What's on your bench today?

[GardenKit]

Thanks eddy. I have no idea. I offered him £70.

 

That's roughly what its worth to me as it will probably never get used. Either that or sent to spud for a little bit of a face lift

 

The hedgecutter was nice and simple. Would run for a bit then stop. Wouldn't run on full throttle. Opened up the carb and the meter valve was low. Checked and reset. All good.

 

Yeah the iPad camera is rubbish for close ups.

At least it is not upside down:biggrin:

[Rich2484]

Ok then. The husky will go on arb trader then.

 

And yes as Barrie has said its an English version as its not upside down

 

Also had an ms200t to look at. Not revving right. Cleaned out carb and it then wouldn't run on low revs. So cleaned out carb again. Now runs perfect.

Turn the 351 into a 346 rich!

Oh dear - here we go again:001_rolleyes: in the early days, saws had contact breakers and coils, this then developed to a coil and a lump of electronics in a small can that picked up when the spark should be generated and this lump of electronics eventually ended up within the coil itself.

 

Latterly this spark generator within the coil ended up having built in advance but that is another story.

 

The Nova unit is a replacement, I believe, for the early contact breaker saws.

 

I think Wisecobandid may be from the US where the Nova unit is more available!

 

Please correct if needed

Cheeky bugger... im just down the road from gardenkit!

Yeah basically its a form of spark amplifier.

Power goes through the trigger which amplifys the current enough to operate the coil fire as its to weak without it. Theres no reason for it to live under the flywheel other than theres room for it there hence why you can just snip the wires near the coil if you think the flywheel could give you issues removing it.

 

Its basically the same as the coil on a pre 80's car which powered the distributor if car engines make more sense to you.

Sorry dude, you are nearer to the US than me:lol: Only come across the Nova unit on AS!

£70 - flippin ek Rich, an old fella as well - surprised he didn't croak it there and then:lol: Just a word of advice, any Husky with clips holding on the top cover are Pro models and hold a premium!

 

There are a few exceptions where the main cover is screwed on but the filter cover will be clipped - that is from the 3 series onwards.

 

£70:001_rolleyes::lol: him a pensioner as well, did you manage to pinch his wallet on the way out:001_tt2:

 

Nice to see a bit of quality on your bench at last:thumbup:

Yeah yeah yeah I know. I did say I have a price at what its worth to me. I wouldn't sell it but send it to you to be done. But it may get a few uses in the year. And at this point a few hundred on a saw would be a waste of money.

 

Anyway its on arb trader now so see what happens. He wants it sold on so said I will see what happens for him. The sale will be with him but through me. If that makes sense. Just putting it out there to see if anyone is interested.

 

Yeah I rekon this stihl policy thing is effecting the colour of what's coming in already. But there are still pants tho. :001_tt2:

Would love to do one of these nova jobs one day - as it happens after much fun got the flywheel off and then had an hours archaeology chipping concrete away from ancient points.They were cemented in. Got totally stumped - seemed to be no cam on the crank- a million imaginations of where it could've gone - then looked inside the inner flywheel / magnet unit and there was a cam'd sleeve in there. . Re- insulated a broken kill switch wire and off into the darkest corner of the workshop - pulled over - BINGO - one of the strongest big blue sparks I've ever seen.

 

re:geography - I thought Gardenkit hailed from Tennessee - so i'm guessing you're a Mississipi boy. and I think he used a pound sign instead of dollars - thanks Barrie

I think the expression is - Pride becomes before a fall:blushing:

 

The Husky is worth £250 - £300 and looks pretty clean to me - not as sexy as the 346XP NE but still a good logging saw!

 

Stihl, Husky....take your pick - both have good saws in their range but the 346 V 026....I know which one I would pick up and it didn't come from Germany:001_tt2:

Its very clean and well looked after. And I've got to say. It is a nice saw. Bit like he one I had in recently. That was heavy but cut nice with plenty of grunt.

 

I don't mine husky but will always pick up a stihl given the choice. Plus there hedgecutters are amazing.

 

Oh and the 266 (think it was) didn't have heated handles.
