Pah. Who needs special tools. :lol::lol:

 

Yeah thanks Eddie. Don't think I will buy one yet as I don't get many husky saws in. I'm going on the piston being the problem for now until I get the carb tweaked. It's a classic worn ring issue, gets hot and dies, won't restart until cool or on full choke but soon dies again.

Best get the adjuster now Rich, as well as the one sided flat one and the one with the single spline.

They are not expensive and you will need them one day.

I usually pull the things out with the tube method and then cut slots in them with a hacksaw - makes adjustment far easier!

Ok. So now I'm struggling a little bit to find a new piston for the husky in this country. Not sure I can justify the cost of one from America. Might be the only choice, so anyone know where one is available or who stocks husky parts that can get hold of one?

That's a bit better. So looking at that the cylinder on its own is around £150????? Blimey. Cheers bill. Have sent them an email. I'm sure there are others out there. Will just have a good look while waiting for a reply.

Busy weekend, MS180 which wasn't running right, took the carb off, cleaned it out, air filter was filthy, checked the piston, compression was 150psi:thumbup: reassembled and started and ran OK...no oil though!

 

Checked the oiler pinion and the part the arm fits on to has worn away leaving the arm a loose fit on the pinion - new part on order and a common fault.

 

Next up a Stihl 011. In good nick but the throttle cable had snapped. wanted to give it a going over anyway and sorted the recoil that was pretty ropey:lol:, fixed the stop switch, cleaned the carb out, pulled the clutch drum off as it had a piece of twine wrapped around it causing issues with the chain running all the time. The saw now starts sweetly and idles and revs fine - just need the throttle cable now.

 

MS200T - full refurb needed - symptoms were it would idle but wouldn't rev out at all - pretty flat sounding - now reving out to 14KRPM and ideling spot on and looks a damn sight cleaner:thumbup:

Got an MS660 in, looks in little used condition but it has seized. The new piston is on order and have now cleaned up the bore - first pic before and second after:thumbup:
