This service manual contains
detailed descriptions of all the
typical repair and servicing
procedures for the BT 45 which is
based on the series 4140
powerhead.
You will find detailed descriptions of
procedures for servicing and
repairing engine components in the
service manual for the “Series 4140
Powerhead“.
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.
A fault on the machine may have
several causes. To help locate the
fault, consult the chapter on
"Troubleshooting" in this manual
and the "STIHL Service Training
System" for all assemblies.
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 a
revised edition is issued.
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.

3.3 Tightening Torques
DG and P (Plastoform) screws are used in polymer and lightmetal 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 impairing the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified tightening torque is
observed.
For this reason it is essential to use a torque wrench.

6BT 45
Use the following procedure when refitting a DG or P screw in an existing thread:
– Place the screw in the hole and rotate it counterclockwise until it drops down slightly.
– Tighten the screw clockwise to the specified torque.
This procedure ensures that the screw engages properly in the existing thread and does not form a new thread
and weaken the assembly.
Power screwdriver settings for polymer: Plastoform screws max. 600 rpm
DG screws max. 500 rpm
Important:
Do not mix up screws with and without binding head

4. Troubleshooting
4.1 Clutch
Condition Cause Remedy
Tool stops at full throttle
under load Clutch shoes badly worn Install new clutch shoes or a new
clutch
Tool runs at idle speed Idle speed too high Readjust idle speed screw
(counterclockwise)
Clutch springs stretched or
fatigued Fit new clutch springs
Spring hooks broken Fit new clutch springs
Loud noises Clutch springs stretched or fatigued Replace all clutch springs
Clutch shoe retainer (carrier)
broken Fit new retainer (carrier) or clutch
Clutch shoes and carrier worn Install a new clutch

8BT 45
4.2 Rewind Starter
Condition 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
Rewind spring broken Spring overtensioned – no reserve
when rope is fully extended Fit new rewind spring
Very dirty or corroded Fit new rewind spring
Starter rope can be pulled out
almost without resistance
(crankshaft does not turn)
Guide peg on pawl or pawl itself
is worn Fit new pawl
Spring clip fatigued Fit new spring clip
Starter rope is difficult to pull and
rewinds very slowly Starter mechanism very dirty
(dusty conditions) 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 standard
solvent-based degreasant
(containing no chlorinated or
halogenated hydrocarbons). Then
pull rope carefully several times
until normal action is restored

9BT 45
4.3 Fuel System
Condition Cause Remedy
Engine stalls at idle speed Idle jet bores or ports blocked Clean jet bores and ports and blow
clear with compressed air
Idle jet too rich Screw down low speed screw
slightly (see Adjusting the
Carburetor)
Setting of idle speed screw
incorrect – throttle shutter
completely closed
Reset idle speed screw correctly
Engine speed drops quickly under
load – low power Air filter plugged Clean the air filter or replace if
necessary
Tank vent faulty Clean the tank vent or replace if
necessary
Leak in fuel line between tank and
fuel pump Seal or renew connections and fuel
line
Pump diaphragm damaged or
fatigued Fit new pump diaphragm
Main jet bores or ports blocked Clean the bores and ports
Fuel pickup body dirty Install new pickup body
Engine will not idle,
idle speed too high Throttle shutter opened too wide by
idle speed screw Reset idle speed screw correctly
