Good luck on both counts, most of the ones floating around for sale are wearing cheap Chinese parts and unlike this bloody Chinese virus, the parts don't last long!

Walnut and Sweet Chestnut leaves are sort of similar although the nuts are obviously not. He may have just checked the leaf. Walnut bark is much smoother than that so not Walnut!

Mad Max - the first one and The Italian Job.....for the petrol heads!

Sounds like fuel starvation so split fuel line, clogged fuel filter or blocked carb gauze strainer. It may just need a tweak on the H screw to make it a bit richer.

Well spotted Stubby, no flies on you
-
That's different!

Sounds like the oiler hole in the bar doesn't line up with the oiler channel. The bar should have a small separate oiler hole around 3mm from the edge of the bar and not oil through the larger chain tensioner holes like some do. Check the oiler hole, if present, to make sure it isn't blocked. Also, make sure the oil pump is turned up to max to see if this has an effect.

Bugger the chain, what about the stress on the clutch side crank bearing, it is always the bearing or seal on this side that goes! Hopefully a day or twos use hasn't messed it up.
-
All three saws now gone and all paid for, many thanks for the interest.
-
From a maintenance side, you don't want the oil to absorb water or to dry when left for a long time. The results are not nice!
-
Yes, no problem, looks to be a decent one, all original.

Advice on opening an electric Husky topper T536 LiXP
spudulike replied to Mike F's topic in Maintenance help
Took one apart once, just like working on a hairdryer. It is funny but these electric saws have no soul whereas petrol ones seem to have a life, soul and character.....or is it just me? -
You couldn't make it up. The old adage is a fool and their money are easily parted and that just runs and runs!
-
2007...bloody hell, just get on with it if it hasn't disintegrated in to rust by the time you get your arse in to gear.
-
When my customers hear me say "I would bin your regular maintenance guy as he doesn't seem to be doing too much". What I am actually saying is "My oh my, this saw is * years old and it looks like it has never been cleaned, this is going to be fun What I am thinking is "I am semi retired and can do without this guy sending in worn out, abused, shitty, crap covered pieces of turd and how can I tell him this politely"!!!!!!

Is this the truck load from a year or so ago If anything happens on the 357, I will let you know....not sure about that truckload though!!
-
I am thinking Mendiplogs has moved to the US!
-
You haven't lived until you have got a face full of linseed, dirt and woodchip straight in your face at 9 in the morning. I think I may chuck this in!
-
Depends on too many variables. The state of the air filter will make a big difference as I have seen a few now with damaged filters take out the cylinder just through abrasive wood dust going in to the engine. I have seen 560s with 350 hrs in good state and ones with 95 hrs being wrecks. I think the average operators maintenance is to service the saw when it fails or blows up rather than something that is done regularly to improve the longevity and reliability of a tool for making a living with.
-
Both the 346s are paid for and one already with the new owner. I have had an offer on the 357 and accepted, just need to meet and shake on the deal. Good to help out and thanks for the interest.
-
No, he will ask you what the wood is to which you answer Lignum Vitae or some other exotic wood that he won't have a setting for!

It was a lorry accident, he was driving a truck and it tipped over and that was it, game over. I don't know the exact circumstances, all I know was that he was a decent fella and am trying to help his wife get a fair market price for the saws that meant a lot to him. Sometimes people can be a bit economical with true market value when they sniff a bargain so am softening that for her. Going well so far, the "special one"(346XP ported) has gone out today, paid in full, The 346XPG is waiting on one member to clarify if he wants to proceed (got until 9.00 tonight) otherwise, I have PMed the 2nd in line. The 357XPG is possibly being sold to a local fella whom I think I know, just need a sensible price from him and a handshake.
-
Had a fair bit of interest, just waiting on one fella for a final decision and if that falls through, another is in line and sounds like a local guy is interested in the 357, just need an offer from him. Looking good so far.

14" on the 357 and it measures 12" on the 346 but may be a 13"!
