sthil 009 saw

[foxnet22]

I wonder if there is any knowlegeable members who have had any experience with this saw.I have been offered One for 100 pounds.it has had a full service with new parts chain etc.what are your thoughts thanks.

[Winston72]

seems very reasonable, ive had one of these for a good few years its easy to get parts for and uber reliable, is it the 12" model?

[foxnet22]

Yes it has 12" bar just been serviced with new carb filters etc.an old model but i tend to think the old items are the best these days I have Yeste of new sthils huskys being no better than the cheaper makes.

If it's an 09 on a 12" bar it's going to be mentally fast as that is around a 90cc saw. With it being an older model it probably won't have a chain brake fitted but most parts should still be avadible

You must be thinking of the 090 I used to use a 009 for climbing work if memory serves its 36-37 cc

How has it been used?

 

Thrashed by an amateur tree surgeon or used for cutting a few logs by the local vicar's wife.

Yep the 009 is a small saw that came in top handle and std setup, very good saws but the carbs are a bit of a pain to work on and a odd reed valve setup but made in the day when they would take some abuse. The only downside is the do not cut as fast as some of the more moden saws but its on the money for a good, one well used then lower the price by £30

I see with you now my mistake

[Paddy Galore!]

an 090 would be 0.9 cubic inches, about 140cc

my old 045 is 73cc

£80 sounds like a fair deal, if you want to geek it up stihl specs are here, http://www.getsaws.com/S_specs.html

Is that how the stihl numbers work? I never have a clue with stihl's when someone says a model have no idea if its a big saw or a wee one. Atleast with husky's the last 2 are approx cc's

 

I have an abused 361 but from memory there was a 341 that is almost the same enginge size but a different carb set up?

[Dougy]

I had an old late 60s 08S they were 56 cc, originally 48cc but increased in1969.

So your power/ cc rulings may not ring true through the stihl range.

not all the time, they went through a phase in the 70's and 80's, I have a new catalogue so i'll check.
