What's on your bench today?

[Adamam]

This could be the next victim to me having a go at porting. It has no chain break and is a nice old saw but its not stihl so I'm going to look at it and see what I can come up with.

 

Anyone know if pot and piston is available for it. Not sur eon the number as all I can see is a what looks like a 1 and the others are 0 and 9. So thinking its 109. That's all I can make out so far.

 

Yeah, that's a 109.

 

I'm after a pot and piston exactly the same for a Makita DCS430.

 

DCS430, PS43 Dolmar 109, 110...erm probably some others all use the same pot/piston AFAIK.

 

You can get the parts new, but it'll set you back £150+.

 

If you need any other parts, I might consider ixnaying my 430 since I'm losing hope of scoring a used pot and piston.

I will be looking for a chain break assembly for it.

 

I ground out the pot today. The ports are tiny and there is a lot of room for grinding in them I noticed. Started on the exhaust but it was home time. Will get back to it soon.

A rush job last night, a non starting 357XP and an MS261 with a chain sharpened by a novice - both were needed urgently.

 

the 357XP was dry, the fuel line looked a bit iffy and had been asked for it to be changed plus the recoil rope was worn and felt horrible, fitted the new recoil rope - cleaned the cover and pulley, fitted the new fuel line and cleaned the carb in my NEW ultrasonic cleaner - has a built in heater and is powerful enough to blow holes in tin foil:thumbup:

 

After re-assembly it ran fine, the chain on the MS261 was ground sharp - not bad - in at 5.00pm and ready by 11.30pm - thats service:thumbup:

 

Cheers mate ! saw ran faultless... Farmer was happy with his 261 and gave me two days on conny topping ... I don't know if I'm greatfull of that though.

No Worries Matty, just glad I had a bit of time to get it all sorted

I think your quest may be coming to an end, I have something that may be a 109 in my collection and the bore and pot look OK without having had it apart! just need to check it isn't a 112 etc

Well if he has the pot and piston and the chain break stuff is ok I'm in.
