Affirmative on everything you mentioned! if it is left leaking,
it will just fail again! Decomp is no big deal to replace, the
rest is a little more problematic but still needs to be done.
You could replace the decomp with a blocking plug $2-4 from
dealer. Leak from gen mount hole is beyond my knowledge for this
model saw.
My experience with other saws that have a provision for mounting
generators under the flywheel is that the holes for the mounting
bolts are usually blind. If the other holes are not leaking then
perhaps the leak could be repaired by putting a bolt in the hole
with some red Loc-Tite (WAG)! Does not make sense that Stihl
would have left a mounting hole open to the inside of the
crankcase without providing a method to seal it off!

Well they are blind holes. I can still see the end of the hole.
Don't know if they they got in there to far with the drill and
tap or what. It is a very slow leak. For the decomp the one on
an 084 is coarse thread. Not like the ones for 260-660. I
usually replace all the above mentioned stuff when I would do a
top end replacement. But the guy I am fixing it for does not
like to spend any money.

Then tell him it isn't worth fixing and don't waste your time
and his money.
They are WAY too expensive to half ass.
Plus, it will be your fault when it fails again because he
didn't want to spend the $$$ to fix it correctly!

Very true. Talked to him yesterday and let him know what I
thought and have not heard how he wants to go yet. Hope he will
put the parts in the saw. Should make a real nice saw for a long
time.

Perhaps if you could find three of the correct screws that were
short enough that they would not interfere with the flywheel,
you could use them and sealer to block all three holes and stop
the slow leak. Not much $ and would keep the saw from coming
back.
Like MS61 said above. If I get a saw that needs something and
the owner does not want to pay for, I'll put it in anyway at my
expense just to keep it from coming back, with the owner whining
at me! You cannot work miracles but you can avoid the whining!

084 flywheels
By: aclarke Date: May 5, 2014, 10:02 pm

Are there differences in early vs later 084 flywheels. Do all
have the small "module" in addition to the coil? Thanks. Adam

I know this dont answer your question. I remember 3 coils and 2
flywheels. Thinking 1 of the flywheels had dual key ways.
I would swear 1 of my 084's didnt have the small trigger.
I'll go look at IPL's etc.
I gave my hard copy of 084 service manual away. So cant look
there.

Kev, the one I have here is a basic coil/flywheel set up like
the 088/880. Sold one a while back that had the small metal
module mounted near the flywheel. Reason I ask, is that Adam32
has one he's putting together that seems to be way too
advanced... I'll check part numbers on mine tonight

Stihl 084 404 stock
By: Cut4fun Date: August 13, 2014, 12:25 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Found a old video of the 084 I rebuilt stock that Adam Clarke
had gave me at Chardon and then traded to other Adam out west.
Just stock 084 .404 chain and ole spruce test cuts after
rebuilding.
Stock Stihl 084 running stihl ES bar, 7T sprocket and 404
woodsman pro chain. ( CHAIN is crap out of the box )
2 cuts let it feed, 3 cut I pushed it hard into knots I cut in
half.
