What's on your bench today?

[Matthew Arnold]

Got an FS480 which just died today. Was running at full throtle then just lost all power and compression at about 1/2 a tank. There is compression but you can turn it with your little finger. I think it might be a cracked piston or maybe a blown crankseal. Couldnt hear any whistling as it compressed or went on a cycle. Yet another brushcutter to the dealer.

Pulling the flywheel and splitting the crankcase on a very neglected stihl 026. Last pic there was a folded up plastic bag in the oil tank,

Novel way of splitting the crankcase, always a loathsome job, are you sure that plastic bag isn't some sort of tank sealer - bit of a strange one!
