Workin’ on the ol’ sawl

Stihl MS170 is a great little saw! Very reliable and good quality.

Good video. Appreciate the awesome tunes to dude !!!

Finally someone showing some simple MS170 mods! Thanks 👍 Now I have to choose from one of my 7 170s and get started!

Ditto on the mirror of the camera, especially when taking material off a specific edge of the flywheel key.

Wish I could see what your doing

Sounds like it falls on its face from an idle… in the future don’t turn the camera around while recording, everything is backwards on screen. A lot of good info here for the newbies, good post! 👍🏼

Nice mod 👍 only constructive criticism (L) jet do with richening slightly for better low end throttle response but yeah awsome 👍 subscribed also 👍

I dont know. i think if you want more power buy a bigger saw.

Good video just a little boggy out of the gate. I did the same mods to a few ms170/017 018/ms180 and there are some other carbs that fit but adjustor holes are off a bit to whats on the plastic believe it was the high setting have to open up he flasitcs  been a comple years and avoiding that carb  stick to wt215 for Least issues

Hey awsome vid and will be doing this to my 170! Question if im looking at the fly wheel do i take materal off going counter clockwise (going right) or do i take materail off going clock wise side (going left). Thanks this vid was perfect

Are you working with a mirror, you said counter clock wise and you turned it to the right which is clock wise. And I have not looked at my 170 for a while but I thought that the fuel and oil are on the left of the saw?

How did you get the flywheel on the right side?

Is that a left handed saw ?

Needs more tuning. It's got a stutter off the line.

Having the video flipped is really disconcerting when your talking about direction and clockwise stuff. Otherwise great info.

I like taking really cheap saws and actually making something out of them kinda like what your doing here. I could never understand why people keep staring at something when they don't like it either. I mean my God move on ! Good video , thanks

It looked to me...like the timing was retarded....if the flywheel turned clockwise...the new slop or clearance..then bias the flywheel counterclockwise...hence the pickup sensor will see the...sensor sooner....

But now as I watch...that is what to you did...

Isn't it nice the Stihl is so tolerant of meddling?...

Heavy hogging is best...

Everything is 180 turned around are you using a mirror to film this,looks like bolts tighten left and crank bolt is left handed,all parts are on opposite site of saw,makes it hard to figure what side of that key way to file...thanks
