Oh dear:sneaky2: Think that will be a job for Christmas afternoon after a bottle or two of vino - will be in the mood for it:001_rolleyes:

 

Yes, send it over and I will see what I can do. That cylinder will be mighty tricky so no blame if it turns to brown warm stuff:blushing:

Do you have a video of the 241 yet

 

Well, yes and no. I have a vid, but the bar is so worn, and the metering is off on the carb, it really doesn't do it justice. I just ordered some mtronic carb parts(and am told I am the first person to ever do so - including the stihl dealer themselves). So we'll see how it goes. Spud has been helping me out with the metering as well. Wish us luck. If it fails, we can at least find a way to blame him.

Do you need the piston for the port work ?

At least you didn't do a hard sell on testing this thing with 'Stihl Diagnoostics Computahz" for 50 euro. I don't need to spend 50 euro for them to tell me I need a new carburetor...for only another 199 euro plus 70 installation, and another 50 to test it.

Thanks mate I need to get 1 now

Anyone ever had it where carb screws seem to back out on their own?

 

A carb on on of my 200t's keeps backing the screws out so running rich and being a pain. It is an older 020t carb fitted. Going to put a different carb on but wondered if anyone else got similar problems?

 

Thought a bit of blue tack between screws could help.

try some new springs

As fast as I clear up the saws, more keep flowing in. Just got a 372XPT in for porting and someone else dropping in a Stihl 020AVT on Boxing Day:sneaky2: - it never bloody well stops:lol:

 

Think I should have gone abroad for Christmas:thumbup:

Put an 'AIP' piston in a Stihl 017.

 

Not used AIP before; made in India with very fancy packaging! It's a lovely snug fit and compression is reading 160PSI which is better than I'd hoped for from a non-Meteor aftermarket...
