Very confused, any ideas?

[MATTMOSS]

can you post a pic of the part your after? i may have one kicking about. but it dosnt have a part number on and its deffinately of a stihl hedgecutter, I had a hs60 as my first cutter and it was parted out but cant remember if this part is off it.

 

Thanks for the offer Jamie, but ive have managed to get a brand new one!! last one from old stock from a sihl dealer.

I have got to get a new fuel pipe now and i am going to change the crank seals and it should be sorted.

 

Any avice on changing crank seals ? ive not done that before.

cheers

Problem with this is that it is marked as obsolete and there are no spares available for it.

I need a fuel tank and a filter cover for mine which is sitting on the bench waiting for the long winter evenings so I can fettle it.

I think I have a work round for the leaky fuel tank but the plastic is defeating me at teh moment.

Yes i know parts are hard to come by, but im not counting on getting it going because i need to use it, its just a little learning and tinkering really. and ive spent a bit of time on it already so cant let it beat me.

 

As for yours- there's plenty of stuff you could fix the tank with and im sure ive seen filter coves for sale on ebay - if not give it me for parts

 

good luck

Can remember having the same symptoms with an engine,turned out to be old fuel in the system which had lost its octane rating,plus the carb had a perished diaphragm

Covers are available from the States and the postage is more than I paid for the hedgecutters. As yours is, I just want to play and I dont actually need it.

You know, because it is there sort of thing.
