What's on your bench today?

Can you fit a decomp button to a 298xp

 

That would be damn nice - got one myself and thought it was seized when I tried to pull it over and I am a reasonably big fella.

 

I think I have read that you can drill and fit one but don't know for sure, you would need a decent bit of land on the cylinder wall and that may be the main issue - you try it and let me know if it works:thumbup:

Not sure if I would put Baby Bio or Stihl HP in the fuel - would possibly make a nice garden ornament or door stop.

 

What a minger:lol:

One last picture for today, completely unrelated: -

Quiet weekend, tached up the MS200T and 046 I repaired earlier in the week and did a bit of cutting with them, all was well.

Fixed a couple of 100year old clocks, one going slow and the other stopping, both all OK, bit of plastering and then thought I would give my 181SE a good going over as on the "Boys day out" it was pretty boggy.

 

Found the tank breather was plugged and that was the route cause but you know how it is, one thing leads to another and a mild porting job was on the cards - dropped the base gasket, compression up to 165psi and now fourstrokes heavily at 12,500 which was the saws maximum revs. Tached a little over 12,500 but really need some big wood to test it on and get the thing just right.

 

Not my usual size saw, only purchased it to see what a big saw was like but the thing is in great condition with the machining marks still on the piston.

Be interesting to see how much difference the porting makes on it - Might be up for it on mine too

Shame you are so far up north, you are more than welcome to use it at the next Boys day out to see what you think.

 

Cut a lump of Oak and it was thumping like a good one, needs a bit of a fine tune on the top end but has more go than before - it backfires on starting sometimes - scares the bejesus out of you when it does it:lol:

 

Don't get the chance to use a saw this big ever - bit overkill for my firewood!

[swinny]

Buy a caravan and come up north with a mobile workshop for a few weeks spud
