I would rather work on manky saws than stone cutters, that dust gets everywhere!
-
I sprayed it with a bit of perfume as someone said you would like it, can't remember who! I will need the bar and chain - just get a wine box from your local supermarket or off-licence.
-
Surprised you can manage a 201 with your limp wrist
-
Just responded on the other thread, text me when you have it boxed, will get it set up again and give it a thrash to make sure I have sorted it .
-
How the hell did you know, I blame the poundland shower gel!
-
Send it in again, will get it pressure and vacuum checked then boil the carb and get it reset. I have seen a few of these Echos have some strange carb issues, almost like the carb wasn't quite matched too well with the saw but have also sorted most of the issues one way or another! Text me once boxed and will let you know when to get it in. Probably needs a bit of sushi!

Not being funny, you do flip the choke on and then off to get the saw in to the "fast idle...start" position when starting hot? While on the subject, if you put the choke on, take it off and then open the throttle (not trying to start it), do you get a slight click noise as you pull the throttle? This should be the fast idle clicking off and back to normal idle. Not recommended but it works - if the saw isn't starting when warm or hot, don't give it any more than 3 pulls on full choke, hold the throttle fully open and pull the saw over hard with no decomp, this is a bit "redneck" but it does get the saw going - not one for the rule book though!

I am sorry but I don't think I know who you are, I have no idea what you are talking about and don't know why you should be offended. I was commenting more on people who become experts from seeing a small facet of information on the web rather than actually working through why something is designed in a certain way through fit, form and function and then applying a logical conclusion to repair it. If you want to work on your saws, fill your boots, work on others, work on whatever you wish to, no issue with me, I don't give a monkeys chuff, have a nice life. Move on!
-
There are a lot of "experts" out there armed with their Youtube vids, glad you got it fixed. A saw will run with the spacer gasket on the wrong side of the diaphragm but not that well!
-
Are you using the decomp valve?
-
Not at all. Having drained hundreds of tanks for couriering and using a funnel with a fine gauze strainer in it, I can say the average tank is full of shyte which gets pulped and will end up in the carb one way or another. If I find shyte in the gauze strainer, the tank gets flushed out a few times until clean - doesn't sort the owners can though. Good luck with getting owners to clean their cans!
-
Lack of fuel, you have most likely cocked up the new gasket kit installation! Possibly split fuel line if not!
-
Going back to the original issue, if the hairline crack is in the actual threaded opening the fuel cap screws in to, no repair is likely to work as the fuel cap will keep opening up the crack. Fit a new tank assembly as the best option. Fuel burns and I wouldn't want to be up a tree if the saw catches fire

What's on my bench - my bloody compressor. Started to slow and smell a bit like burning electrics...bugger. It then stopped....damnation. Checked it out, two very worn motor brushes....adapted a couple of washing machine brushes and bingo, it lives again
-
Drilling the holes isn't too bad but with a decent tap cutting in alloy, there should be no need to drill it first as the stripped hole will be pretty much to size. Just get the tap going in as straight as possible when you start to cut the receiving thread.

I tend to be quiet the last 3 days before Christmas!
-
I can hear the forestry guys laughing from here!
-
It may have been an attempt to lighten the saw
-
That's the one - Looks like I know a bit of stuff doesn't it!
-
It is a crank case alignment dowel, there are generally two, one at the front and one to the rear of the con rod case opening. They hold both sides of the cases in perfect alignment rather than the cases moving around on the clearances around the screw holes. Where did you take the engine - Bodgitandscarper Ltd or their main competition Cowboys Incorporated Co?
-
Possible that the needle valve is leaking and the crank was filling with fuel, who knows.
-
Did it turn OK before the flywheel was fitted?
-
It sounds like they did a partial rebuild!
-
Damn right I am too busy, not enough hours in the day Why don't you pull the flywheel and clutch off and then see if the crank turns. If it doesn't, any reasonable business would investigate the issue and sort it if it is their issue. It may be that you haven't set the coil gap correctly, easy to do. Personally, I don't like only doing half the job as this sort of issue can occur and not be your fault but the fault of the owner not setting the machine up as it should be but wouldn't like to say it is one or the other in this case!
