Well in theory, you should be OK if you can log on to your old account:thumbup:

What's the score with this existing account business? Is it just L & S or is it wider than that?

 

I recall trying to price something up on there a while back and getting the message that I could only buy stuff over the counter due to Stihl's policy. Made me chuckle at the time as I just assumed that they were applying the new machine policy to anything Stihl, I was only after a filter or something.

 

Either way, I too seem to have registered for an account sometime in the past:biggrin:

Ok. S back on the 048 av.

Forget the carb boot its fine. Was my worst fear but its fine.

 

The saw was revving high and to calming down when throttle released. Took the air box cover off and it was packed tight with saw dust, and I mean packed, so much so that the throttle linkage and carb wouldn't move once put on full and the choke butterfly would also not close. So the saw wouldn't start from cold.

 

Now I've had a good look at it and there is no gaps or cracks where that much saw dust could get in. It was chain sawdust not the fine stuff that normally gets in. So was this saw run without the cover on? I'm thinking it was.

 

I've used a 048av a fair few times and I have never seen this with my one. Spud I know you used to use one a lot have you ever had this?

 

Just trying to get to the cause of it.

 

If the saw was used on its side cutting the last bit at ground level and pushed through the pile of sawdust that usually builds up at the base of the tree would this do it? But then there would have to be a big gap in the cover for the sawdust to get through?

 

Well have to call the customer tonight and ask him. I do know he made the mistake with it and lent it out.

Where does the air enter the box rich, obviously with the air injection on a husky it would take years to fill the air box, but if it just gets sucked in, logging firewood could fill it pretty fast

Erm. It comes on under Neath by the choke valve in sure of it. Everywhere else creates a seal around the handle and carb plate between the cylinder.

 

I have asked customer and the only thing we can think is the box was working loose, and the operator just tightened it up when he noticed, the operator is a climber and a good saw operator apparantly, so doubt if he ran it without the box on.

[Eddy_t]

No, I mean it might have sucked in a pile of shavings whilst chopping logs up, after all, I'm sure when you've chopped up the main trunk there's loads of big piles of shavings

Oh ok. I would look at this, but the way the dust was packed in that tight I don't think it was just sucked in.

You'd be surprised how much more you get in by sucking rather than stuffing it in

Thanks, a bunch!

I'm hundreds of miles away from my wife and there's nobody else here to test that theory.
