What's on your bench today?

What do you guys do to seal the exhaust port on a 200t to do a pressure/ vac test?

Im sure there is easier ways than how I struggle?

Soft rubber sheet with two holes in it to accept the bolts - similar to you but better!

Ok thanks mate.

Had an stihl 024 from an engeineer i work along side every now and then. Was bogging striped down cleaned the carb dont think the saws seen much work. Had a load of junk in the carb ifllter think just from stale fuel . Any way was going to tach it. Any body know the max rpm ?

 

13,000rpm on that one - that is maximum so aim for circa 12500 on the chosen bar length - the L screw is left a bit lean as the carb can blow fuel back on to the filter if too rich.

Im still standing by the manifold being perished It does involve removing the carb and dropping the tank/handle to check which is a 10 minute job maybe 20 if your winging it a bit.

Bar and chain off

Remove air filter with a flat bladed screwdriver/scrench

Small flathead to remove black part of handle to remove carb linkage rod

Remove fuel pipe

10mm socket x 2 nuts to remove the carb-pull out circular insert and ring from end of manifold

Remove the triangle rubber buffer mount by carb t27 screws x3

Under Clutch drum lever out the 2 white round plugs (front 1 should have the silly chain guard thing on in case of chain breaking)

Then remove the 2 x t27 screws that live under them holding the tank in place.

Slacken/remove front end handle bolt/s

Should now be able to feed/push the inlet manifold thru the plastic handle along with impulse and remove handle to inspect the manifold properly aswell as the impulse. (impulse can be a pig to fit with handle in place unless you have forceps or similar)

 

 

I am skilled at this now as I did each component on their own. I did remove the manifold but could not find any deterioration. I flexed it, examined closely. I could as you say fit one to try. But I don't fancy doing that, then doing the carb with a kit. Then it is something completely different and a write off. Lack of confidence and experience and without you helpful folk it would be without knowledge. I have rebuilt tractor transmissions that have failed and done heavier mechanical repairs. But small engines are an unchartered territory when it gets more complex for me.

Here we go, a bit of saw porn for Eddie:001_rolleyes:

 

I did tach the saw today - then found the recoil had jammed and a quick inspection showed the flywheel had come loose and was rubbing on the starter pulley:001_rolleyes: I held off the auto vane rev limiter - boy that sounds flash for a flappy thing that closes the choke if it goes a bit fast:lol:

 

Anyway - held it off and adjusted the carb for 7500rpm and then set the autovane to kick in around the same - don't think I am too far off the mark in doing this.......am I Eddie????? First one I have done....ever!

 

Last pic is a comparison to the 3120XP - now singing again:thumbup:

Looks a bit heavy

They both are - especially when you forget to connect the fuel line to the 3120XP and drop start it 20 times:001_rolleyes: burke:lol:

 

Abbey say your seal will be with me today:001_rolleyes: hope it will hit tomorrow:lol:

No idea - just put it on there to run it up - I dont think it would stop it even if you put full weight on it:lol:

 

20" before anyone asks!
