What's on your bench today?

somthing like this

[Ty Unnos]

and if a spark arrestor gauze is fitted, remove it!

 

Is this considered a good idea then? I have read about it elsewhere but always wondered if it was safe?

[Rich2484]

Hhhmmmm I need a lathe.

The clutch won't make the saw bog, you will find the saw revs soaring and the chain speed slowing in the big cuts if the clutch was slipping - same as a dodgy clutch in a car! The clutch would also get very hot.

 

Bogging in the big cuts may be poor compression due to engine wear, overly rich mix on the H screw, weak mix on the L screw, dirt in the carb, old or split fuel line, bad fuel filter or a multitude of other things - also make sure the exhaust outlet hasn't been crushed and if a spark arrestor gauze is fitted, remove it!

 

I am guessing you have cleaned the air filter???

 

Am describing it wrong spud the chain slows then stops as though trying to take too much then engine Labour's a bit if that makes sense. Yeh air filter was done along with a full blow off not long since. Is the spark arrester gauze the bit between the filter an plug?

lathes are fun as spud found out when he come to mine but its easy to mess somthing up like having a phone in the middle of the job and having to work out what u was doing:lol:

Was thinking about this. No lathe tho..

 

It will be easier to put the gasket back in or make one. The squish is 0.72mm not sure what the clearance needs to be. The piston hits the top but will continue with some pressure against it. So it only just hits the top. Could clean the top of the piston and try again.

 

Clean the squish band + piston crown and test again, take 0.5 from the measurement in mm and make a new gasket of this thickness:thumbup:

Consider it done. May aswell as I've got to take it all off again to get a gasket in anyway.

Yes quite newish one rich.
