Yup and a heck of a lot of compression!

They are a bit, was using my 357 the other day, had a lot done to it and it is mad fast.

If you are thinking about cleaning bio oil off cylinders, forget it. Best get a 1-2 litre heated tank with about 100w. Useful for cleaning carbs but little else to do with chainsaws. I have had clock movements in mine. The little ones are OK for jewellery but would get a better one if you are using it for saws. Simple test is to see if the US will blow holes in thin foil.

I like No 5, cut a suitable perch to sit on whilst cutting off another bit.

Christmas in front of a wood burner :)
spudulike replied to BowlandStoves's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
We light ours around 4.00 and keep it going to bed time. If Christmas is cold then it will get lit first thing, love the log burner, only small but works really well, lovely heat, nothing like it. Got around 3 years of wood out the front but it needs cutting up.....anyone have a chainsaw -
Finished off another two MS200Ts today and then ported a 372 that had gone pop after repair by A N Other. All tests were good but bounced off the rev limiter when flat out so wound it down to under 13,000rpm to keep it safe especially after fitting a new piston. Should pull like a train once it has been run in a little.

Ding dong!

Unfortunately there are a lot of "special" people in villages and some need to be reminded that the countryside has been around a lot longer then them! They seem to come out of well paid London jobs and don't quite understand why all the serfs the village shouldn't doff their caps to them.

The woman was probably some nobby type that didn't like being told what to do although she was trespassing as were her dogs and your mate had a legitimate gun and right to be on his own property. I would guess no one who has any interest in dogs would shoot one with an air rifle anyway as it would be almost impossible to do anything apart from wound it and it is always the owners who are the real issue! Hope the police get to the truth and she gets nicked assuming the version we got was factual....not doubting you Andy but you know how these stories can get embellished!

Caught one in a mole trap once, thought the nest entrance was a mole trap and got one of the buggers in it.
-
Praise the Lord, glad it is now OK, probably the carb cleaner sorted the check valve - glad it worked out the easy way!
-
Trying your mates one does sound like a simpler option to me, I am guessing not many have changed check valves in their time!
-
You are entering an area where not too many techs get anywhere close to going and that worries me as I don't know your abilities. You may be better trying to fit another known good carb to your saw to prove the issue is the carb and not something else. The check valve is where I said it was before!
-
Wrench the Low screw one upwards and drill the H screw peg - not that easy but not too bad....you sure you want to?
-
Glad the compression is where it needs to be tbh.
-
I didn't take it that way and know the industry is in a state of flux with new technologies coming in to counteract the emission laws and the OEMs getting more and more protective over their industry and is a shame they don't train their people in a better way but guess with many it is learning because they are TOLD to rather than WANTING to.....big difference! Personally, I will be OK whatever occurs and this latest chapter in my life, doing what I do is an interesting one.

No offence seeing it is Christmas!

Turns out I was reading the inside of the gun son which is mpa, outside is psi and it has around 160-170 psi Oh dear, could you change your username to T*at
-
I like O Holy Night and Come O come Emmanuel at this time of year but if we have to bring it down, I quite like this when it came out....
-
Mmmm, only changed a handful of carbs over the last few years as I tend to fix them....strange that. I reckon you have solved it as a blocked gauze strainer will lean the saw down giving lack of power and poor idle.
-
It will help but it must have been running lean rather than rich!!! Make sure you flush your fuel tank and check your fuel can as they probably have a bit of chip inside them! Reckon it will be fine now!
-
I like my X27 coz I am a bit lanky but do find a ported saw gets through the knotty bits rather well and in spring time, the noodles give the birds some nesting material!
-
Seeing as I started my business to ease me in to an early retirement and since then have had enough work for close on seven days a week I am not approaching your "big problem" but mu success is a direct reflection on how people round here view the local dealer service. Time will tell and am not that deluded to not realise the impact the battery powered kit and fuel injected atotune kit will have on non franchised outfits that don't sell new kit.

Tis the time of year,where people steal, we lose our cheer
spudulike replied to JamesSkingley's topic in General chat
Looks like Cash Convertors didn't know what the kit was or offer anything for it! -
It is pretty obvious that OEMs want to just have their dealers doing the work on their machines judging by their reluctance on releasing IPLs, making their autotune devices unavailable to end users or non franchised companies etc etc. Most of the guys near me can't wait 3 months while the local dealer sits on their machines and then find they haven't been touched. Better to have a bloke in a shed who is focused on getting it back, working correctly and in a timely manner than a dealer prioritising all his better staff on the big stuff and putting the inexperienced on the hand tools!
