Hi to everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm after some advice regarding where I can get a new air filter for a husqvarna 254xp ?

 

Thanks in advance.

If you take ADWs part number, put it in to Google, it will list possible online dealers selling the part. Mowersonline.co.uk tend to be around the cheapest or just use your local dealer if you want to purchase locally.

Over the last week, I have had a bevy of MS460s in for fixing, saws seem to come along in groups of the same model - strange!

 

This one is in and was purchased second-hand by the owner and never serviced in many years until......it stopped:sneaky2:

 

Got to the issue relatively quickly, a split impulse line and a bad crank seal letting in air and stopping the saw revving out.

 

Unfortunately, many years of abuse had left it with a multitude of other issues - the top AV mount had failed, probably due to the support washer assembly missing but this had taken out the lower AV as well.

 

The spikes/dogs were missing and the buggered top mount was the obvious reason. I drilled the remaining casing and knocked up a support plate which I have now bolted to the saw.

 

A rough and ready repair but very strong and will support the "Bad Boy" dogs I have ordered.

 

A new seal is fitted, a dual port muffler is to be fitted and a load of other missing/damaged parts!

Ah - you have a keen eye, I found the impulse line was screwed and wanted to see if the seals were shot so took the impulse line off and used a piece of fuel line with a nail stuck up it to seal it off so a pressure/vac test could be done.

 

I always hate finding one bad leak, waiting for a spare, repairing it only to find that there is another one elsewhere and another spare part is required! I don't fall for that one now:thumbup:

 

Yup, Ag engineer, if it works, is strong and will last - who gives a ..........

 

The other option was side cover mounted spikes but that is never a satisfactory fix so got some big aftermarket ones on the way - one for the cover and one for the saw:thumbup:

This 345 (well, 2145) which seemed to have an air leak (thanks Spud for all the air leak tips!).

 

Thought either the dreaded intake plastics/boot or the crank seals.

 

Took the tank off and discovered that there was a bolt MISSING from the cylinder (bottom-up cylinder bolts), and that one of the tiny transfer port 'plates' had snapped in half (presumably as a result of the air leak/vibration caused by the missing bolt).

 

Surprising! I've read about the bolts coming loose from the cylinders on the 340 and 345, but not dropping out!

 

Cylinder is mercifully fine, but piston not so good.

Ah, that looks familiar!
