Hey folks, it is probably a good idea to find pristine, new carb diaphrams if you are going to go to the trouble of opening and cleaning the unit. It will be better if the saw has seen a few years of use to replace the parts. They aren't that expensive and worth it in the long run.
Not to sell you short, my friend, but there is a lady in eastefn Ontario, Canada named Erica from Married to Chainsaws that demenstrates step by step just how to bring a sick, neglected saw back from the dead and making it a "happy machine" again, including the carb rebuilds. She is worth checking out and will show anyone it is possible to do it yourself with success.
MS 171 Stihl. When I first watched you clean the carburetor I thought no way am I going to be able to clean all that little stuff and get it back together working again so I had the dealer order me a new OEM carb for $48. Since the new carb wouldn't come for a few days my wife said go ahead and follow your instructions. I followed your steps very carefully and it works!!! Thanks😀 Subscribed
Ooops, I have a correction from a previous comment. Her name is Erica, but she is with Married with Small Engines. She mainly works on Stihl saw. BTW, my friend, I like your radio voice. Very calming. 😊
I never saw a clean and shiny chainsaw needed carburetor disassembly and cleaning. I hope one day I will find a yt-channel showing a dirty chainsaw needed maintenance. Dirty, clocked, oily like in real life.
Thanks Kyle! Ive got a MS361 that I need to rebuild the carb on. Ive run it for at least 15 years, most of them with ethanol fuel. Its still running good, but is getting a little slow to start and hesitates on acceleration until warm. I managed to get an original Stihl carb from my local dealer for $68, and I went ahead and got a Stihl rebuild kit to try that first. I know my carb is different than this one shown, but I do like the vid. Thanks!
I tried rebuilding my original Stihl MS211 carburetor but I must have done something wrong. Even though it seems pretty simple. And I am pretty handy. Anyway -- I then bought an aftermarket carburetor for $20, installed it, and it ran fine BUT I could NOT get the high, low, idle screws to stay put. Just poor tolerances I guess. The settings kept drifting around. I ended up having to get the dealer to install a genuine Stihl one which cost $52. SO - guys - please be aware of this when you choose an aftermarket carburetor. Try to get one that others report are of good quality. Thanks for the video. No dumb introduction, no music. I do wish you were a bit slower, and closer, and more clear on where some of the parts go. I could follow you, but then again I have taken one of these apart before. Good that you told people to watch their eyes with the cleaner!!!!!!

That's awesome! Now you'll have a spare carb if you decide to get it
Excellent video . I ordered parts from your website
Thanks for checking out the website. I hope you get your saw back up and running soon!

I clean them up before making the video other wise trying to show people how to repair a pile of dirt and grease seems pointless
