Yes, pretty much the same, around four big skips full, the rest to the house clearance people. It gives me a different perspective on my stuff. My old man went in to care and still says...if you go in to the kitchen, in the last cupboard on the left........ unfortunately, it won't be there any more!
-
Having cleared my 92 year old fathers four bedroom house last year, it made me focus on how much shyte I have in my life and how little I need it.....apart from in the workshop!!!!!
-
OK, around about what I do then, make the carb rich, follow the increase in revs until you see the limiter kick in and sends your tach all over the place......not heard it called a governor but may be your age, I usually refer to it as a limited coil or rev limiter! The way to handle furlough is to work out how much money you are saving by not going out and spending it on alcohol!!! Works for me
-
By "governor" I am taking it you are talking about that brass carb rev limiter screw plug as fitted to my 181SE......the one all tuners blank off as it makes max revs around 8,500rpm and give you a saw that is boggy and useless?? I have never seen one on a 385 or 390 - only done a small number of 385s but just set them to 500rpm of max revs, same as most ported saws I do - they can take more but I like to build in a bit of headroom to my builds so they won't go pop if they see a little air leak of slightly less oil etc. Same as with coil rev limiters - take the carb H screw to just where the limiter starts kicking in.

It damn well looks like it!!!

April was completely dead, May has been a bit mad in the repair sector but I think when peoples employment situation kicks in and the money they have been saving whilst not going out is spent, it will change dramatically and not in a good way. It may be money saved from not going on holiday this year? Sorry to piss on the fireworks but some of the companies going tits up are massive and think it will take a while for us to get back to some sort of "normal" and spending ££££ will slow down dramatically!

Had the first lettuce, trusses forming on the toms, cucumber flowers happening, courgettes and beans in the garden....courgettes got nipped by the frost but the growing tips were fortunately fine. Peppers are putting some growth in now.

Looks like the clutch broke and burst the drum as the drum walls look good with little or no wear!

Performance Power PWR33CCCSA Chainsaw - need sprocket
spudulike replied to Tony Rogers's topic in Chainsaws
Damn, most of these saws blow up before the sprocket wears out and your sprocket HAS worn out!!! -
It doesn't look right to me, I think the drum thingy should be in one piece and that clutch doofer held together with springy things....shall I get my glasses? Not seen one go like that, cracked but not fragmented like that!
-
Delrin.....I think you mean Polyoxymethylene, engineering plastic, used in the manufacture of keyboard keys and the black Delrin changes to white when laser etched. Also used in air rifle components....branded Delrin by Dupont and that's my knowledge finished! God I know some crap!
-
Is that a suggestion of a decent tech in Gloucestershire? Drop it in to the local Church! Perhaps an exorcism!
-
Try ADW on here, he is more Husqvarna but may sort it!
-
Possibly but think the grunion flange is the main element that causes issue of this type!
-
I think his main grunion pin flange is worn
-
No, he doesn't know what saw he has and wants us to fix it!
-
Oh.....those little fiddly wires below where the handle joins the front of the machine can break and cock the machine up - worth checking these as well!
-
It always amazes me how little some know about the kit that powers their income.....It is an Mtronic saw, the three position switch and little cover in front of the oil cap shows this....glad I asked. A few things worth checking, probably the solenoid is the issue.....just find out where it is and change it. Worth checking the gauze strainer in the carb and swapping the spark plug. If it isn't these things then take it in to a decent tech.
-
Wookworths, was that after the Chinese takeover? I don't charge for this either.......we could be the new Morecombe and Wise!
-
Oh God, it is like putting horse crap on your roses, give the site an old Husky and up he pops bearing fruit I think it is "Tomos", having spent many a summer around Croatian marinas I know they make outboards as well. They also made mopeds for Woolworths....and chainsaws
-
The compression gauge is probably for car engines so isn't a valid reading. If the compression is OK, Just check the spark, if that is good then it will be typically fuel filter, fuel line or carb issues. You could try the carb off the one that runs!
-
Looks like a Husqvarna L65. Some were made in Sweden, some in Yugoslavia as was. Don't leave it running near anything dry that can catch fire as the exhaust blows downwards on to your dry grass that then catches fire.....interesting design.
-
Glad you sorted it, these small plugs appear to be less reliable than the 14mm ones, catches me out now and then!
-
Is this the Mtronic saw or the manual tune model? The one Essex is talking about is the manual tune model. Was it ever working in your ownership?
-
135psi is very low, what compression gauge are you using? 150+ is more typical on small saws.
