What's on your bench today?

[Eddy_t]

Had a bit of a busy day today.

 

First up was a stihl saw. I have worked on it before but can't remember what one it was an ms19 something or other. Anyway. Wouldn't go to stop. The ground lever wasnt going past the small cam and grounding out. Gave it a bit of a bend and all is fine.

 

Next was a Hayter mower with Briggs and Stratton engine. It was fired up once a week over Xmas to keep the fuel from gunking up but this time it just wouldn't start. A bit of fuel down the intake and away it went. Left running for half hour and all was fine. Stopped and started good. Said to keep an eye on it and of it wouldn't start at any time to call and I will clean out the carb.

 

Then it was a Honda water pump. Would start on choke but when choke off would rev its nuts off. It was lent out before and came back like it. Checked and cleaned fuel bowl and main jet. Bit of crud on bowl but jet was clear. On putting back together noticed the governor was jammed open all the way with a bit of cardboard....... Removed this and it was all good again.

 

Finally is the one I think I'm going to be stuck on. A dolmar 116. Chain break cover was not going on properly. On removal I discovered that he had tried to put the cover on with the chain break band closed. This had jammed on the clutch drum and then it has been forced to go on over the top. The drum was badly worn and is now all bent up. A few tweaks and its straight again and got the cover on properly but the drum still needs to be replaced.

 

So a question is who or where can I get a new drum for it from...

 

eBay, anyone who sells oregon parts

Ok. I keep looking. It's for a trust so I'm not ordering anything until they say so.

 

I've been looking Ito pressure testers. I have a vac tester coming but what pressure testers is everyone using?

Yep that's the one I'm looking at. Just need to get to the workshop and check the pitch size of chain. But hey I can always sell a new chain aswell

Coming soon to a bench near you. (Spud that is)

[Rich2484]

What's wrong with it Peter..? Or is it just going for a bit of spud special spa treatment.

[Peter]

Lean seize apparently, but its going for the full works, massage and aromatherapy, seaweed wrap and a detox.

Well, the 026 is still proving annoying. Carb fully cleaned and carb kit installed, new impulse line (without even swearing, is this where I went wrong?) and new fuel line.

 

All back together, H and L screws at 1 turn and it won't now run at all. It's fine if you pour a teaspoonful in through the air filter - starts and runs fine. It just won't run on the carb at all.

 

Suggestions?

Send it my way mate. Ar worst will cost you the postage for me to check it over.

[Rich2484]

Ok then.....

 

No fuel getting into carb. Is the tank getting pressure? Is the impulse line on right and working. Is the diaphragm on the right way up. Is the plug wet after trying to run. The carb has been cleaned but is it actually clean. Are the holes and channels clear. Is the meter valve working like it should and set right?

 

 

Is the comp good?
