What's on your bench today?

Next up, an MS660, the problem was bad kickback on starting. Gave it a bit of a going over, lots of sawdust under the airfilter:thumbup: I regapped the coil to flywheel which resolved the kickbackand retuned the L screw as it wasn't too easy to start.

 

This saw has had the rubbery chain brake handle problem so brazed on an addition to the exhaust to redirect it away from the handle - will see how that goes.

Last one up before Christmas, a very tidy Dolmar 143, looks old and clean:thumbup:

 

Have been asked to service it so as it has been standing, am doing the vac/pressure test, have cleaned the carb, have fitted a full carb kit and am fittinng a new upper fuel line.

 

Compression is 155psi and the piston/bore is clean.

Looking good Spud, can't wait to get my hands on it and try it out!

You have three options: -

 

OEM Stihl

 

Chinese non OEM

 

Source suitable alternatives

 

Seals are relatively easy to change so it's generally a toss up between the aftermarket ones or original.

 

Try Tesgol (Sawbits) - he generally does full bottom end kits for a tenner!

 

You may be able to get other seals to fut but they don't have the metal surround for support.

Finished off the Dolmar 143 today - started on the eighth pull and all works just fine, turned out very clean - Before and After

[spudulike]

Had a bit of interest when I mentioned I had a Dolmar 123 in decent condition kicking round my workshop - It started in six pulls after being layed up for a couple of years.

 

Here it is in all it's glory - better than I remembered and WOW - what an exhaust:lol:

Happy Christmas to all the guys on this thread, techies and guys with saw problems.

 

Good wishes to all the members I have done work for be it servicing, porting or just getting you out of trouble.

 

Hope all is well in your homes and wishing you all a Happy, Safe and prosperous New Year:thumbup:

I feel Spud may be turning to the "Dark Side":001_smile:

P.S. Get out of the shed, or Santa won't come.
