Kickback!!!
Kickback occurs when the
moving saw chain near
the upper quadrant of the
bar nose contacts a solid
object or is pinched
The greater the force of
the kickback reaction, the
more difficult it becomes
for the operator to control
the saw
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
Chain and Bar Color Code Marking
STIHL saw chain will have a green
or yellow tie strap to indicate if the
chain is low-kickback or other than
low-kickback
The bar will have two green or
yellow dots on the powerhead end
of the bar to identify if the bar is a
reduced kickback bar or not
4
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
Install the Bar and Chain
STIHL recommends the use of reduced
kickback bars and low kickback chains on
all STIHL chain saws
Yellow bar and chain combinations are for
trained professionals with extraordinary
cutting needs
Be sure the bar and chain are within the
recommended length for the model of
saw being assembled
Always wear gloves when handling saw
chain to protect your hands from the
sharp cutters

Chain Adjustment
The 1130 saws have a front
chain tensioner
Most STIHL chain saws have a
side chain tensioner that is more
convenient to use
Saws come with a combination
wrench, commonly referred to as
a Scrench, to make bar and
chain service easy to do
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR

Correct Chain Tension
With the chain brake
disengaged, pull the
chain through from the
top side and it should
rotate freely without any
slack appearing
If the chain goes from
tight to loose the
sprocket and chain may
not be of the same pitch,
or the sprocket and chain
may have excessive
wear and no longer have
the same pitch
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
Correct Chain Tension
Regardless of bar
length, check for
correct chain tension
by pulling up on the
chain at the center of
the bar
The tension is correct
when the bottom of the
drive link will just clear
the bar groove

Cutterless Chain for Service
For any chain saw, to properly tune the carb or verify running
RPM at idle and wide open throttle a bar and chain should be
installed
Cutterless chains are available to provide a safe way for the
service technician to do this without fear of the chain coming
into contact with anything

confidential
First Time Start-Up
When the engine starts, commonly referred
to as a false start, move the Master
Control Leverup to #2, to open the
choke and then pull the rope again
The engine should start and run at fast idle
Quickly blipthe throttle to release the
engine from the fast idle position
12
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
First Time Start-Up
If a saw is left in the fast idle position with the chain brake
engaged for even a very short period of time it may overheat
the clutch and chain brake components and possibly ruin the
tank housing as well
To stop the engine raise the Master Control Leverto the 0
(off) position, #4 in the picture
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
First Time Start-Up: Warm Up
After the engine has started and the chain brake has been
released, slowly squeeze the throttle about half way open and
then slowly release it back to idle
Do this several times, for at least 20 seconds, to completely
purge any remaining air from the carburetor circuits and to
allow the chain lubrication pump time to prime the system with
bar and chain oil
Never allow any chain saw engine to run at full throttle without
a load, regardless if it is new or broken-in, for more than a few
seconds
13
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR

Bar & Chain Oiler Check
Carefully hold the
tip of the bar over a
piece of wood or
cardboard
Run the saw at half
throttle and verify
that a line of bar
and chain lubricant
is being slung off
the end of the bar

Factory Testing of All STIHL Products
Every engine manufactured by STIHL has been started and
operated in a test cell
The test cell makes carburetor adjustments and verifies
that the engine runs properly at idle, acceleration, and at
full throttle under load
The test cell measures the running performance and
emissions and verifies that they are within acceptable
parameters
All the dealer needs to do is service the unit and verify it is
ready for the customer to operate it
It is extremely rare that a new unit will need any major
adjustments or repair
14

Fault Analysis: STIHL Engine Check
When a unit is running poorly or not at all, using a systematic
approach to identify any and all faults present will allow the
Service Technician to quickly and efficiently determine what is
wrong
It is just as
important to
know what
faults are not
present as well
as faults that
do need to be
addressed
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
DG Screws
It is imperative that the Service Technician keep track of which
screw is which and not screw them into the wrong base
material or the threads will be damaged
It is also best practice that when starting a DG screw into the
hole, slowly rotate it backwards until it clicksto index the
threads, then turn it clockwise to tighten it
For Plastic For Metal
STIHL uses the DG type of
fastener in manufacturing because
they cut their own threads the first
time they are used
Notice that the ones holding into
plastic have a different pitch and
profile than the ones that hold into
metal

6. Verify Anti-vibration Components
Most STIHL chain saws and line
trimmers have an anti-vibration
system that should be inspected for
wear and damage
Some models do not have any anti-
vibration components so this step
would not apply
20
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
6. Verify Anti-vibration Components
Hold the bumper spike
against the edge of the
workbench and put
pressure against the
handle assemble
There should be strong
resistance to movement
but there should be
some giveto the anti-
vibe rubber bushings
There should not be any
looseness to the handle
assembly

