This service manual contains detailed descriptions of all the repair and servicing procedures specific to this series of chain saws.
There are separate handbooks for servicing procedures on standardized parts and assemblies that are installed in several STIHL power tool models. Reference is made to these handbooks in the appropriate chapters of this manual
You should make use of the illustrated parts lists while carrying out repair work. They show the installed positions of the individual components and assemblies.
Refer to the latest edition of the relevant parts list to check the part numbers or any replacement parts. Parts lists on microfiche and CD­ROM are always more up to date than printed lists.
A fault on the machine may have several causes. To help locat e the fault, consult the troubleshooting charts for all assemblies in the "Standard Repairs, Trouble­shooting" handbook.
Refer to the "Technical Info rmation" bulletins for engineering changes which have been introduced since publication of this service manual. Technical information bulletins also supplement the parts list until a revised edition is issued.
The special servicing tools mentioned in the descriptions are listed in the last chapter of this manual. Use the part numbers to identify the tools in the "STIHL Special Tools" manual. The manual lists all special servicing tools currently available from STIHL.
Symbols are included in the text and pictures for greater clarity. The meanings are as follows:
In the descriptions: = Action to be taken as
shown in the illustration (above the text)
– = Action to be taken that is
not shown in the illustration (above the text)
= Situation applies from
serial number
= Situation applies up to
serial number

Service manuals and all technical Information bulletins are intended exclusively for the use of STIHL servicing dealers. They must not be passed to third parties.
Servicing and repairs are made considerably easier if the powerhead is mounted on assembly stand (1) 5910 890 3100. Remove the chain sprocket cover, bar and chain first. The powerhead can then be swivelled to the best position for the

ongoing repair. This leaves both hands free.
Always use original STIHL replacement parts.
They can be identified by the STIHL part number, the
67,+logo and the
STIHL parts symbol This symbol may appear alone on small parts.

If the engine is started up in the course of repairs or maintenance work, observe all local and country­specific safety regulations as well as the safety precautions and warnings in the owners manual.
Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel and can be explosive in certain conditions.
Improper handling may result in burns or other serious injuries.
Warning!
Do not smoke or bring any fire, flame or other source of heat near the fuel. All work with fuel must be performed outdoors only. Spilled fuel must be wiped away immediately.

3.5 Tightening Torques
DG and P (Plastoform) screws are used in polymer and lightmetal components. These screws form a permanent thread when they are installed for the first time. They can be removed and installed as often as necessary without impairing the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified tightening torque is observed. For this reason it is essential to use a torque wrench.

Use the following procedure when refitting a DG or P screw in an existing thread:
Place the screw in the hole and rotate it counterclockwise until it drops down slightly.Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque.
This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread and weaken the assembly.

Defective oil seals and gaskets or cracks in castings are the usual causes of leaks. Such faults allow supplementary air to enter the engine and thus upset the fuel-air mixture.
This makes adjustment of the prescribed idle speed difficult, if not impossible.
Moreover, the transition from idle speed to part or full throttle is not smooth.
The crankcase can be checked thoroughly for leaks with the carburetor and crankcase tester 1106 850 2905 and the vacuum pump 0000 850 3501.

– Pump air into the crankcase with
rubber bulb until the gauge indicates a pressure of 0.5 bar . If this pressure remains constant for at least 20 seconds, the crankcase is airtight.
– However, if the pressure drops,
the leak must be located and th e faulty part replaced. Then repeat the pressure test.
Note:
To find the leak, coat the suspe ct area with oil and pressurize the crankcase. Bubbles will appear if a leak exists.
– Open the vent screw and
disconnect the hose.
– A pressure must always be
followed by a vacuum test - see
5.6.3.
– After finishing the tests,
reassemble all parts in the reverse sequence.
Note:

5.6.2 Pressure Test
Page 33
33034, 036, 036 QS
Oil seals tend to fail when subjected to a vacuum, i.e. the sealing lip lifts away from the crankshaft during the pistons induction stroke because there is no internal counterpressure.
An additional test can be carried out with vacuum pump 0000 850 3501 to detect this kind of fault.

Note:
If the vacuum reading remains constant, or rises to no more than
0.3 bar within 20 seconds, it can be assumed that the oil seals are in good condition. However, if the pressure continues to rise (reduced vacuum in the crankcase), the oil seals must be replaced, even if no leaks were detected in the pressure test.
– After finishing the test,
reassemble all parts in the reverse sequence.
Note:
Coat the mounting screws for the upper and lower muffler casings with LOCTITE. Insert and tighten down the screws (see "Tightening Torques").

