What's on your bench today?

Just been working on something just like that, everything gunked up behind the clutch with vegetable oil residue.  Is white spirit the correct way, after the thick has been scraped out?   I don't want to damage anything like oil pipe or crank seals.

Reckon all the rubbers will be pretty fine with whites spirit as they should be ok with petrol/ carb cleaner

Anyone ever had any problems with dodgy NEW sprockets? 

 

Been and picked some repair parts up this aft after work.... 

 

one job was to change the sprocket on 201t. Fit new sprocket and its constantly running the chain..... put brake on and it stalls engine.... clutch is fine and springs ok. You can feel it trying to turn engine over as you turn chain.... thought i’d over tightened it. Backed it off and nipped it up still the same. Removed and cleaned roller bearing again and put back together and its still the same.

 

put old sprocket and back in business! 

 

Possible dodgy sprocket not machined properly? Going to take it back and swap it and get another for another saw...

 

hope its not a bad batch!

Gap all round the clutch to the inside of the drum..... must be the boss that goes over he crank too long maybe and getting tightened downwith the clutch?

Have you not got it meshed with the oiler pinion correctly?

The oiler pinion is where it needs to be and the sprocket is meshed in the recesses as should be

Not a great day, noticed that the clutch drum had a bit too much end float BEFORE the clutch was removed, everything looked fine, went to put it back after rebuild and crunch, this happened. Have had the flywheel side go a bit like this on another MS200T but looks like it has been fractured for a while and that little light grey bit was the only part holding it together as it is the only clean bit that hasn't oxidised.

Bad, bad, bad got another OEM part on its way!

Does the drum have a bit of end float on it - in and outy movement as it should?

All OEM parts?