7. Inspect Starter System
Inspect rope, handle, and eyelet for wear or damage
Pull the rope to its full extended length and be sure it is
not about to break at the very end
21
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
8. Inspect Air Filter 9. Inspect Air Filter Housing
Remove cover and the top
of the filter is the clean side
There should not be dirt or
debris on this side of the
filter or down in the throat of
the air intake
Remove the filter and the
bottom side is the dirty side
There should be a pinch
mark all the way around the
edge of the filter to seal it
Verify that the housing is not
cracked or damaged

confidential
10. Carburetor Mixture Screws
Most STIHL products have
mixture adjustment screws on
the carburetor and will be
equipped with a limiter cap on
the H mixture screw and may
have one on the L screw also
The limiter cap allows the
operator to adjust the carb
leaner only to compensate
for operation in high
altitude
If a cap is missing it should
be considered as a fault and
it is possible the screw may
be set too lean
L mixture screw with
cone to guide the
screwdriver in place
H mixture screw
with limiter cap in
the up, or released
position to allow the
technician to make
adjustments
22
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
10. Carburetor Mixture Screws
The 1130 saws do not have
mixture screws or limiter caps
Notice that the H and L holes are
not threaded and are blocked off
internally
The only adjustment on a 1130
saw is to set the idle speed with
this screw
It also makes slight mixture
adjustments as the idle speed is
tuned
This carburetor uses a fixed
orifice jet to regulate the amount
of fuel available to the engine
and is not adjustable
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
10. Carburetor Screw Settings
Limiter caps can be removed by
the service technician for carb
service
Removal of this style of limiter
cap is done with the 5910 890
4501 tool
Anytime a cap is removed best
practice is to replace it with a
new one
On the 1130 saws this step
does not apply

12. Spark Test
Connect a spark
tester and pull the
rope through as if
trying to start the
engine
If no spark is present
try again with a new
plug
A fouled or
defective spark
plug may not show
spark on the tester
even if the ignition
system is OK
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR

12. Spark Test
If there is still a no
spark condition with a
new plug, carefully
disconnect the ground
wire from the terminal
on the ignition module
and now see if spark
is present
If there is no spark the
module is faulty
If there is spark the
stop circuit is faulty
25
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR

confidential
15. Cylinder Leak Down Test
This test typically is not
necessary on a two-stroke
engine but can be done to verify
how well the rings are sealing
with the flywheel blocked so the
piston is slightly down from TDC
A leak down test should always
be done on a four-stroke engine
because the piston and rings
cannot be observed visually
The leak down test also verifies
that the intake and exhaust
valves are sealing properly
28
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
16. Inspect Exhaust Port and Piston
With the muffler removed use
a flashlight and look through
the exhaust port to be sure
the port is not clogged up
with carbon deposits
Move the piston up and down
and inspect the surface of the
piston skirt for scoring or
damage
A piston in good condition
will still have the radial
machine marks across the
skirt indicating little or no
wear
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
16. Inspect Exhaust Port and Piston
Spray some lubricant on
the rings and when the
flywheel is turned back
and forth slightly it will be
apparent if the rings are
free in the lands
Lower the piston to BDC
Inspect the intake side of
the cylinder wall for wear
or damage
29
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
17. Cooling System
Verify that the cooling fins are in good condition and that the
air path to the flywheel and through the engine from the
flywheel is not blocked or restricted in any way
Verify that the flywheel fins are in good condition
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
18. Magneto Air Gap
Line up the pole shoes in the
flywheel with the magneto
Observe the gap between the
ignition module and the
flywheel
The specification is .008
It is not absolutely
necessary to measure this
with a gauge, just be sure
the flywheel is not rubbing
on the module and that the
gap does not look
excessively wide
30
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
19. Fuel Tank
If the tank is empty look down in the tank to see if it appears
contaminated with debris or anything else that shouldnt be
there
If the unit has fuel in it carefully remove the cap and wave your
hand over the opening while smelling for a sour odor that may
indicate old stale fuel
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
19. Fuel Tank
If fuel is present carefully pour the fuel out in a pan and see if
there is trash or debris, or any evidence of other contaminants
such as water in the fuel
This sample is
contaminated with
water and debris
Dispose of fuel properly
31
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
20. Fuel Filter
Use the 5910 893 880 hook tool to fish the fuel filter out of the
tank for inspection
The filter body screen should be clear and in good condition,
and the element may have oil staining but should not be dark
or fouled or have any kind of coating on it

