ms260 not pulling fuel through

[spudulike]

Had it the other way around recently. One of my saws broke so I borrowed an ms180 from my neighbour who is a sheep farmer. Took it to work without looking at it first.

 

It had one of those oregon chains with the added bumper plates, horrible chain and horribly blunt.

The airfilter was dirtier than my doormat (foam/fibre pad filter) it was also not in properly, leaking air past it.

The fuel was nice and brown-ish.

The sealing ring on the fuel-cap was split so it dribbled fuel.

There was only one bar nut.

 

I sorted through the thing, put a new filter, nut and chain on, and gave it a quick clean before I took it back, he hardly believed it was the same saw. :biggrin:Now I have a neighbour who is happy to lend me his stuff when needed and has a saw worth borrowing.

 

Yes - think I am like that in giving the tool a good clean and sharpen before returning it but is a rare occurence that I need to borrow anything.

 

In regards to the 1mm chip under the exhaust port - it is the top part of the port that is critical and does the job of producing compression and port timing so it should be ok as long as it can't snag the rings.

cheers spud, hopefully it'll behave itself for a bit now. I'll just have to watch who I let use it!