Ignition timing on electronic (breakerless) magneto ignition systems is fixed at 2.5 mm B.T.D.C. at 8,000 rpm and is not adjustable.
However , in view of the permissible tolerances in the electronic circuitry , it may vary between 1.8 and 2.6 mm B.T.D.C. at 8,000 rpm.
Since there is no mechanical wear in these systems, ignition timing cannot get out of adjustment. However, an internal fault in the circuit can alter the switching point in such a way that a spark test will still show the system to be in order although timing is outside the permissible tolerance. This will impair engine starting and running behavior.
Troubleshooting chart - see "Standard Repairs, Tro uble­shooting" handbook.
If the action of the starter rope becomes very stiff and the rope rewinds very slowly or not com­pletely, it can be assumed that the starter mechanism is in order but plugged with dirt. At very low outside temperatures the lubri­cating oil on the rewind spring may thicken and cause the spring windings to stick together . Th is has a detrimental effect on th e function of the starter mechanism. In such a case it is sufficient to apply a few drops of paraffin (kerosine) to the rewind spring.
Then carefully pull out the starter rope several times and allow it to rewind until its normal smooth action is restored.
If clogged with dirt or pitch, the entire starter mechanism, including the rewind spring, must be removed and disassembled. Take special care when removing the spring.
Wash all parts in paraffin/kerosine or white spirit.
Lubricate the rewind spring and starter post with STIHL special lubricant, see 13.2, before inst alling.

into the carburetor until the pressure gauge shows a reading of approx. 0.4 bar.
If this pressure remains constant, the carburetor is airtight. However, if it drops, there are two possible causes:
1. The inlet needle is not sealing (foreign matter in valve seat or sealing cone of inlet needle is damaged (see 12.4) or inlet control lever sticking).
2. The metering diaphragm is damaged.
In either of these cases the carburetor must be serviced.

The carburetor comes from the factors with a standard setting.
This is the optimum setting of the high speed screw under the barometric pressure and climatic conditions at the factory (300 m above sea level). It ensures the machine will deliver maximum power, be fuel efficient and operate reliably.
Standard sett ing H =High speed screw opened
1 full turn. L = Low speed screw opened 1 full turn.
– If the carburetor has to be
adjusted from scratch, first carry out the standard setting.
If it is not possible to check the maximum permissible engine speed (13,000 rpm with bar and properly tensioned chain), do not turn the high speed screw beyond the standard setting to make the mixture leaner.
Caution:
The setting of the high speed adjusting screw affects not only the engine's performance but also its maximum off-load speed. If the setting is too lean (adjusting screw turned too far clockwise), the maximum permissible engine speed
will be exceeded and increase the risk of engine damage due to a lack of lubricant and overheating.
If the saw is used at high altitudes (mountains) or near sea l evel it may be necessary to correct the setting. Carry out the correction with the two adjusting screws:
– Turn clockwise (leaner) at high
altitudes.
– Turn counterclockwise (richer) at
sea level.
Caution:
Even slight changes to the adjusting screws have a noticeable effect on engine running behavior.
Adjusting idle speed Engine stops while idling:
– Turn idle speed screw clockwise
until the chain begins to move.
– Then back off the screw one
quarter turn.
Chain runs while engine is idling:
– Turn idle speed screw co unter-
clockwise until the chain stops running.
– Then turn the screw about
another quarter turn in the same direction.

– Idle setting too rich. Turn the low
speed screw clockwise until
engine speed drops. – Then turn it back one quarter turn
from that position. – Check that the engine
accelerates smoothly when the
throttle is opened.
Correct operation of the carburetor is only possible if atmospheric pressure and internal fuel tank pressure are equal at all times. This is ensured by the tank vent.
Important:
In the event of trouble with the carburetor or the fuel supply system, always check and clean the tank vent.
– Remove the air filter - see 12.1
On older t ank housings (up to
serial number

Pull the previous valve (1) out of the tank housing from outside and install it from outside.
In case of new valve (4), first drain the fuel tank. Then pull the valve out of the tank housing fr om inside. Install new valve from inside the fuel tank, and carefully pull the stem from outside until the valve is properly seated.
– Wash all parts in clean gasoline
and blow clear with compressed air.
Reassemble in the reverse sequence.
Note:
Overpressure may occur in the fuel tank (e.g. due to heat build-up or exposure to sunlight). Always open the tank cap carefully so as to allow any pressure build-up to release slowly.
12.6 Tank Vent

The diaphragm pump draws fuel out of the tank and into the carburetor via the fuel hose. Any impurities mixed with the fuel are retained by the pickup body (filter). The fine pores of the filter eventually become clogged with minute particles of dirt. This restricts the
VA
138RA204
passage of fuel and results in fuel starvation.
Important:
In the event of trouble with the fuel supply system, always check the fuel tank and the pickup body first. Clean the fuel tank if necessary.
Cleaning the fuel tank:
Unscrew the filler cap and drain
the tank.
– Pour a small amount of clean
gasoline into the tank.
– Close the tank and shake the saw
vigorously.
– Open the tank again and drain it.
Removing and installing the pickup body:
Use the hook 5910 893 8800 to
pull the pickup body out through the fuel tank filler opening.
