What's on your bench today?

Recoil on strimmer has had it's day, star fixing nuts all past extraction by usual means and as if that's not enough mower ( Ariens) has jibbed it too:thumbdown:

Thanks Spud, Hugo very helpful, part on it's way!

I did tell you:thumbup: and great value as well!

One of he US guys measured an 026 Stihl before and after porting/muffler mod and measured a drop in temperature.

 

If you want good flow but not a real loud saw, try opening up the outlet hole by 2-3 times - the shroud can be lengthened by brazing/welding in an extra length of shield. If the sound is allowed to bounce of an internal surface before exiting, it will quieten the saw down, forward facing outlets can get pretty noisy!

 

It should give you extra cutting speed just check the colour of the plug and max revs.

 

4 years isn't too bad for after market - milling is pretty harsh and at least it didn't go pop big time - am assuming it didn't:blushing:

 

-think I've read that too, about that 026, the guy showed all the stages of the mod, pretty good write up.

 

-should be quite easy to mod the 880 exhaust, mine's got the cast ally one, so the outlet is a pipe through a bolt on plate.

 

No didn't go bang, developed idle problems...

Yup, I remember that - looks like the ring end has chipped must of the plating off - amazing the ring didn't snag!

Well today I finished early, so I thought I'd do the 254 carb, so took the carb off and stuck it in the cleaner. Happened to glance at the cylinder inlet and noticed a scored piston, so I whipped the muffler off too, to find some retard has changed the piston in the past and put it on backwards! Ring ends + exhaust = bad! Luckily the cylinder isn't too bad, any damage will be removed when I give it a going-over with the dremel

I put a new brake band in a Huskie 3120 in January, and it came back this week.

 

"only used it a couple of times, and its gone again. The last one lasted for years" he said.

 

It had indeed gone again, but this time due to the clutch exploding. Has taken out the band, the drum, the clutch and the side cover.

 

Expensive.

Partner k650 seized (AGAIN!!), new piston fitted - used an 038 piston to give more air flow (windowed piston), runs like an angry bear now! Let's see how long it lasts before the owner kills it again!
