds, it can be assumed
that the oil seals are in good
condition.
However, if the pressure continues
to rise (reduced vacuum in the
engine housing), the oil seals must
be replaced, even if no leaks were
detected in the pressure test.
143RA047
An additional test can be carried

out with the vacuum pump to
detect this kind of fault.
The preparations for this test are
the same as for the pressure test see 4.2.1.

The ignition module accommodates all the components required

to control ignition timing. There are

the coil body:
Since there is no mechanical wear

in these systems, ignition timing
cannot get out of adjustment. However, an internal fault in the circuit
can alter the switching point in
such a way that a spark test will
still show the system to be in order
although timing is outside the
permissible tolerance. This will
impair engine starting and running

Dirty and clogged air filters reduce

engine power, increase fuel
consumption and make starting
more difficult.
The carburetor can be tested for

leaks with the carburetor and
crankcase tester.

The air filter should always be

cleaned when engine power
begins to drop off.
- Clean away any loose dirt from
around the filter.
Pull away the filter housing.
- Wash the filter element in a

fresh, non-flammable cleaning
solution (e.g. warm soapy water)
and, if possible, blow out with
compressed air. Soften encrusted dirt by soaking the
parts in cleaning solution.

Carburetor Adjustment
10.5
Maximum engine speed is permanently set and cannot be adjusted.

Only the engine idle speed can be
adjusted within fine limits.
The carburetor guarantees an
optimum fuel-air mixture in all
operating conditions.
Adjusting idle speed

It is usually necessary to change
the setting of the idle speed screw
(LA) after every correction to the
low speed adjusting screw (L).
Note: Turn screws very slowly and
carefully - even slight adjustments
produce a noticeable change in
engine running behavior.
Important: In the event of trouble

with the fuel supply system,
always check the fuel tank and
the pickup body first. Clean the
fuel tank if necessary.
Engine stops while idling

Check standard setting.
Chain runs while engine is

idling Check standard setting.

Cleaning the fuel tank
Unscrew the filler cap and drain

the tank.
- Pour a small amount of clean
gasoline into the tank.
- Close the tank and shake the
saw vigorously.
- Open the tank again and drain it.
Note: Dispose of old fuel at
approved disposal site.
On
- Start the saw warm up the engine.
sio
ev
Carefully screw down the low

speed adjusting screw (L) until it is
hard against its seat. Then open it
one full turn counterclockwise.
er
If the carburetor has to be

adjusted from scratch, first carry
out the standard setting.
- Check air filter and clean

if necessary.
Erratic idling behavior, poor

acceleration even though low speed adjusting screw is one turn open
Idle setting too lean.
Turn the low speed adjusting
screw (L) counterclockwise until
the engine runs and accelerates
smoothly.
Standard setting
Turn the idle speed stop screw

(LA) counterclockwise until the
chain stops running - and then
turn it about another half turn in
the same direction.
-n
143RA177
- Check chain tension.
rr
Turn idle speed stop screw (LA)

clockwise until the chain begins to
run - then turn it back one quarter
turn.
The diaphragm pump draws fuel

out of the tank and into the carburetor via the fuel hose. Any
impurities mixed with the fuel are
retained by the pickup body (filter).
The fine pores of the filter eventually become clogged with minute
particles of dirt. This restricts the
passage of fuel and results in fuel
starvation.
