What's on your bench today?

Hi, a lovely little puller, is that the Stihl one, it looks like just the job, cheers.

 

Yes, it is the Stihl one. It can be fab as it was on this job and next to useless on some of the smaller seals but is worth having in the tool box.

Hi….. I have a TimberPro multi tool ( don't laugh ) and it has been a bit of a pain to start it the last 3 months. When you pull the starter cord it will try and yank your arm off. It also refuses to stop running after starting , unless you rev the engine. Other than that , it has been sound .

I kinda suspect a timing issue ??

 

I took the flywheel off to check the flywheel key , for shear , but it was fine.

There are some deposits in the spark plug , not sure what.

Maybe there is too much oil in the mix , but I am pretty keen in that respect , making it " dieseling".

It seems quite a high compression.

52cc engine.

 

Any ideas anyone ????

 

You are spot on checking the flywheel key. It is also worth re-gapping the coil to flywheel. On bigger two strokes, if this gap is a bit small, it increases the ignition adbvance and can make starting a bit catchy if the ignition is fairly advanced as standard.

 

The MS660 is a bit like that for one!

Yeh the plug was a bit black , the deposits went right up around the core of the plug.

I will try the carb settings tomorrow .

 

If that doesn't work I will have a look at Spud's idea ………. Roughly how much gap should I be looking at ???

Spud, i got a metal clutch bearing for my 261, it's a bit better but there is still a fair bit of slop between the bearing and crankshaft wich allows a fair bit of movement on the clutch drum. Am sure I herd somewhere that the early 261 had a crank issue? ???

 

What can I do.
