Introduction
The special tools mentioned in the
descriptions are listed in chapter
"Special Servicing Tools" 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.
This service manual contains
detailed descriptions of all the
typical repair and servicing
procedures for this power tool.
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 of any replacement parts.
Symbols are included in the text and
pictures for greater clarity.
The meanings are as follows:

Refer to the "Technical Information"
bulletins for engineering changes
which have been introduced since
publication of this service manual.
Technical information bulletins also
supplement the parts list until an
updated edition is issued.

In the descriptions:
A fault on the machine may have
several causes. To help locate the
fault, consult the troubleshooting
charts for all assemblies and
systems in this manual and the
"STIHL Service Training System".
n
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.
To service the underside of the
machine, turn it upside down and
mount it in the assembly stand.
Pull the hand guard back against
the front handle for this purpose.
Always use original STIHL
replacement parts.
They can be identified by the
STIHL part number,

and the STIHL parts symbol (
This symbol may appear alone on

Servicing and repairs are made
considerably easier if the clamp (1)
5910 890 2000 is used to mount the
machine on assembly stand (2)
5910 890 3100 so that one clamp
screw engages the outer 10 mm
bore (3) in the assembly stand.
The chainsaw can then be swivelled
to the best position for the ongoing
repair.

Safety Precautions
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 owner’s 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

Tightening Torques
DG and P screws (Plastoform) are used in polymer and light-alloy 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 detrimentally affecting the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified
tightening torque is observed.
For this reason always use a torque wrench.

Screws secured with adhesive are easier to loosen if the adhesive is heated first with a hot air blower.
Exercise caution on polymer components.
Use the following procedure to fit a P (Plastoform) screw in an existing thread:
sio
n
– Place the P screw in the hole and rotate it counterclockwise until drops down slightly.
– Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque.
er
This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread,
which would weaken the assembly.

Push cover washer (1), "TOP"

Contamination (with chain oil, chips,
fine particles of abrasion, etc.) and
smoothing of the friction surfaces of
the brake band and clutch drum
impair the coefficient of friction.
This, in turn, reduces the frictional
forces and thus prolongs the
braking time. A fatigued or stretched
brake spring has the same negative
effect.
ep
Use protective jaws so as not to
damage the clutch.
The chain brake is one of the most
important safety devices on the
chainsaw. Its efficiency is measured
in terms of the chain braking time,
i.e. the time that elapses between
activating the brake and the saw
chain coming to a complete
standstill. The shorter the braking
time, the better the efficiency and
protection offered against being
injured by the rotating chain.

Vacuum Test
If the vacuum reading remains

good condition. However, if the
pressure continues to rise (reduced
vacuum in the crankcase), the oil
seals must be replaced.

Oil seals tend to fail when subjected
to a vacuum, i.e. the sealing lip lifts
away from the crankshaft during the
piston's induction stroke because
there is no internal counterpressure.
An additional test can be carried out
with vacuum pump to detect this
kind of fault. Carry out the same
preparations as for the pressure test

The ignition module accommodates

two electrical connections on the

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

In the event of trouble with the

system, always check and clean the
tank vent.
Check function by performing
vacuum test on the tank via the fuel
hose.

146RA190 VA
Limiter caps that have been
removed once are damaged and
must not be re-used.
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.
Equalization of pressure in the
fuel tank takes place via the tank
vent valve (1). There must be no
build-up of vacuum during the
test. In the event of a malfunction,
use a screwdriver to remove the
vent valve (1) and install a new
valve with a new sealing ring.

Pickup Body
12.7
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 passage of fuel
and results in fuel starvation.
Fuel Hose
