What's on your bench today?

Cheers guys.

 

It runs good, just being a pig on tick over, but it was running sweet yesterday.

 

Wasn't overly concerned about the comp to be honest.

 

The carb does have an accelerator pump:001_rolleyes: found that out recently:thumbdown:

Just start at one turn out on each. I usually take the carb off, remove the screws and then slot them:thumbup:

 

I did see a "poor mans adjuster" made from some coat hanger wire and a cable connector crimp - like a spade terminal crimp but with a wire crimp both ends - not tried it yet!

 

Thanks mate.

yeah i know. its in the manual. but this one is working fine.

 

was the meter valve, on inspection you could see the worn ridge on the end. new one in and a tune on screws as they where well out.

lol. I actually got the proper tool now it arrived today for doing the husqy etc carbs.

Ive always used the connector method, or a bit of tube pushed over the end up to now.

Done it quite a few times so thought I would bite the bullet and pay £15 for the tool. (no more than a glorified screwdriver) Prob wont have a use it for 6 mths now hehe

Tell you what mate the way the grommet lines up with the screws on the 142 I got here its easier to prob take the cover off and use the connector method. They don't line up and always off centre.

Prob easier to cut the nib end of a felt tip pen and push that over the screw to adjust them

ok. need to check something.

 

has anyone heard of canadian chain?

 

had a 048 in and it needed a new chain, the owner done this himself. but he come back to me saying the shop he went to for the chain said it was a canadian chain and bar?

 

so he had to make one up or something along those lines, ive never heard of this so thought i would ask around.

 

is there such a thing? it was a stihl bar and .404 chain. didnt know there was a difference in the chains by country....
