Help with wayward Stihl 070
I've been trawling the internet & the forum looking for any leads on a manual for my ancient Stihl 070. Several members have the 076, & from a few pics it looks similar overall, but different in the flywheel compartment, so perhaps noone will get my description.
Anyway, this is my problem: Last week the old girl died in mid cut, and my quick diagnosis was the electrical system. This turned out to be correct - the lead for the primary winding on the coil had snapped off, just inside the bakelite surround. All attempts to reconnect were futile, so gritted my teeth & ordered a new one ($190 ). While I had it pulled to bits, I stripped & cleaned the carby. Put it back together & it started first pull. HOWEVER, I cannot get it to run properly. I fiddled with the Hi/Lo jets as per usual, but it just won't reach full power. The trouble is the governor/throttle; it doesn't seem to be opening properly as the saw speeds up. I can move it manually, & all is well - revs up & develops full power, but that isn't a very practical solution!
It seems to me I have either inadvertently bent the thin fin in the flywheel housing that actuates the connecting rod, or reconnected it skewiff when replacing the carburetor (though I can't see how, as it is a very simple thing & looks like it can only be connected one way.
So I was looking for a manual to get an idea of where things ought to be but no luck - looks like she is just too old to be of interest to anyone else! Can any of you CS gurus understand what I am blabbing about & offer some sage advice????
Cheers,IW

They want money for it, but it looks like what you're after:

If Bob's lead doesn't work out.

Thanks Juffy - I found that one too, but it's a 'parts manual', whatever that means. Had it been free, it would have been worth a look, as it may illustrate the areas I'm in trouble with & give me a clue as to what's wrong, but being stingy, I'm loathe to spend money on the off-chance it will help.
I'm hoping Bob's lead will get me what I'm after.......
Cheers,IW

If anyone needs a specific CS manual then "http://www.arboristsite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9" is another forum where you can "beg for a manual". The way that it works is, this is a thread where regular posters in that forum request a manual and if other members think the postee has begged enough will PM them and either tell them where to get it or send it to them by email. I have obtained manuals for my 076, 066 and 010 via this thread.
Since you would have to register to use that forum and being a newby it might take you some time to get a manual - it also depends on who has what. An alternative is you could always ask me or others on who post on that forum like Burnsy, Dai Sensei to get it for you. Don't rush me now!Last edited by BobL; 20th January 2009 at 09:21 PM.
