Husky 42 problems

[spudulike]

Guess I should come clean with what I use - rubber from wellington boots with holes punched in it to match carb and exhaust mounting hole pitches:thumbup:

 

Nice and soft and works well with a smear of grease on it - just fit it between the exhaust and cylinder or carb and manifold!

 

The wife is still wondering what happened to her right wellie - we never found it:blushing:

I use gardenkits way. Metal plates with rubber gaskets. And an old sealed up carb ground down.

Seals - generally I use Greenstripe - if any sponsors can help then please chime in - I just use what I find convenient:thumbup:

 

Here is the IPL - http://www.husqvarna.com/ddoc/HUSI/HUSI1991_AAaa/HUSI1991_AAaa_I9100011_.pdf

 

There is a circular carb boot that can go hard and a smaller impulse rubber insert that often cracks - Garden Kit has a nice photo that he likes to air every now and then.Go on GK, you know you want to:lol:

 

The seal pullers - genuine Stihl, got them off ebay for half price - full price is around £100:blushing: oh eck - that,s a lot of wonga.

 

SORTED:thumbup: - I'll save the crank seals for another saw - the impulse rubber insert was the culpit. Runs a dream now - after first f..up when i refitted eveything and managed to pinch the new fuel line under the white plastic carb mounting plate - no fuel.

 

Cheers spud and barrie for the diagnosis and rich and co for the other tips

 

Appreciated

Saws finally back and all seems good, didn't charge any extra for repair, but didn't say what they did either. after a quick look it seems they have replaced carb boot. And for them sorting the problem to my mates satisfaction there reward is that he just bought a new husky off them, despite the fact he could have got it all of £20 cheaper at a larger non local dealer. Sometimes local dealers can get there prices low enough that when you include the after sales service it's a no brainer

Right on. Now get it ported
