A STIHL 045 av is 75cc and the max recommended bar size for it is 32".
However... If you have a 045 av Super then it would be 87cc and the max recommended bar length would be 36". So it depends if you have a SUPER or not. It is easy to tell as it will say SUPER on the top tag right below 045 av.
Can I put a 18inch bar on a stihl
yes
Probably because it's just a safety feature that Stihl has put in so that if you pick it up wrong you don't hurt or maim yourself by accident.
First remove the clutch cover to expose the clutch, bar studs and area of the tensioner. Next you need to remove the bar studs. To do this tighten two nuts agains each other on the bar stud, then put a wrench on the lower nut and use it to loosen the whole stud. Repeat for the 2nd bar stud. Sometimes if you are lucky you can use vice grips on the shoulder of the stud to unscrew them, be careful not to damage the threads. After removing the bar studs, the inner bar plate and tensioner assembly lift right out. http://store.chainsawr.com/
You can use the same flywheel but need to put in a complete solid state ignition set up. http://store.chainsawr.com/

Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.Normally the status bar is there, but it is possible to put a toolbar there too.
Check for spark. If its got spark than its probably fuel related. If you left gas in it, then it could need a full cleaning (carb, fuel lines, filter, etc). Before you clean the heck out of it you should check the compression and make sure it isn't shot. The quick easy way to check compression of a chainsaw is to pick your saw up, hold the starter handle then let it hang from the handle. The saw should NOT lower to the ground. If it does then you have lost compression. Always drain your saw of gas when you plan on storing it. Then run it till its completely dry and has no fuel in at all. Then put it in a dry place.... that's the best way to store them. you can leave the bar oil in it, it doesnt go bad......
The Bella Coola tribe used bows, arrows, blowguns, clubs & spears. They would put darts in the blowguns, and sometimes even add poison.
both... you mix the oil and gas to a 50:1 ratio......it has to be 2 cycle oil though
you put the higher number in the top of the bar, then put the least one on the bottom. Then you put a minus bar on the left, bottom corner. Do the math in your head or on a calculator!
1: First you put the bar of 3 in the bottom of the right hand corner. 2: Next you put all three of the 2 square bars next to that on the bottom. 3: Then you put down the long "L" shaped bar in the bottom left hand corner. 4: After you put the stair shaped bar in between the three bars of 2 and the long "L" shaped bar. 5: Lastly you put the small "L" shaped bar against the stair shaped bar. 6: Finally you put in the last piece and move on.
