What's on your bench today?

9.30pm & only half a bottle down- slacker !!

 

Time for a kip and a rest....bloody saws, think I should do soft furnishings as a change:blushing:

Next time I'm down Tommy's way you can expect a boot full of saws.

 

If I drop them off in the morning can you have them done by the afternoon?

We need to have a chat about where to go now. I guess it seized for a reason so pressure and vac test? The clutch drum is missing, have you tried one off a 372? I reckon it will fit, do you want me to get an aftermarket one in and see if I can get it to work OK?

 

 

 

Good news so far - can send it back as is if you like - choice is yours

 

 

Yes can you pressure and vac test it for me please. The reason the clutch drum is missing maybe that I might have used it for my 372 so yes it may well fit so I think it's worth trying.

Thanks will

The T540 flip up oil cap will not fit the 262xp, the spiral hose will work fine, the standard flip cap will fit the fuel tank.

I recently bought a 042 that runs I was wondering what would waken it up a bit. I was thinking a dual port muffler and Base gasket delete. any other simple mods that would help this saw?

Better confirm if it is a Husqvarna 42 or Stihl 042. You need to make sure the base gasket is possible to be dropped or not. You may risk hitting the top of the combustion chamber with the piston.

Stihl 042 a proper old saw

Just enjoy it, the muffler will be near free flowing, not worth waking the old girl up any more!

Someone has unfortunately damaged the muffler 😔 so I'll probably just repair it and leave her be
