hey guys , last week i was doing a crown reduction on an oak tree, during the job i noticed my top handle saw was not running very wel (kept conking out) and was gettin louder. so wen i finished the job i noticed that the exhaust bolts were both missing. have bought new bolts and washers went to fit the new ones and noticed that 1 of the bolts from the exhaust has snapped in the engine. :-( not happy

 

has anyone got any solutions to my problem because i dont really wanna have to buy a new engine to be honest this machine has cost me quite a bit of money to get right already but has earnt me good money too.

 

cheers lads :-)

Stud extractors. Easy way to do it.

 

If they fail drill it out and re tap the hole.

 

Have to drill in for the extractor anyway.

oh excellent cheers for the advice wil see if my parts guy can help me :-)

I have done a few now, as Rich says, try the stud extractor route and see if that works, don't break the extractor in the hole otherwise it will be a devil to remove being hardened.

 

If the thread is bad then helicoils effect a good repair and if it gets really bad then I have used inserts to good effect - 8mm tapped hole and screw in.

 

Got a few pictures on "whats on by bench" thread - it is best to remove the top handle and fuel tank to get to it!

I am in North Herts, just off the A1m, if you get totally knackered, you can send kit through the post using one of the courier services - usually £10 each way.

 

One tip, bring the piston up to cover the exhaust port and stuff some tissue in the thing before drilling - it may get messy if you dont:blushing:

:lol: could just see the next thread.....

 

Or just remove the pot altogether so its easier to hold or clamp in a vice.

Use a small drill then use a tap & die set
