Stihl 025 250

I bought this non running 025 today. Its got good compression at
150 PSI. Its in excellent shape. The fuel line is rotted out and
i have a new one on the way. Has anybody ran one of these saws?
I was just wondering if they are good little saws or are they
junk? I already see i dont like the carb, for it has a non
adjustable H setting. >:(

My brother bought one new (before I got into saws and could have
hooked him up) in either MS250 or 025 not sure and loves it for
his homeowner trimming duties. I think they are 45cc, clamshell
design.

I have no personal experiance with them . A lot of people rave
about them though .
On that though I seldom work on any Stihl consumer saws .They
will not hold up to tree service work because I have a box full
of clam shell parts from 029 and 039's that just couldn't cut
the mustard .Trimmers are rough on saws . On the other hand they
weren't designed for that kind of service .

An adjustable Walbro WT215 for this saw is about 30$
They are good for what they are, and if you do a muffler mod
it's a nice little saw.

Thanks for the adjustable carb info. I will definitely buy one
of those.

I got the fuel line installed in my 025 yesterday. I think it
runs pretty good for only 45cc. I cant embed youtube anymore for
some reason. >:(

Had a stihl 025 dropped off. Guy said no hurry he just got a
new stihl 261 over winter, Christmas present from son I think he
said.
Complaints were, black oily residue getting all over crankcase
front and under muffler area. Black oily residue on the outside
clutch cover area.
He couldnt tell me if it was burned mix or bar oil.
Saw is clean as a pin now so I need to test and see whats going
on.

I have a 025 and a MS250 I use for limbing situations.
I tend to like the 025 a little better.
They are .325 X .063.
The 025 has RS chain and the MS 250 has RM chain.
They both have twin needle carbs and muffler mods.

Never seen this before. Almost like the plastic crankcase is
worn out. First I noticed the drum had alot of movement. That
would move the whole motor, not like a worn drum or clutch
bearing.
So I checked the 4 crankcase clamshell bolts and made sure they
were tight. Then check AV's and made sure they were good. Then
went under recoil and noticed the flywheel did same thing and
was making contact with coil at times.
I was thinking crank bearings till I paid close attention. The
whole motor is moving up and down not the crankshaft
crankbearings. I could watch the tight clam shell bolts moving
up down alot with the whole motor in the plastic crankcase.
To me it looks like it needs another crankcase to fix this?
