What's on your bench today?

Ok so without looking at the ipl is it possible that a needle bearing is different for a spur drum and a sprocket drive drum???

 

I would think not, clutch drums tend to be the same when referring to a machine

Well that is what I was hoping. An ms261 drum that has very excessive free play on the crank. Can get a piece of paper between the drum and bearing.

 

Tried a spur drum on it and it's nice and tight. Same bearing.

 

Ordering a new drum anyway.

 

P.s the 261 has to be the worst design ever for taking the carb off..

Give us a clue to which saw Rich or is this a general request:confused1:

 

From experience, the needle bearing is usually the same but TBH usually use rim drives on anything 50cc + and pro in design.

 

I am guessing also that you do mean spur and rim drive clutch drum.......you been on the sauce again or been sniffing the carb cleaner - should avoid that:001_rolleyes:

Ah, making sense now, you aren't slagging of Stihl are you Rich- reckon you have been cloned or something:lol:

[Rich2484]

Yeah that's the ones.

 

Something like that. I'm blaming the man flu, couldn't smell the carb cleaner today as my nose was too blocked up.

 

A few more brain cells dying away.

 

Ms261, drum is very loose on the crank. New bearing but old drum. Guessing it's the drum but thought I would ask.

 

So blaming the beachams all in one for messing with my head. Oh well off to lifeboat training now, should be fun....

[GardenKit]

Hahahah, I knew what you meant Rich. Hope you feel better soon, but it may be best to skip training tonight or you might give it to the rest of the crew!

We occasionally talk about special tools, anyone know what these are for?

 

 

[Eddy_t]

Turning hydrostatic valves? Or screws that are opposite to pan heads?
