STIHL 034/036 KICKS like a Mule
By: johndrew98 Date: November 17, 2019, 6:06 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I have a Stihl 034 or 036 . The S/N is 114994544 but no one can
tell me what it is. It has 036 on the starting rope mechanism
and 034 AV on the top cover. I looked up the part number on the
brake and it shows 034 or 036. It ran good yesterday but had a
problem getting it started. The compression was like a mule
kick. I took out the sparkplug and put Seafoam in the sparkplug
hole and pull a few times and tried again and started and cut up
a tree. Today it's the mule kick again Only turns about one
stroke of the piston (6 inches on rope) When I pulled the
sparkplug it pulls easy. I took off the muffler and the piston
sides looks very smooth...except there is a film on top of the
cylinder about the thicknss of a piece of paper. I can lift it
with a pencil about 1/8 high as far as I tried. The top of
Piston from the carburetor side shows some carbon build up. (
not shinny but even probably the same as was indicated from the
muffler view.) Question first does anyone know which saw it is
from the S/N?. 2. How do I get it to pull without the mule kick?
I don't see any decompression valve.How is the best way to
remove the carbon without taking apart?

Stihl dealer can run the serial number. If it was registered in
system when sold.
Can tell what model it is and what year.
A few stihl dealers here but most of the online stihl dealers
that run them are on my chainsaw repair group FB. I had a 066
660 parts saw ran to find out what I took on trade, being it was
missing covers.

I would guess timing or the carbon just making the psi to much
for ya. The ole 3300 54cc my dad ran for 25+ years was that way
for him. I put a stihl 460 rescue handle on it to buy him some
more time. Like 5-6 at stihl.

How about measuring the bore on your saw. 034 is 46 mm. the
036 is 48mm.

Kicking back and pulling hard are not the same thing .As an
example on a 2100 CD Husqvarna which 99 cc ,when I got it was
all I could do to pull it over .
Come the find out the bushing in the starter drum was worn out
causing it to engage eccentric .It was a nylon bushing which I
made a brass replacement which tamed it down .Due to the fact
the machine by nature is high compression I also used a Stihl
460 rescue saw D-handle . I had a couple of others over the
years but right now I can't remember which ones .
