Ifixoldjunk 778 #1 Posted April 15, 2022 so I’ve did it again. My friend gave me this 1970s era stihl 020 AVP. It kinda half runs right now, it idles high and dies after a minute or two of running. Think it needs some carb work. anyone know anything about this saw? How to tell what year it is precisely? Availability of parts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,538 #2 Posted April 15, 2022 Quick search on the webs didn't get me far. Maybe ask a dealer to decode? Looks like they were made from around 71 to 76. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwell-8 4,276 #3 Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Stihl still sells parts for the older saws. I am currently negotiating a deal on a Stihl 090. That also needs some work. great saws in my opinion Edited April 16, 2022 by Maxwell-8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
