18 stoner

Rich, it wont vacuum from the bulb end, with or without the tank pick up on, so i tried blowing from tank end to see if it would reach the bulb, but nothing. Ive now removed the carb, and all pipework and tank filters are clear. The bulb appears to be working fine too, but no way can I vac, or pressure either inlet or bulb side of carb. Hope that's a little clearer.

Ok, done some checking. The pipes appear to be in right way round. Ive tried blowing from tank filter towards carb, with bulb pipes off and no fuel comes through. Appears there is a blockage in the carb as it cannot be drawn in(as the bulb would do) or blown in from the input side. For you Monkey, it did have a refurb kit fitted. Starting to wonder if it looks like a carb:confused1:

That was fast you two! Thats the first thing on my list then:thumbup1:

Hoping someone can help me out with this one! I have a MS192t that was running fine, was left on the shelf for a month or so, then wouldnt run up properly. As my dealer had just sorted out a 200t of mine very well, I thought I'd pass it over to them rather than me having a go and struggling along. After two full days of the carb being in the sonic cleaner, replacing all fuel lines, input line, primer bulb, full carb kit and many hours building and re stripping it, its no different. The saw has also been fully pressure & vacuum and compression tested. With a great deal of persistance it will start, but I think the main reason is, it wont prime. Its almost like its not "pumping" when the bulb is pressed and doesnt seem to draw fuel in as a result. The next step the workshop suggested was to fit a new carb, but to be honest at £100 +VAT, this is likely to make it uneconomical to repair, given the time and parts already put into it. I've collected it from the workshop now and thinking of getting into it myself. So over to you guys, if you can offer any help or info I'd appreciate it. I guess Im hoping there's something they have missed and would be an easy cure, but open to any suggestions! .

It should never of been used for stump treatments in the first place, but then again, I may sound like I'm repeating myself.

Had one of the first ones that came out, I think it was something like 2003 model. Only a month ago it developed its first running problems. Turns out to be in need of a carb, but importing one from the US may mean its terminal:bawling: Mine was actually muffler modded from new and never put a foot wrong, being used mainly for pruning works, but very capably of dismantles too. Not sure there are many down sides to the saw IME, you may want to stick some tape around the air intake box to stop the cover falling off (due to the silly screw getting caught on twigs, unlike the 200 version), but other than that, ENJOY! On a selfish note, can you still buy new ones over there? .

Very good point. I'm one of the fortunate ones at the moment, in having a couple of good running 200's. However, my little 192t appears to be on its death bed, so contemplating its replacement at the moment. Sounds like the 201 would be good, but I'd rather spend that sort of money on something that will live upto its name. Finding another 192t will be difficult and the jury is still out on the 150, let alone difficulty getting the t version of that little beast! Mmmm, Im starting to think the same way Adam, you never know, husky may decide to launch their new saw at the next APF. Is it possible to get de ja vous about a de ja vous moment? I wonder if there are some better than others Huck, the opinions seem to vary widely still on this saw?

That decription alone has now made my mind up for definate. I will NOT be buying one! If these saws, once "bedded in" and "running fine" struggle with 6-8" diameter stuff, they obviously arent worth the bother!

Very nice, sure is great when you can get the landy on the clients front lawn. Not sure they will be able to appreciate the view any better from inside the house though:001_rolleyes:

Huck, sounds worse than it is I guess, its got a bad side cover(starter side) and recently wouldnt run right. Turns out to be carb, but only option is to import from US and could take upto 6 weeks. After cost, and fitting Ive been quoted £180 + VAT for the works to rebuild this way round. As you point out Mike the bits are hard to come by over here, unless they are the ones shared with the MS192. Turns out the carb is not universal between the saws:blushing: hence my little request. This little saw has been invaluable over the years never missing a beat. It has been used and almost abused after being modded from new. It only started playing up following being left unused for a few weeks. 3 very long sonic cleans and a full carb kit later, its still no different. Would be a shame to give up on this great little saw.

As title, I need a couple of parts for my 192t, so if anyone happens to have a trashed one, or parts including carb, handle, panels etc, I'd be interested.

Pete, I've "cleared my cashe" (thanks for the link garden kit:thumbup1:) and things seem much better now. Not sure it will help everyone, but its sorted mine and the site is superfast now too:thumbup:

I'd love to cure the problem, it sounds very simple. That's if I understood what you are on about, clearing cashe? Lost mate.

Been getting a combination of these since yesterday around 6pm. Basically haven't been able to read any new posts on a thread Ive previously posted on since then.

Mmmm, I have to say I'm in agreement here Chris. Very sorry to say Matt. Going by the length of time they had the truck, it should have been an A1 job done, but with the list of return jobs to sort, I'd not be happy. I've done my own re-chassis, and will admit I stuck the loom on the outside of the leg, but I will admit to being a numb handed tree surgeon, not a mechanic. My V8 when finished had no further jobs to be done either, and cost me a total of £600 for the galv chassis. It does lead me to wonder Matt, if they are a general garage, that although may be very good at their job, have not done too many landy rebulids? Could be jumping the gun totally here, but paying what you did it should have been a much better finish.

Very sorry, sounds like I offended you:blushing: It was my understanding that when the 300 range of huskys came out, the 265 and 272 would become 365 and 372 respectively. The 357 that came out was said to be too close to the 365 and maybe in competition in sales terms, so the xp was never put on the 365, it was put into the semi pro range although still having the pro pedigree. I may be wrong though, as I generally know very little of what Im waffling about:001_rolleyes:

Yep, sure is Steve, 2 cubic meters. Not 2 meters cubed

Get you now, I do believe there was one of the 365's that the 372 pot wouldnt fit. Could be due to this, but cant be much more help. You do have a point about the bigger bar thing though, these older design machines will fare better than the 560. I run a 560 with 18" .325, and a 372 with 20" 3/8. The 372 would easily take a 28" bar, whereas, the 560 is likely to be topping out at 20". I know they're not direct comparisons, but hope you get the jist.

The 365 is actually an XP saw, just not branded as such. Same saw as the 372xp, just smaller pot. Awsome saw anyhow, but have you thought of the 560xp?

That tree untouched is likely to still be standing, when all those reading this thread have passed away. Then again, as a tree surgeon you could advise an overall crown reduction to reduce sail effect and risk of catastrophic failure close to a publically accessible place, draw up an intensive management schedule where the tree will need to be inspected via climbing annually, and eventually fell it in 5 or 6 years due to the, by then extra levels of caution imposed by insurance companies, training colleges and the media. On a serious note, its amazing what a tree can do if its left to its own devices, especially oak.

Did mine around 12 years ago and its still not perfect. Ive learned to live with it I guess, but that shouldn't be so. The thing I did wrong was pushing it too early, I was told to take it easy but didnt. That is what they say stopped it healing fully. Take my case as one to follow and take it steady getting back into it, you're a long time living with it otherwise!

Got the t-shirt too:thumbdown: .

That really aint too bad then:thumbup1: I really must get mine over a bridge again:blushing:
