I did not see a thread for the 070/090 chainsaws, so I thought I would start one about the 070 I got running today.
I got this saw from a buddy as payment for getting another saw running. Had to clean the points, repair the kill switch and adjust the carb to get it up and running again. Now I have to find myself a long piece of 1/2" pitch chain for the bow bar that came with the saw. I would also like to replace that patched up plug wire at some point.

Bill G had a guy that would make an adaptor to take rim drive sprockets to change from 1/2" to whatever size you wanted to run .
That might be an option as opossed to finding a long piece of 1/2" .Not that you can't find the stuff it's just kinda scarce .

Oregon actually makes a rim drive system for the 070/090 saws, which I have ordered with a .404 rim. I am going to convert the pitch so I can have more chain options.

I got a little off subject due to the fact I was thinking about an 090G which in essence is an 070 variant with a gear reduction unit .

Ah..... Now that could be very handy on a gear driven saw.

Well on that over the years several people have acquired an 090g only to be snowballed trying to find 1/2" chain to fit it .The 090G has a weird looking spur gear and the original .404 optional spurs are very rare .

Hello guys! can anyone help me get a repair manual for a stihl 070 chainsaw? Its very hard to find it here in our city.

FWIW just about any repair or shop manual for any Stihl are hard to come by .Lots of us have illustrated parts lists and a few have owners manuals .What few shop manuals I have is on micro film and I have no way to copy them .

In the SM and IPL section here, there is 2 guys that have the 070 090 service manual that can be linked or emailed in pdf. Contact them. They are in 2 different threads there.
peppone and Roanoker494
The link in thread there no longer work and the other guy has it email-able.

Was looking for these pics on a 090 for someone.
Here is a stihl 090 I passed on a couple of years ago for $200 running and cutting with 42" , plus shipping in 2 boxes. Do you see the one flaw that made me think think think and pass.
At the time I had 4 084 2 3120 2 166 so I really didnt need a old heavy dinosaur laying around.

Front bar stud is broken and no clutch cover
-
Had a new NOS clutch cover to go with it and dont remember any broken bar studs (dont recall). Maybe just the nut on front one?
-
I now see there is nothing wrong with the front stud
Looks like the top handle may be broken and I don't know how they were made but the full wrap part of the handle may have been removed?
-
Colder, Jim look real close at center of pic #2 ;).
-
Is it my old peepers or is the clutch welded to the crankshaft?

BINGO! Guy put a new clutch drum on and the threads stripped on end. So he welded it.
