What's on your bench today?

Is there anywhere that sells bulk stihl fuel tank filters?? Fed up with only being able to get one at a time or having to wait for parts. And really don't want to pay 3 quid a time....

 

Is it just me being tight fisted???

MS200T just rebuilt for a chappie in Wales - last fault found - a hole blown in to the pumping membrane flap - seen this one a few times now!

 

FIxed Alec AGG221 dodgy Stihl 026, initially had done a pressure/vac check and a carb tune but still wouldnt pull although it seemed OK when I handed it back:blushing:

 

The plug lead needed sorting as there was lack of continuity on it. I then tried cutting with it and seemed OK for a bit but then started dying and playing up, tried a couple of settings on the L screw and once I leaned it right up and richened up the H screw, it all came alive and works fine.

 

Gave it some abuse with a lot of noodling as can be seen and works just fine now:thumbup:

 

Is it just me or are these 024/026 a right pain on carb adjustment - very finiky and a right PITA to ge right - seems to be on older carbs!

[spudulike]

Started work on a Husqvarna 395XP, it has a bit of a stumble on running sometimes.

 

Repalcing a few screws that are missing, re-tapped a couple of holes, helicoiled another, replaced a screw missing on the carb cover - 13 year old saw:001_rolleyes:

 

Carb in the US cleaner, replaced and rebuilt the HT lead which is good now.

 

Just need to take a look at the clutch, pressure/vac check and then do a final run up and tach tune.

 

Should be fine after this!

 

Almost forgot - rebuilt the kill switch wiring - didn't work but does now!

Oh there a pain alright. Just have to get a knack to it. or throw them around a bit... :lol::lol:

 

No div-h I didn't do this to yours....

pretty sure the 026 / 260 has a longer stroke than the 024 / 240 but not sure without checking tomorrow. Someone will pop up soon with a firm answer.

 

Ask Burrell (Martin), he has converted a 024 to an 026 - he also bakes a nice cake:lol:

What was wrong with the HT lead spud and do they just screw in on huskys?

I bought some 7mm ht lead recently just in case - is that the size to go for?

It is the small spring spur that sits inside the plug cap not pushing through the HT wires and making contact. You still get a spark because the HT will jump 5mm + but can cause a few issues and something I pick up on when doing an all in problematic machine.

 

Some Huskys are sealed in - most of the new ones are but I have fixed them in the past, this one was screw in and 7mm HT is useless on small kit like this, it must be 5mm.....sorry:blushing:

 

One for the bin:lol:

Ive used this ebay seller and never had a problem until my last purchase where clearly they had been sent out and made the u.k but not me. Despite emailing them I had no reply and had to do the resolution process through ebay and had money refunded. this week. As said never had an issue before with them and probably a one off.