32
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
20. Fuel Filter
It is a good idea to backflow a fuel filter with the pressure
pump to verify that it is not restricted
Hook up the tester and place the filter on a towel and pump
the tester 2 times
No pressure should build up and if the filter is wet with fuel
it should clearly flow out
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
21. Pressure Test Fuel Line
Connect the pressure tester to the fuel line where the filter was
removed and gently pump it up no higher than 10 PSI
If it holds steady then the fuel line is OK, and the carb itself
passes the pressure test
If the gauge does not
hold then either the fuel
line or the carb may be
leaking, so isolate the
fuel line and test it by
itself to determine
where the fault is

To test the fuel line by itself, plug one end and test through the
other
It should hold steady at 10 PSI
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
22. Pressure Test Tank
Be sure there is no fuel
in the tank before
applying any pressure to
the fuel tank!
The pressure test
verifies that the tank
does not have a leak in
any location, such as a
grommet, seam, cap or
hose
Apply about 8 PSI max and it must hold steady
If it leaks down at all use soapy water in a spray bottle
to locate where the leak is
37
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
23. Vacuum Test Tank Vent
Reverse the tester into
vacuum mode and pump
hard and fast to see the
needle indicates that
some negative pressure
is present in the tank
Stop pumping and watch
the gauge and the
needle should move
back up towards zero
rapidly
If the needle does not
leak back to zero quickly
the tank vent must be
replaced and then re-test
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
24. Inspect Intake Side Of Piston
With the carb removed
look through the inlet port
and rotate the crankshaft
to inspect the intake side
of the piston
The machine marks
should be present on a
piston in good condition
Scoring or a dull gray
appearance would
indicate lack of
lubrication, dirt ingestion,
or possibly other
problems that would
prevent the engine from
running properly
38
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
25. Impulse Signal Present
Most two-stroke engines have a
passageway between the
crankcase and the fuel pump side of
the carburetor to cause the fuel
pump diaphragm to flex back and
forth with the pressure/vacuum that
is created by the piston moving up
and down
It is rare that there is no impulse
signal, but always verify that it is
present because no impulse signal
will cause a hard to diagnose,
unusual running behavior that will
appear to be carburetor related
For this blower engine the
impulse signal comes out
through the flange here:
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
25. Impulse Signal Present
For the 1130 saw, remove the white plastic sealing ring, use
the tapered adapter and connect the tester to the impulse port
By hand, rotate the flywheel back and forth and the needle on
the gauge should bounce back and forth indicating the
impulse signal is present
39
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
26. Vacuum and Pressure Test of Crankcase
A two-stroke engine needs an air tight crankcase since the air
fuel mix is coming through the crankcase on the way to the
combustion chamber
Test to verify that there are no leaks at places like gaskets or
RTV silicone sealed mating surfaces, and that crankshaft seals
are not leaking under pressure or vacuum
Block off the exhaust port
by slipping a rubber block
off plate in between the
cylinder and the adapter
plate, then install spacers
and snug up the nuts
while pulling the rubber up
to get a complete seal
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
26. Vacuum and Pressure Test of Crankcase
The Service Manual for each
model describes how to do
this test and gives the part
number for the adapters
For the 1130 saw the special
adapter for the carb side is
part number 1118 850 4200
Be sure the spark plug is
installed and tight
40
STIHL Inc., Virginia Beach, VA 2013 US/STR
confidential
26. Vacuum and Pressure Test of Crankcase
Use the tester to pull a 0.5 bar vacuum; it should hold steady
or not leak back to 0.3 bar within 20 seconds
Rotate the crankshaft back and forth while the crankcase is
under vacuum to verify that the seals are holding properly
Pump 0.5 bar of pressure into the engine and it should hold
steady for at least 20 seconds

Pressure Test Results
If the unit fails the pressure test check obvious things first, such
as the rubber sealing plate on the exhaust and the spark plug,
by spraying with soapy water and looking for bubbles
If they are sealing properly then the engine may need to be
taken apart far enough to be able to check the crankshaft seals
and the seal between the cylinder and the crankcase
If an engine leaks under vacuum but holds under pressure it is
most likely a crankshaft seal

29. Other Observations; Final Running
This is where any other observations about the unit not
specifically covered by one of the numbered items on the
STIHL Engine Check can be recorded
Once repairs have
been made the last
part of the STIHL
Engine Check
document can be used
as a quality control
check to be sure the
engine starts easily
and is running to
specification

Final Check: Roll Out Test
With the engine warmed
up and idling, and the
chain brake engaged on
a saw, slowly roll the
engine over so one side
faces the ground
Now roll it back upright,
then roll the other side
towards the ground
Idle RPM should not
change more than 200-
300 RPM
If the idle changes the
engine may have an air
leak or other fault
