MS211c weird problem

That's what I do and then leave it for 24hours for the sealing material to go off. Pity they don't bolt up before you fit them though. Put manifold back on today, will let you know what happens when I've finished.

Ah-ha, my pictures weren't  clear then !

What you see in those pictures goes straight into the housing as is - compete with fasteners. Further set of nuts to clamp the engine into the housing rather than the std bolts. This was a solution I put together after those long bolts came undone in use - big air leak.

How does that work? Those bottom nuts must raise the motor unit by 4mm or so and the same amount for the clutch and flywheel. Can't see that at all.

I think he is just using the bolts to hold the engine together whilst the liquid gasket dries thus holding the engine together when fitting in to the plastic cradle. You couldn't leave the nuts on the bottom unless you modify the cradle and reckon it would significantly reduce the strength!

That's what I thought Steve, as I do the same thing but he says that he leaves the bolts and nuts on and then put the whole thing back in the frame. Can't see that at all.

Dinosaw - you're quite right that wouldn't work. Material removed from the housing and from the engine pan to get crank back on centreline.

 

Spud - that's how it goes into housing. The plastic bosses for the bolts are a good deal thicker than surrounding plastic. So far so good, done something like a dozen tanks of fuel clearing up a fallen oak. Engine has had a bit of work, could do with a tad more compression (i got that wrong, 24 thou squish) but its not bad for what it is.

Oh! Sorry Steve, only finished putting it back together today as have been doing other saws. Couldn't find anything wrong at all, haven't tried to start it yet but still very firm on the starter. Will post back upon the morrow!

Just man up and give it a damn good tug and when you have finished, try to start the saw?

Ok, fuelled up this morning, still pulled over with difficulty but in desperation, I gave it a shot of WD40 down the plug hole. Eased up and with a small injection of fuel up the hole, started! Needs a tune but what the hell, I'll do it later. Off to my, perfect nick, OleoMac 2640 that I haven't started for two years. Thanks for all the suggestions and comments.
