Been on this 088 today, sometimes there isn't a great deal of widening that can be done on the ports but you can gain port size by reshaping the port. Doing this has a similar effect as widening but the port must have a very defined arch shape to begin with and can't be "squared" too much otherwise the rings will snag and smash to top end. Doing this allows the machine to purge the combustion chamber of exhaust gasses faster and means you can reduce blowdown timing as the pressure in the combustion chamber will fall faster and allow a fresh charge of fuel/air in to the chamber earlier. Anyway - the first pic is the interesting one with half the port reshaped and the other half being standard - note the extra size of the modified side of the port. The second photo is the finished port.

He may be single and missing female companionship......damn, did I say that

I reported this twice and have just done it again, there was a day when this would get pulled, what is the point of having a system to report fakes and then leaving them on their system
-
I thought Daniel was just messing, top bloke for pissing off the offending seller on the Bay, bad sellers piss me off having spent the time making sure all I sell is as described! The seller is obviously a cock and feels that because he was done, he can do un to others......cock, cock, cock!

Sounds like you are having issues you shouldn't and should be relatively easy to fix. If you get stuck, send them in but am pretty busy at all times for some reason Entirely up to you what action you take!

Next one up, Stihls big thumper, an 088 with a dodgy oiler and in for porting. First 088 I have done but have done an 084 many years ago. Should be interesting!

Just do a pressure and vacuum test and if OK, work through the fuel system. The 45 degree angle sort of makes it sound like there is crap in the gauze carb strainer and at an angle it clears the issue. It is also possible the fuel line is holed and at 45 degrees, the hole is submerged in fuel thus sealing it. The 346 has a weak clutch side seal and the inlet manifold can split and cause issues - that's just how it rolls!

Damn - law suit I reckon!

A blast from the past!
-
Be thankful it was only a handle - try working on the bottom end - miniscule little bits!

He shoots, he scores and another happy arbtalker.....no worries

I thought it was the best of the two...glad is all OK and happiness shines again!
-
Andys really thumps, the 261 just whines like a nagging woman!

Thanks Andy, glad you are happy...not sure about the "Weiners" though, isn't that American for willy? I am hoping you meant "Winners"

£510 and counting - I guess Darwin had it right! What makes me laugh is the starter rope has worn cut marks around the recoil housing hole where the starter handle is because the insert has come out - so, good starter!!! I once got one of these and two Ryobis for £30......these people must be muppets - Im now selling my Nissan....sorry, my mistake....Ferrari F40 for £500,000 ....any takers It has a sticker on it so it must be real!!!
-
I wasn't sure, his feedback did include something purchased from a garden supplies outlet! Watching it out of interest - saw a MS460 the other day, similar saw different colours though!
-
The general rule is that all MS261s and MS362s that come in get a new sprocket kit. All others get a new rim or a new spur sprocket now and then. I still don't understand why the 261s and 362s eat sprockets - I believe it is a cunning plan by Stihl to make money on their Satan's creations. I think only one 261 escaped my rule in a good number of saws! If the end of the spur gear has indentations then it is time to swap it! The MS261 must be one of the worst sounding saws - the exhaust note goes right through my head!
-
Caveat emptor - buyer beware but these are uneducated types who just see a part number rather than a piece of shyte selling as a decent Pro saw. Can just imagine it coming in to my workshop......I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry!
-
Yup, over £300, I reported it and nothing, not taken down, someone is paying ££££ for a £50 piece of junk

Here we go, yet another fake 395XP - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HUSQVARNA-395XP-CHAINSAW-SHARP-CHAIN-NO-DAMAGE-WORKS-VERY-WELL-BUT-OVER-REVS/173124795872?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 What is up with people - If I stick a Ferrari sticker on my Nissan, would people pay £300k for it.....Dohh!!!
-
Probably a 357 as it is more common, the exhaust doesn't have a top outlet so not a 346 and the pawls are also not capped as a 346 are. Nice saws, cut fast, worth a punt, lots of spares available.

I was around £70 a week in 1982 - what a life, living at home, no responsibility and £10 would give you a good night out plus a plate of grub on the way home!
-
Rakers too low is the most common causes and gives exactly these symptoms as the chain is fighting to cut out too large chip - bit like a wood plane set too deep! Worth trying a new chain as it may have a fair bit of wear in it.

Its a ring puffer!!!

My observation is that a log burner retains the heat and generally heats the fire breast as well as pushing much more heat in to the room. Combustion on a log burner is significantly regulated by controlling the air input with dampers (logs last longer) and it doesn't matter if the logs spit in a log burner so you can light it and go out or to bed etc with much less chance of a fire. Log burners are much easier to light as you can control where the air is inputted. Between the two - log burner every day of the week!
