What's on your bench today?

[Rich2484]

That is the edge the clip sits in. The sprocket is on the other edge.

 

So that adage out wards.

Something wrong then because when it's all together you can pull the sprocket out and turn it and the oil pump drive comes out the notch...

[Rich2484]

Sorry, what saw?

[div_h]

The dreaded 026, that's not fair it's been great just wasn't happy with the oil leak and the lack of oil going on the chain

[Rich2484]

Have you put the big washer behind the worm gear?

 

The blooming great big one with top written on one side?

[div_h]

Yes it's there I front of the worm gear

Didn't finish

[Rich2484]

And the right way round?

 

I've done this before and it was the same.

 

Also is the clutch on the right way round? And is the drum the right one for the saw?

 

Sound strange, unless there is something worn out. Like the worm gear.

[div_h]

Yeah all looked good and the clutch can only go on 1 way was thinking the drum, it's new but think its a cheap 1. I'm sure I've got the old stihl 1 al try that.

[Adamam]

There are two 026 drum/sprocket versions, one for the oldest (non-adjustable) vesion and one for the adjustable version (most of them).

 

Not that is it?

 

From what I can remember (too cold to go to the garage yet!), the non-adjustable version is narrower/less deep, depending on your point of view!

i had this Huskie 325 b'cutter on the bench today. The owner reported that when he tried to throttle it up it would just keep cutting out. If he coaxed it he could occasionally get it up to revs

 

Ok, so this is a common story methinks, just pop the carb in the US chip basket and then rebuild with new diaphragms and tune, Simples!

 

Except it was no better. It would tick over fine, but just attempt to rev a little and die.

 

So, off with the carb and check it over again. No, that was a waste of time, it was fine.

 

But still the same problem. Then a little flash of inspiration. Took the throttle handle apart and found that at some point the stop wires had been wrongly positioned and the throttle cable was rubbing across them. In one position, just above tickover the throttle cable had chaffed through the insulation of the wire, and was shorting out the ignition just at one point.

 

Sorted:biggrin:
