Chainsaw Repair

Have a thread on this deal over there. Was trying to mention you. But would not let me . Makes sense now. Wish the forums were still thriving like the old days.

What you was trying to tell me?

= All the parts minus the on/off switch cover, finally shipped from the UK yesterday. Stihl delayed it twice adding about 2 months to get.

The switch cover is now orderable from the uk it was not originally listed for sale. But the dealer came through i guess by pressure to get them to list it. So that is ordered with them seeing it by beginning of February. Gotta come from Germany.

Just might have it put together before spring. Picked up a new 500 about 2 weeks ago to do the conversion.

Pictures and build to come once parts arrive.

Parts arrived. Still waiting on the cover for the on off switch. Hopefully here next month some time. 3 days from the uk to me i was impressed.

   

    Just got off the phone with my dealer they say we need the saw to pull the data from the original control unit with it installed on the saw. Thought I could just take both control units and swap data not the case. Something about a more complete file if installed on saw. Dealer called stihl tech to confirm. They say they can save the files on computer then transfer to new control unit . Hopefully tomorrow afternoon.

    Once done with that, get saw back and install heated parts and a few other things.
