Stihl MS181 Chainsaw

Needing some help of anyone with the same saw.My throttle linkage came off today and I'm struggling to see how this twisty bit of metal reattaches to the throttle trigger, and operates the throttle. If anyone could upload or contact me with good photos of its location at both ends, and how it interacts with the carb gubbins.Thanks

  • Possibly get you some tomorrow evening
    • That would be great, thanks.
  • Brace yourself - you need to detach the carb, then rotate it a bit to fit it in the other end of the linkage. It a pain, go somewhere quiet and clean and take your time. Use it as chance to clean everything as well. This is me working on a ms230 which shows it:

    • Hi, one in clip is a 230, looks more like the setup for the ms180. I checked a friend's 180 and totally different from my ms181.
      If anyone has a Ms181 that can upload photos or a video of the throttle rod location I'd get a better idea. Thanks
  • im on my second one of these

    the spark plug rattled its way out and wore away all the threads....

      Tip for next time is to put a helicoil in.
      It will give you a new thread to work from. A bit fiddly drilling out the old thread the right size but once you've done that you just put it in and then add spark plug.
      • i've been to 4 different dealers who can't find a helicoil to fit it :(

        its sitting in bits on a mechanics workbench right now....

          I've got an ms170 say in the garage in a box as it needed the oiler changing and the dealer was not very helpful saying he wanted 3 weeks to swop the bits. So I bought the spares and not had time to do it yet I had to buy another to get on with a few jobs.
          Another job for this winter if it ever arrives!
          It's amazing how much you use them for the odd 2 minute jobs. I would not be without one now.
