What's on your bench today?

Should be pretty simple, make sure the throttle snaps shut on the idle adjuster screw, if it doesn't then this can cause issues.

 

Thanks, will have a look at that after a cuppa.

Stihl 011 - with a hole for Eddys flywheel and a non oiling oil pump overhaul - stuck plunger, split gasket and a diaphragm compression spring which bounced across the workshop floor (to join the carb springs, filters and other numerous vital micro components) never to be seen again.

 

 

 

ps anybody tell me what that lump is screwed on to the leg of the coil? This is an AVE.

Yours is set up like an AVEQ but in just AV colours, how bizarre

One long reach hedge cutter made up.

 

One "sovereign" strimmer (yes spud another one of those things ) in last minute. Taken out of shed and not running.....

 

Manky fuel (should be using aspen) fuel line in tank perrished. So new lines a good clean and should be good to go.

 

Still waiting on parts for other tools.

 

Also an mtd ride on where the steering ball joints have worn and are not holding in. So need to order some of those in aswell.....

 

I hate waiting for parts.

Given the age of the saw I would imagine its a newer replacement trigger unit that's been bolted by the coil, going by the pic it would've normally be under the flywheel and theres not one in your pic? Has it got a couple wires coming off it that go to the coil wire and kill switch?

If not it maybe some kind of heatsink but the ipl doesn't show one.

Cheers wise - what exactly is a trigger unit? Will have a look at the wire routing soon too.

I'll take your word for it - wish i had some sort of ref manual to see where all the incarnations fit and how they differ.

 

Says AVE on side and on top in small - made in Stuttgart - Type AVQ - what's the Q stand for?

On newer saws, the trigger unit and sometimes a retard/advance unit is built in to the coil itself, basically it takes the HT generated by the coil and unleashes it to create a spark at the correct time in regards to the position of the piston - around 20 degrees before TDC!

 

Older saws and strimmers etc have a seperate little "Can" module that looks after this - your 011 is one of these saws!

Quickstop, originally saws were fitted with point breakers and condensers, I have the misfortune of having 2 of these! When switched off they can still run on for a few seconds if they have been run for longer periods as they have charge stored in capacitors. The quickstop is our modern coils, where the coil produces enough power to spark immediately, and is also earthed immediately, so it stopped quick. I actually need to get my nan to show me how points work...
