Today the manufacturer Stihl is a leader among other companies that produce the production of equipment intended for agricultural and construction work. The products of this manufacturer are famous not only for their high-quality level, but also for the optimal price policy and the power of its models.
Probably, it is rather difficult to meet a person who would not have chainsaws of this brand. This is one of the most famous world companies. But the fact that out of ten possible in six people exactly they are. And this is not surprising since the Stihl chainsaws represent power on a par with the grace of the design. But unfortunately, such technology giants sometimes fail and require a certain kind of repair. Today we will pay attention to one of the models of this manufacturer, namely the Stihl ms 180. So let’s get started.
Briefly about the main thing.
This model is the pride of the German manufacturer and is a direct tool designed for a low level of work. It can be used no more than twenty hours a month. This wonderful device will easily help you cope with the care of your garden, prepare firewood for the winter period , make cleared platforms, and will also be an indispensable assistant in other areas, let’s say, simple manipulations.
It can be said that this is a mini-model chainsaw, since it has a negligible weight, which is 3.9 kg, it does not have a large tank mass, both oil and fuel. The manufacturer has equipped this device with a two-stroke engine with ample power for light work.
over, it is quite quiet since during operation, the noise level does not exceed 98 dB. So that you understand the degree of loudness better, compare its noise with a colloquial speech, which is 76 dB.
The power of this model is equal to 2.6 W. It is worth noting that this is a fairly significant level of power, given that it is not a professional chainsaw. The oil tank has a volume of only 0.145 litres, and the fuel tank has a volume of 0.25 litres. The tire has a size of 350 mm and a pitch is 0.325 inches.
A Winding device.
The basis of the plant of this kind of model, as well and all the other chainsaws, is a carburetor. But since we are talking today about the chainsaw Shtil 180, it will not deviate from the topic. The carburetor in this model has a single tuning screw., that is, it is a kind of screw for setting the idle stroke while the jet of the fully loaded load is stationary.
In simple words, one can say that it cannot be adjusted (see here), while the full load setting cannot be changed. It is also important that the carburetor itself at the factory was set up in such a way that, regardless of the actual conditions under which the chainsaw is operated directly, the air-fuel mixture is fed to the engine itself.
Saw does not start: causes and how to solve them.
First of all, it is worth noting the fact that the chainsaw 180 of this manufacturer is one of the best of his “creations”, but it also has its drawbacks. Actually, which we now talk.
- Quite a frequent problem is that the chainsaw “Shtil 180” does not start and floods the candle. The reason for this is that the oil that is poured to lubricate the chain begins to leak. Since time is mercilessly and simply a leakage is made exactly in the place where the hose from the oil pump and the oil tank is connected. It is natural to solve this problem, but considering the design of this chainsaw, it will not be so easy to do this, as you have to disassemble the device to, as they say, get to the right place.
- Many people are worried about this question: why does the Chainsaw Calm 180 not start? If you believe the experts, in this situation, you need to first open and then close the lid, which is located on the gas tank. Or get and make a candle. Or try to ventilate the combustion chamber. In most cases, this kind of manipulation is enough for the device to work. But there are cases when the Chainsaw Stiel does not start, but there is a spark
- In the above case, you need to make a direct petrol check, air filter and the direct performance of candles. Since the basis of this kind of damage is the breather, namely its pollution. Because when it is completely clogged, a kind of vacuum arises in the gas tank itself, which interferes with the fuel supply process. Solving this question is not difficult since all you need to do is clean it by using a needle.
The main reasons for this kind of malfunction are the carburetor and the filter, which simply could clog.
In order to exclude the saloon from the objects damaged, it is necessary first of all to disconnect the fuel hose from the carburetor itself and check whether there is any fuel flowing out of it.
- You have to remember that in the process of correct operation of the chainsaw gasoline must flow dense and stable stream. It is also not uncommon when the Chainsaw Calm 180 does not start up hot and actually stalls after switching on or keeps power for a short time. In this case, the problem of breakage lies in the silencer, which can be simply clogged by any deposits that arise through the operation of the device and that settle in the exhaust process.
- Also quite frequent cause of instrument malfunction is insufficient lubrication of the device chain itself. The reason for this may be the channels that are simply clogged, or the reason in the oil pipeline that flows.
- The connecting tubes or the connections themselves in the area of the oil pump nozzles can also flow.
- It happens that a chainsaw starts to wind up badly. Calm 180 because cylinder that can be broken. But to determine its condition is sufficient visual inspection. But if there you find the formation of irregularities and chips, then you can be confident that you have found the cause of the breakdown.
- If through verification you find out that the fault is in the candle, then you need to unscrew it, and then make a direct drying. But it is worth noting that in no case can it be pierced since you spoil the part and it will be unsuitable for use. You also need to drain excess fuel from it through a special hole.
Also, you should remember that direct drying should be done for at least thirty minutes, and only after this kind of manipulation can you set it back and try to start the tool directly.
over, it may be that simply the shelf life of your candle has passed, in which case it is necessary to replace it. Therefore, it is excellent advice that you should always have a new candle in the store or a set is best. Then you can replace it at any time and understand whether it was the immediate cause of a device failure. over, the cause of breakage may be a weak contact which connects the high-voltage wire and the end of the plug. Also, the cause may be a breakdown of the ignition unit. It is worth noting the fact that to eliminate this kind of problem, it is necessary to replace the unit itself since it cannot be repaired.
- The excitement of the owners of this model is also important. systematic idle after the actual petrol first tanks are devastated. But if you believe the experts in this field, they argue that this kind of situation does not constitute any problem. But still, if this kind of process is repeated often enough, then you need to use the carburetor screw to reduce the engine speed.
- Besides, you can personally produce cleaning the muffler itself, since the cause of the malfunction may be in it. This manipulation is not complicated. A rather frequent occurrence of poor-quality tool operation is the carburetor.
But It is worth to notice that it would be best if the specialists do the repairs because if you have the necessary knowledge and skills, you can break it and have to buy a new one.
It is also important that if you even discovered the very cause of a malfunction of the tool, this does not mean at all that you can fix it yourself. Since there is such kind of breakdown that can only be fixed by a specialist. If you carried out a direct manipulation regarding checking and changing the quality of the oil, but the chainsaw still refuses to start, in which case it is necessary to continue the search.
But if you fully carried out all the above-described manipulations and did not miss a single nuance, but still the tool has not yet been fixed, then the problem lies in the group, which is called the cylinder. But if you still could not “bring back to life” your iron friend, then take the chainsaw to a service center where you will repair your device.
Summing up.
As you can see the reasons for the chainsaw breakage, Shtil 180 is quite a lot, and at the same time, there are also quite a few solutions to this problem. If you are faced with this situation, then follow all the above-written recommendations and then, of course, you can repair your device, and it will delight you with its work for many more years.
