MS131....do you mean HT131......fancy cutting logs from 15' away, save getting covered in chip
-
And............................???
-
Mmmm, had the same....slim but teeth that looked like a graveyard!

Just checked, you need part 1138 080 1800 and is not the part on the 460 which is 1128 080 1812 so it wont fit. Not sure about Spuddog having a "fair bit of her" sounds like she may be cheap and he is playing around L&S all day long on Stihl parts and now Husqvarna as well!
-
Light, decent AV, decent power, go like a scalded cat when ported!
-
That's a bit of an understatement
-
You could try Milliput, totally weird stuff but works where others fail.

Just post some photos. Pitting on the combustion chamber tends to mean metal fragments have been smashed repeatedly between the piston and squish band but the piston would also have damage in this instance. It is most likely your description may be a bit off and a few photos will clarify. The clutch oil leak - may be fuel oil residue from a badly leaking seal (if black) unless the oil is clean chain oil from other sources.

I think that Husqvarna can't sell the 346 in to the EU but can in to non EU countries. I have looked and on Ebay there is a seller in Turkey and TBH, eBay do protect the buyer - not sure if that is where it came from, just turned up one day looking like a big lump of cheese!

Think this is the little blighter. L&S are a good supplier on many levels and use them wherever I can with no issues - https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/tension-spring-stihl-part-no-1121-160-5501.html

I had a customer send in a newly purchased 346 direct from Turkey for porting. Think it was a bit over £500 (ex porting) but was as it should be and work done as specified!

Expanding circlip pliers work pretty well in removing these clipped top handle covers!

Wes - you sure know how to make friends

You have got to remember that the guys in the UK do a lot of domestic work rather than in the middle of nowhere so having a saw that performs rather than making your ears bleed at 1/2 mile away is the better option...believe me......you are the one that wears spangly dresses and sling-backs at the weekend.....or so your mates say
-
I tend to like clever muffler mods that give you the performance but not the ear bleeding noise some can give. I go subtle on these saws
-
And don't I know it
-
Damn, that's done it, bang goes the easy life, better put those deck chairs and Pimms away [email protected]
-
Probably sales bollocks as we call it......talk to the engineers, get more sense from them
-
Had a sheared wire on a rare MS280 and it ran bloody rich and badly so worth checking if the solenoid and a carb check/clean/rebuild doesn't sort it.
-
Yeah, but what does ADW know Just joking, if he says it is fine then I wouldn't worry as it will be fine!
-
These saws are possessed by the devil, had a machine in, worked fine vertically, did a muffler mod and the idle would die vertically afterwards. I can say that I know what causes it but there appears to be no "Engineered" fix for it but have got a "Heath Robinson" one for it. I also have found what I believe fixes the poor starting and dodgy idle issues - I think it must have taken around 8hrs of work or more to get through this and can say the lazered new ones seem much more stable.

Is that crank an OEM one? Seen this type of carnage on a "Boomerang" MS660 where the owner didn't want an OEM crank in his machine due to cost. Big end detonated in one, the crank sheared in two on the other. Fitted an OEM crank in it, fine for a year and then the pikeys came and pinched it along with most of his other kit. He purchased new kit and not seen him for a year
-
It has the normal alloy Kombi union attachment and most of my customers use the HL135 attachment on it.
-
I live and learn, thought the 3120 was like the MS880 with a larger mount than the next size down.

Check the gauge on a good engine and expect 150psi on 6 pulls and at least 75psi on one pull. If both engines make 75psi then you know the gauge isn't good for small bore engines. You should be able to tell if the engine has a good feel on the recoil or if there is nothing there.
