Hopefully this explains the difference between inboard and outboard clutches Phil_H
Stihl had them from the 024/034/064084 onwards, husqvarna were later to the inboard clutch party. I don't know firsthand because I've never done any milling but apparently an outboard clutch is preferred by some people for milling , the theory being it transfers some heat out of the crankcase on long sustained cuts at full power. I think theres a bit of wishful thinking there but like I said I've never milled.
Inboard clutch is easier to change a worn outboard sprocket too. The Stihl can be an arse to undo the clutch nut. Brute force. Yeah I know, a piece of rope fed into the spark plug hole. I just use the plug that came with each saw I bought but the nut is hideously tight sometimes. Message to self, remember to turn in the correct direction.

My 1958 Series 1 Solo Rex 125cc saw got a clean up. Had it running for the first time in 10-12yrs, which would have woken the dead in my local suburbia. She sure is loud & proud. My father bought this saw in about 1959-1960 from what I can find in history and was used right up until the early 80's. The big Canterbury wind of 1st Aug '75 gave it plenty of work on the farm, with tall pines & blue gums down everywhere. Love it with all it's noise & nostalgia.

spet week at my elderly parents place. Dad said my old saw wont start,cant get it to turn over....I picked it up,checked fuel,gave slow pull on cord till she moved then started it up and proceeded to carve up log,refueled and did same again...sitting for years in shed with fuel mixed with car motor oil possibly hasnt done her any good but it stihl cuts very well...so the old boy is going to courier down to me to live out its life with all the others in my stable.it was purchased for me about 35-36 years ago...will be hard case to have both an 025 and 026 in the stable. must look up the specs.
@Mathias you'll grow to love that wee 120

Handy for clearing the viewing platform.
Late last year I dug this old girl out of my fathers shed, where there’s 20 or so old saws from his native logging days.
This 056 magnum hasn’t run for around 25 years, due to a seized piston.
I started with a hiss and a roar, tearing it down and cleaning it up.
I ordered new crank bearings, a gasket set, new piston, and a new rubber handle mount.
Got the parts, then the whole lot sat on my bench for a year.

So last night just before 9pm, I headed up to the shed, my enthusiasm ignited by a successful bore honing job I had done earlier in the day on another saw.
So that is what I started with, honing the bore of this saw. It came up very nice, with just minor historic scoring.
Anyone who has rebuilt any of the professional grade saws will know, they are made to be rebuilt. There are maybe four different types of screw, and their home on the saw is usually very obvious.
Late last night, the only thing left to do, was cut a new gasket for the oil pump, and fit the outboard clutch.
So after work this arvo, I did those last bits, and pulled it over a few times with the switch in the off position. Then maybe 20 pulls with the choke on, and she fired. Choke off, two more pulls and it roared into life. This is the third saw I’ve resurrected from fathers shed in the last couple years, and he’s always pretty chuffed to see them running again.

Some people like to repaint them, and fit new covers etc, but I like a bit of character.

Got the seals and gaskets in a blister pack from Terry in Taranaki, aswell as the two bearings. The clutch side bearing was quite different to mine, in that it carried a circlip on the outer case, where the one in the saw relied on a circlip in the case. I didn’t end up using anything other than the head gasket and new piston. Everything else, I decided was actually not bad.
I think there was a change part way through that series. they also have 2 different types of ignition . These guys are good for hard to find Stihl parts if Terry doesn't stock them https://shop.saegenspezi.de/spare-pa.../045-AV-056-AV
Used 3/4 of a tank of electric. Grunty.
