What's on your bench today?

Reckon you stuffed the stop through the exhaust port if it was the plastic dog bone Stihl one! You are supposed to jam it between the piston and the top of the cylinder:001_rolleyes:

 

Rope down the plug hole and a quick blow with a hard mallet on a screw driver using the cutouts in the clutch usually does it.

 

You should have run it round:001_rolleyes:

 

It was right at the top but still snapped both ends ... Last time it ate the cord as well !

Spud just a quick question I've got an old partner saw I'm needing to sort so I can give to my mate as a firewood saw but think it needs a new brake band any ideas on the best place to source one?

Difficult this one, find out the saw part number and post it, hopefully a Jonsered or Husky part may be compatible as they were all part of Electrolux at one stage.

Well it looks like we hit the 30,000 reads of this thread, thanks for all the interest, hope it has been of some use and educated a few would be mechanics:thumbup:

 

Been out cutting some wood with the ported 357XP. I am tuning it at 13,500rpm so it can be run in a bit before I get it up to around 14,500rpm.

 

As I brought the saw up to 13,500, it was amazing how much it was fourstroking at 13,500rpm, these saws usually tune up at around 13,500 with the max of 14,000rpm but at 13,500rpm it still has a way to go before it is at it's top end of tune. I reckon it will be around 14,500 before the fourstroking clears in the cut. The plug is very dark brown which backs this up.

 

Compression has settled at 180psi which is nice

 

Looking good for the new owner

Hi spud it's a partner 465. The chain brake handle feels like it's clicking on properly so makes me think it's the band that's gone. Any help appreciated
