Word of mouth is the best advertising. Worked for me....a bit too well at times!! Each customer can be your sales rep!!

I feel an experiment coming on?

I have seen a few saws have water in the fuel and it is indeed milky. If you put it in a clear container, the water will drop to the bottom of the container and be pretty obvious. Meths added to the fuel will absorb the water but too much and it is better to strip the carb and flush the tank.

Blower 1 - Check the state of the piston, if a new carb hasn't helped and ASSUMING you know how to adjust it correctly, it is most likely scored. Blower 2 - the key has failed on the flywheel - it has been spun on the crank and has knocked the ignition timing out!

Sometimes innovation works. I once changed the spring rate of a Kawasaki using a garden fork!! I didn't get that from the manual. Did it work? The young lady who rode the bike was happy?

Well we can't all live in ivory towers, some of us have to swill in shyte and sort out all of those shyte issues no one else can sort! I would think most decent techs can use the recoil starter to instantly get a bearing on the state of the piston and bore. I won't mention the MS200t carb? eh!! Most people don't own a good compression gauge - what else can be suggested!!!

I have tennis because the wife wants to watch it....I would prefer to watch that T34 film you were on about!

As a gambling man I would say it is binary and relates to 1971 as this gives you the age to know more than many but what do I know. It will remain a mystery? I like mysteries too!

The poor mans compression gauge!!!
-
Sometimes I wish I hadn't blocked those idiotic threads on covid conspiracy theories....then again!!!!
-
Sounds like the correct action. BTW....71 years or 1971?
-
Damn, did that fella say "Nipple"??????

I think it was Ty Corrigan who removed the filter and I said try the one off the MS200/201 if it fitted!
-
Basically the manufacturers are struggling to make their machines meet the demands of the US EPA and are in a state of flux. Damn...I should have been in PR (Public Relations)!!!!!!

We have a 4.9Kw Stovax Riva, they come in a number of sizes to fit in to typical "Builders Openings", It is an Inset stove and we have run it for 16 years and only replaced one baffle and the rope..once. It is pretty warm and you can feel the benefits throughout the house. I haven't sat around in my undercrackers to date but it does get pretty warm - I guess the room size is circa 14' X 24' or thereabouts. Ventilation is via a 450w subwoofer and opening the window!!! The neighbours haven't complained.....yet!!!

That's strange, I have adjusted BG86s and they have been phillips adjusters. Often another adjuster will push on and fit even if it is the wrong shape. Perhaps the spline, Hex or pacman may work?
-
Horray, he's back, glad it was before I posted another response? Not seen an octagon - what is it on? Only seen the hexagon ones and all the other ones.
-
How about thanking the response...."manners maketh man"!!

OK, the fact it fired means the compression is enough to support combustion. It may be the fuel pump failing the CST will test this. It may just be a bit of fine chip filling the gauze strainer! I am sure the dealer will be right on it!
-
Whats the compression like? Sounds like it has gone pop. These machines seem to knock their pistons out pretty early on. Take the muffler off and take a look up the exhaust port and bring the piston up so you can see the ring and skirt - it may have some scoring on it. These machines also don't show a lot of fuel on the plug, a seizure can cause a dry plug as can a BIG air leak but am not going to go in to the technicalities as to why!

Dirko sealant for a clamshell crankcase? (MS250)
spudulike replied to Chain-sore's topic in Chainsaws
Hylomar was the approved liquid gasket for Honda horizontally split fours in my day. I use Carplan Red Instant Gasket as it has a decent temp range but many products will do the job in the same way. -
Well.....I thought I would read the instructions to my replacement security light.....typically, after fitting it. I am glad I fitted it as described!!!! The rest of the instructions were equally useful!!!
-
Yup, that's the reason!

Looks like a Felco clone but Bahco do make some decent kit for a bit less £££
