I was too lazy to read all the posts but you forgot Tanaka saws, and Shindawa. There is a chinese company that does an exact knock off of Stilh saws. I saw them for sale on Ebay.

Stihl sell a good, plastic piston stop for about $12, part no: 00008935903 A.

please dont use a chisel--if hit just wrong, could bend the end of the crankshaft---

You could also take off the fly-wheel cover and hold the fly wheel with a gloved hand, just for a bit of extra grip.

Or just stick a socket and ratchet on the flywheel nut and turn the motor over by hand untilthe ratchet hits.saves your hands a little.

olyman · 2nd March 2008, 06:08 PM

anything but beating on the end of a crank--it aint no car!!!!!!!!!!

newguy18 · 3rd March 2008, 06:44 AM
