This service manual contains
detailed descriptions of all the
typical repair and servicing
procedures for this cut-off machine
series.
Service procedures on
standardized parts and assemblies
which are used in several STIHL
power tool series are summarized in
separate service manuals.
Reference is made to these at the
appropriate points in this manual.
Refer to the illustrated spare parts
lists during all repair work. These
lists show the installation position
and order in which the individual
parts and modules should be
assembled.
Refer to the latest edition of the
relevant parts list to check the part
numbers of any replacement parts
required.
A fault on the machine may be due
to several causes. To help locate
the fault, consult the chapter on
"Troubleshooting" and the "STIHL
Service Training System" for all
function groups.
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 and
service manual until an updated
edition is issued.
The special tools mentioned in the
descriptions are listed in the chapter
"Special tools" of this manual. Use
the part numbers to identify the
tools in the STIHL Special Tools
manual.
It lists all the special servicing tools
currently available from STIHL.
To help you use this manual and
understand it more clearly, the text
and illustrations are marked by
graphic symbols as follows:
In the text:
:= Action to be taken
as shown in the illustration
above the text
– = Action to be taken
but not shown in the illustration
above the text
In the illustrations:
AItem pointer (short)
aDirection of movement
(long arrow)
b4.2 = Reference to another
chapter, i.e. to chapter 4.2
in this case.
Service manuals and technical
information bulletins are intended
exclusively for the use of properly
equipped repair shops. They must
not be passed on to third parties.
Servicing and repairs are made
considerably easier if the clamp (3)
5910 890 2000 is used to mount the
machine on assembly stand (2)
5910 890 3100 so that one clamp
screw engages the inner 10 mm
hole (1) in the assembly stand.
123
376RA000 TG
To service the underside of the
machine (e.g. remove the front
handle), turn the machine upside
down and mount it so that one
clamp screw engages the outer
10 mm hole (1) in the assembly
stand.
Always use original STIHL
replacement parts.
They can be identified by the
STIHL part number, the STIH)
logo and the STIHL parts
symbol ( . The symbol may also
appear alone on small parts.
1. Introduction

3TS 700, TS 800
Specific national safety regulations
and the safety instructions in the
instruction manual must be
observed if the machine has to be
started up during maintenance or
repair work.
Petrol is highly inflammable and can
also be explosive under certain
conditions.
Improper handling may result in
burns and other serious injuries.
Important!
Do not bring any fire, flame, spark or
other source of heat near the fuel.
All work with fuel must be performed
outdoors only. Spilled fuel must be
wiped away immediately.

9TS 700, TS 800
4.2 Rewind starter
Problem Cause Remedy
Starter rope broken Rope pulled out too vigorously as
far as stop or over edge, i.e. not
vertically
Fit new starter rope
Normal wear Fit new starter rope
Starter rope does not rewind Rewind spring broken Fit new rewind spring
Spring insufficiently tensioned Check rewind spring and increase
tension
Very dirty or corroded Clean or replace rewind spring
Starter rope cannot be pulled out
far enough
Rewind spring overtensioned Check rewind spring and reduce
tension
Starter rope can be pulled out
almost without resistance
(crankshaft does not turn)
Guide peg on pawls or pawls
themselves are worn
Fit new pawls
Spring clip fatigued Fit new spring clip
Starter rope is difficult to pull and
rewinds very slowly
Starter mechanism is very dirty Thoroughly clean complete starter
mechanism
Lubricating oil on rewind spring
becomes viscous at very low
outside temperatures (spring
windings stick together)
Coat rewind spring with a little
standard solvent-based degreasant
(containing no chlorinated or
halogenated hydrocarbons), then
pull rope carefully several times
until normal action is restored

