What's on your bench today?

A regular picked up two mower blades that I had in tonight, also dropped off a hs45 hedgecutter.

 

Was using it and heard a ting ting ting then it stopped dead, wouldn't pull over either.

 

Jammed solid.

 

Took plug out no change, took exhaust off and barrel and piston was fine.

 

Removed engine and the clutch assembly fell out. Spring had broken and jammed itself in there, caused some damage to the casing but nothing dramatic.

 

New clutch will be ordered in the morning.

now that's why we should all take are stuff back to a stihl dealer

SO THEY CAN SELL U A NEW PRODUCT :sneaky2:

rather than fix the one u have

good service again spud was it the nice 032 u had

 

Thats the one, very clean for its age and runs well!

Husky 266se.Picked it up last week with a couple of lawnflite mowers.On the face of it, 25 quid as part of haggling.

Its been unused for a few years but the chap had put a lot of oil on the bar and brand new chain and drained the fluids.It will fire, but wont run for any length of time.In good order apart from this.Very clean inside and out.Plenty of comp, so i think it probably needs a carb rebuild.

Not all dealers, there are good and bad in everything.

 

To be fair with this case, there are not many dealer mechanics left who have actually seen a set of points:biggrin:

Pity you didn't help with my question about points a while back! Trial, error and a knackered shoulder to get them sorted you think the kick off that 066 red eye was bad, try an 090!

Bought this old trades bike at a boot fair and spent all my spare time for the last 3 days freeing every thing up and modifying parts from a donor bike.

The owner is a happy man and he should be for the work I have done and the small price I am charging, got to be fair though as it was one I sold him - fault showed up a few months later but should be all good now:thumbup:

 

Fair point that.
