  1. And that is what we pay our taxes for! A local guy had a break in at his yard, a few hundred grands worth of tractor units and trailers there but didn't get pinched, he interrupted them, got the whole thing on video and zero interest from the local police. Sorry to hear of your issues, never good and not made easier by substandard police service - think they should slap "To Serve and Protect" on the side of the police cars, it may remind them what they are there for!
  2. Interesting times, I still don't get this Crypto thing.....well I do get how it works and what it is for but the increase in value reminds me of the Dot Com boom....and bust. Just don't invest all your savings in it....just saying!
  3. Yes it does but is a different design and is less likely to come off. The early 201s were utter shyte and need a good going over to shake them up and get them going. Not that expensive but worth doing.
  4. You won't see the impulse line from taking the carb off - see my original post .....it is UNDER the air box and comes out of the top cover that is part of the fuel tank and locates to the bottom of the air box.
  5. Sleep is for wimps, rest is what happens when you die
  6. And that is why I asked the question - most likely the impulse line has been pulled off (tube just under the air box on the starter side) but is possible you have split or dislodged the manifold. Check it out, don't be tempted to run it, you will kill it!
  7. Most of my customers love their saws that much they don't like stopping them
  8. Have answered the PM, a few possible faults and I would like to add that I don't believe my porting may have caused this
  9. Was the idle OK directly after the drop? Have you changed the carb settings since dropping it? If you take the air filter off, is the choke fully open with the choke in the OFF position?
  10. And I've PMed you....must stop meeting like this
  11. As he says, no carb condition will cause a backfire as the backfire is caused by the saw firing once the piston has cleared TDC. Husqvarna coils can be a bit weird with how they are set with two of the metal laminates being close to the coil and the other being a fair way from the coil. Without checking, the 372 lower two should be close and set to the magnet and the upper one should be a way off the coil. Even if this was out, it would cause an uneven idle but very unlikely to cause a backfire.
  12. it won't be a 372 but possibly give a standard 357 a good run for it's money!
  13. Not with this model, what's the worse that can happen
  14. Sounds like the coil is buggered if the flywheel key is intact and the flywheel and gap are OK. I tend to swerve AM coils as they are hit and miss! It doesn't sound like this one will run as it is, not if it is backfiring. I could tell you how to measure the ignition timing but would get a virtual glaze of the eyes and send everyone to bed early!
  15. Better be OK for burning, got half a log store full of it for next year!
  16. Nope, it is the German way of saying AV mount. Not sure I will take up the description of Ring Puffer in my business, may attract some undesirables......there again, I get all sorts knocking on my door By the way....what is a butt plug some sort of gardening implement?
  17. but not a - gigot d'agneau that wouldn't fit!

    560xp problem

    13,500rpm Max on that saw, would try 12,000 - 12,500rpm until it is bedded in a bit and then up it to 13,000. It will speed up as the cylinder and bearings run in so keep an eye on it.
  19. It is an Annular Buffer or Ring Puffer in German.....better not ask for one of those eh
  20. Part 1135 791 2800 or you could try asking for a Butoir annulaire

    560xp problem

    And don't I know it, nothing changes, dunk it in the village pond 20 times, drag it through the local pile of cow shyte and then.....give it to Steve On the Hutzl - rev it flat out, turn the H screw out until it sounds really flubby and turn in until your trained earreckons it sounds about right - don't use a hammer

    560xp problem

    And so it goes on.....thought I had said goodbye to his saws when he moved well up north but the bugger still sends them in Not seen the Hutzl 660 yet though!
  23. That's good, glad it is still putting in the work!
  24. Good, glad it worked out. Is that 660 still bopping - that was a few years ago!
  25. TBH, the cost of doing the work probably outweighs the advantage and will be a large percentage of the new cost of the blower. The Echo blower probably has a CAT in the exhaust, drill it to bypass the CAT and retune the carb - should get it going better.