10 TS 700, TS 800
4.3 Ignition system
Important:
Exercise extreme caution while
carrying out maintenance and repair
work on the ignition system. The
high voltages which occur can
cause serious or fatal accidents.
Problem Cause Remedy
Engine runs roughly, misfires,
temporary loss of power
Spark plug boot is loose Press boot firmly onto spark plug
and fit new spring if necessary
Spark plug sooted, smeared with oil Clean the spark plug or replace if
necessary
Incorrect air gap between ignition
module and flywheel
Set air gap correctly
Flywheel cracked or has other
damage or pole shoes have turned
blue
Install new flywheel
Ignition timing wrong, flywheel out
of adjustment, key in flywheel has
sheared off
Install new flywheel
Weak magnetization in flywheel -
pole shoes have turned "blue"
Install new flywheel
Irregular spark Check operation of master control
lever and ignition module
Faulty insulation on ignition lead or
short circuit wire. Use ohmmeter to
check ignition lead for break. If
break is detected or high resistance
measured, fit a new ignition lead
Check operation of spark plug
Clean the spark plug or replace if
necessary
Crankcase damaged (cracks) Replace crankcase

11TS 700, TS 800
4.4 Carburetor

in valve seat or cone damaged
Remove and clean or replace the
inlet needle, clean the fuel tank,
pick-up body and fuel line if
necessary
Inlet control lever sticking on
spindle
Restore easy movement of inlet
control lever
Helical spring not located on nipple
of inlet control lever
Remove the inlet control lever and
refit it correctly
Perforated disc on diaphragm is
deformed and presses constantly
against the inlet control lever
Fit a new metering diaphragm
Inlet control lever too high (relative
to correct installed position)
Set inlet control lever flush with top
edge of housing
Poor acceleration Idle jet too lean Turn low speed screw L
anticlockwise (richer), no further
than stop
Main jet too lean Turn high speed screw H
anticlockwise (richer), no further
than stop
Inlet control lever too low (relative
to correct installed position)
Set inlet control lever flush with top
edge of housing
Inlet needle sticking to valve seat Remove inlet needle, clean and
refit
Diaphragm gasket leaking Fit new diaphragm gasket
Metering diaphragm damaged or
shrunk
Fit new metering diaphragm
Impulse hose damaged or kinked Fit new impulse hose

12 TS 700, TS 800
Problem Cause Remedy
Engine will not idle, idle speed too
high

idle speed screw LA
Reset idle speed screw LA
correctly
Oil seals / crankcase leaking Seal or replace oil seals /
crankcase
Engine stops when idling Idle jet bores or ports blocked Clean the carburetor
Idle jet too rich or too lean Set low speed screw Lcorrectly
Setting of idle speed screw
incorrect - throttle shutter
completely closed
Reset idle speed screw LA
correctly
Small plastic plate in valve jet
does not close
Clean or renew valve jet

13TS 700, TS 800
Problem Cause Remedy
Engine speed drops quickly under
load - low power
Air filter dirty Clean the air filter
Throttle shutter not opened fully Check linkage
Tank vent faulty Clean tank vent or replace if
necessary
Fuel pick-up body dirty Clean the pick-up body, fit a new
filter
Fuel strainers dirty Replace the fuel strainers
Leak in fuel line between tank and
fuel pump
Seal connections or install a new
fuel line
Setting of high speed screw Htoo
rich
Turn the high speed adjusting
screw Hclockwise (leaner) – max.
up to the stop.
Main jet bores or ports blocked Clean the carburetor
Pump diaphragm damaged or
fatigued
Fit new pump diaphragm
Impulse hose damaged or kinked Fit new impulse hose

4.5 Power unit
Always check and, if necessary,
repair the following parts before
looking for faults on the engine:

at idle speed but operates normally
at full throttle
Oil seals in crankgear damaged Replace the oil seals
Crankcase leaking or damaged
(cracks)
Seal or replace the crankcase

Fuel / impulse hose severely kinked
or damaged
Fit new hoses and route them
without kinks
Decompression valve sticking Replace the decompression valve

the belt tension is obtained through
the spring tension.
– Tighten down all three fastening
screws, starting with the one at
the back.

Since the radial truth of running of
the abrasive wheel changes if the
shaft diameter changes (due to
scoring, etc.), it is sufficient to
carefully inspect the shaft around
the mount for the abrasive wheel.
The axial truth of running, on the
other hand, depends on the
condition of several parts and
should therefore be determined by
measurement.
– Undo the screw and remove the
thrust washer,
see b5.1
:Fit a test wheel (1).
