Yes I'm here now. Just stripped it down and new piston on crank just need to put pot back on.

 

Fingers crossed my end aswell. But testing all the way on rebuild just to make sure.

Oh the suspense Rich!

[Rich2484]

Ok. New piston in. Pressure test, passed. Vac test, was a small leak that did not pic up on pressure but turned out the plug wasn't tight enough. Now passed. So back together it goes and then spark test.

Our prayers are for you:lol:

Ok. So who wants to know what happens. I'm still at the workshop if that means anything....... Should I keep spud in suspense until I get home??!!

 

Yeah I think I will.

[Rich2484]

Ok. Home now and nice and warm.

 

The saw runs..... :thumbup::biggrin:

 

New piston and away it goes. It's not something that would have stuck with me before but looking at it it was fine. Just to show you can't always rely on comp tests to pass a saw.

 

Replaced it all and it fired up third pull. Then fired up first time every time after.

 

I reckon its meteor, put one of them in it and it will run.

 

Again this has been one of those jobs. I'm extremely gratefull for all the advice and ideas that everyone put forward on this one. Most I had done already but tested second time around.

 

Goes to prove what an excellent site this is and Steve you don't get enough appriciation. Well form me anyway.

 

Take a huge bow everyone for your input.

 

A HUGE THANK YOU.

Congratulations Rich did you notice anything wrong with the piston when you took it out?

[Rich2484]

Well no. There was some marking on the cylinder but cleaned off really easy. Felt the rings it nothing I could notice.

 

Guess its one of those times that it just needs doing.
