What's on your bench today?

[Mike Dempsey]

I have a throttle spring on order from Jonsie to fix my husky 281XP. Is there an easy way to do this or is it one of these strip down half the saw to get this located properly? I have checked the maintenance manual and it looks pretty straightforward but I know it probably wont be!

Not done one of these but is usually a case of driving out the pivot pin, removing the throttle, fitting the new spring and then refitting.

 

Can't be that hard:001_rolleyes:

Yeah, try doing one on an 076. Involves dismantling half the saw and sacrificing the back handle cover in the process!

Well the ported 346Xp runs up and cuts super fast now:thumbup: The HS81 trimmer now runs and cuts fine - carb clean and some work on nthe cutters sorted it!

 

Shock, horror - MS200T craps on Spuds work bench:lol: see first pic!

 

Cracked in to the first MS200T, the carb responded to a retune so gave it a good clean in the US cleaner, found the earth strap on the handle was broken so repaired it, good clean up, replaced one of the crank seals, chain catcher and clutch springs.

 

The owner wanted it tuned so did a muffler mod, ported the cylinder and lowered the squish.

 

Fired up and runs well now:thumbup:

Have you tried dropping traktorist2222 on ebay a message? He keeps a good stock of used spares. He's German, but his English is excellent and he is happy to ship to the UK at a decent price. I know he stripped down an 044 recently as I had the pot and piston.

Stihl ht75, needs a new drive shaft, carb kit, fuel cap and filter, spark plug boot, and the local dealer isn't being very helpful in giving me the damn prices!
