Stihl 180 Saw Assembly

Preparing the Stihl chainsaw for work

The preparation of the saw should be approached with all responsibility, since its service life in the future depends on this, as well as the safety of the operator himself. Consider the correct algorithm of actions when preparing a chainsaw for operation:

  • The Stihl chainsaw is being assembled (according to the descriptions and diagrams in the manual)
  • The tire is put on and fixed;
  • The chain is pulled;
  • The fuel mixture is properly prepared: gasoline is diluted with oil in a ratio of 50/1 (the amount of AI-92 gasoline is 5 liters, Stihl special oil for two-stroke engines is 100 ml.)
  • The fuel mixture is poured into the tank;
  • Chain oil is poured into the tank;
  • The reliability of the fastener tension is checked;
  • According to the instructions, the saw is started;
  • The carburetor is adjusted at idle with the corresponding screw (the chain does not have to move)
  • Checking the supply of lubricant to the chain.

But even without this nozzle, some craftsmen have found a way to perform longitudinal spray with a regular bar and saw chain. We suggest looking at a homemade sawmill from scrap materials:

Removing the handle

Direct disassembly of the Stihl 180 begins with removing the handle, which is attached to the body of the chainsaw using three rubber shock absorbers. To remove, it is necessary to remove the plastic plugs from the inner cavity of the shock absorbers, then, using a powerful screwdriver, Squeeze out the upper shock absorber first, then the one closer to the rear handle.

At the back of the handle there is a gas trigger, which is connected to the carburetor through a wire rod, in order to disconnect the rod from the gas chicken, it is necessary to unscrew two screws and disassemble the handle.

Good evening, I have such a problem. Stihl ms180c saw, worked a little, saw trees last time, there were interruptions in the engine. Then it stalled. What did NOT do, 0, disassembled the blew, cleaned, the carburetor, assembled, started up with a half-turn, worked perfectly, gained momentum, stalled, and again 0, replaced the spark plug. Ignition coil, 0, disassembled Carburet, clean, blew, assembled, started. And again he worked, the gasoline ran out, I just poured it, poured gasoline, everything is 0 again, the candle is wet, there is a spark, tell me. How to solve this problem, I described meticulously to make it clearer, can anyone come across this problem.

Hello, and when you turned out the candle, did you try it? Is there a spark? It happens that there is a spark and everything seems to be in order, but the saw still Does not start. I really had almost the same situation on another brand. It turned out to compress comments. I changed the oil seals and it seems to be still working (for the second year already). There is also a problem. Filters. Have you changed them? In general, a bunch, each time different answers, so that you DO NOT bother for a long time, try the service, if it is too expensive, then.

Leakage violation

But if you notice that oil is flowing into the circuit, the cause of the malfunction may be a leak in the connections between the oil tank hose and the oil pump. Disassemble the tool to fix the problem. If the hose is damaged, it is recommended to replace it. Sometimes it is sealed with a special compound. First, the surface must be degreased and rinsed. Sometimes the oil filter breaks, in some cases it gets clogged. In this case, oil may also leak. In this case, the filter is checked, cleaned or replaced with a new one.

Removing the flywheel

The flywheel of the Stihl 180 chainsaw is twisted with great effort, therefore, to remove it, you will need a head with a metal knob. The nut holding the flywheel is unscrewed by the head by 13.

To block the crankshaft from turning, you need to Unscrew the spark plug and install the piston stopper through the spark plug hole, if it is not there, you can use the old starter cord, with knots imposed on it and immersed in the cylinder through the spark plug hole.

It is strictly forbidden to keep the flywheel from turning by installing a power screwdriver and other tools between its ribs and the body of a power screwdriver, with this method of blocking from turning, the flywheel blades are NOT able to withstand the load and break off.

After the piston is locked in the cylinder, you can unscrew the flywheel nut. The thread in the nuts is common, so you need to turn to the left. I loosened the nut, it is not necessary to remove it to the end, it is enough to Unscrew it until its upper edge is equal to the tip of the shaft, after which a soft metal drift is installed on the nut and a sharp blow is made on it. Thus, the flywheel from a sharp impact jumps off the shaft and can be easily removed without the help of additional tools.

Carburetor, muffler and ignition coil

To remove the carburetor, it is necessary to have a head 8 and an extension, with which it is convenient to unscrew the nuts securing the carburetor and air filter. Before dismantling the carburetor, it is necessary to disconnect the ignition wire and the choke rod from the engine control lever and remove the lever, only then the air filter and carburetor are removed.

The Stihl 180 muffler is fastened with two nuts, by unscrewing which you need to pull it towards you, it can be easily removed.

The coil is mounted on two screws, to remove you just need to unscrew them.

Preparatory stage

The repair of any equipment should begin with the preparatory work, and the Stihl 180 saw is not an exception. At the preparatory stage, before the Stihl 180 chainsaw is disassembled, it is necessary to remove the side cover, chain and tire from the chainsaw. Further, with the help of a compressor and a brush, you need to clean the chainsaw from dirt, sawdust, oil drips and other.

In places with a large accumulation of oil, can be washed with clean gasoline.

Remove the drive sprocket before disassembling the clutch. To do this, carefully remove the lock washer from the grooves on the shaft and remove the sprocket and needle bearing.

With a high head 19, it is necessary to Unscrew the clutch. The thread on it is left-handed, so it unscrews towards the tire, and not the back of the Stihl 180 saw.

Having untwisted and removed the clutch, you need to immediately remove the reflective plate and the oil pump drive, this is easy to do, because they are put on the shaft without any fastening.
