What's on your bench today?

[peatff]

I know EXACTLY how that feels. Do yourself a big favour and get some eye protection if you haven't already - I find myself wearing safety specs most of the time now!

 

It's the first thing I do when I go in the shed, glasses on and gloves for the dirty, hot or sharp jobs

Those 262s sound really nice, one of my favourites!

 

Yes, that did sounded good about an our... too small sguish and new bearings lasted only our previous piston had only about 0,34/0,33mm on top of the piston and compression was 225 with aspen. I thought it will be ok but not. Last night i put bottom together but that bronce worm gear is giving me trouble... i was veey tired and heated the bronce gear with gun and droppedit in, then realised that i havent put seal in i hate myself...

If you are trying to run it with no base gasket, you can't on this saw. It must have a base gasket to give it correct squish or the outer piston crown turned down to make a pop up if you are tuning it!

 

The rest sounds like a learning curve!

Strimmer running erratically and dying. Flushed fuel tank out - full of jelly like gunk.Wonder if somebody added motor oil. Cleaned out, new fuel line and filter -still running ropey.Opened carb not surprised it was struggling with this jelly blocking the filter.

The 'jelly' will most likely be the result of "phase separation" which takes place in stale fuel due to the ethanol having absorbed its volume of water. This mix becomes highly corrosive to aluminium.

Cheers Barrie. Learnt something there.

Have maded few pistons to test...first the compression was a bit high... 225 only 5 pulls... with too small sguish with 1.0mm grinded piston. Now the 1,3mm grinded piston is in and compression is 195/198psi
