In light of that - a tach tune to 500rpm below max spec may be wise to make sure the mod doesn't screw with the max revs!

This is all part of the Strato system so leave it in place and just do the transfer covers!

Probably going to be fuel related, the fuel filter position sounds like a good suggestion. If the engine is running rich then fuel and oil can build up in the engine only to swamp the plug when vertical. If it is under warranty, take it back. Echo kit is generally pretty well made and well thought of.....says he with a long reach and 1m trimmer in his personal collection!

Tell you what, give me your £300 and I will send you nothing coz that is what will happen if you buy one of these! And if you get anything, it will be a copy but have only seen the old version 372XP....it was good, a bit like a real one but just not right! The chance of you getting a real saw.......ZERO! Save your cash.

MS200 - 13500 - 13800rpm MS460 - 13200rpm 390XP - 12800rpm I usually tune a modded saw to a little under maximum specified revs, this is usually so they don't come back fried in six months. You can hear the four-stroking on modded saws more easily then standard ones!

Personally you should do yourself a favour and split it for parts!

I use one like this.....

What do you lads get up to when the wife pops out??

Well mine came home once, said "what's that smell", went in the kitchen, opened the oven and pulled out a set of re-painted 066 crankcases:blushing: .......oh bugger:thumbdown: -
The cost of the crank will be high unless you have a donor machine. High is around £265 inc VAT so factor that in before going any further. I have no idea how they managed to snap a rod as they are designed to take a lot of pressure but that is history. Work out the costs of replacement parts and go from there. Depending on how tight the bearings are in the cases and on the crankshaft depends on the pullers/splitters you need. I sometimes get just the crankcases and parts in from customers who are trying to keep costs down. The job can be anything from simple to an absolute bitch. On a relatively new machine it should be that bit easier.

Pull it out, plug it in to a Windows machine and try to format it again. There was a spate of some dodgy SD cards going around where the manufacturers were programming say a 4GB card to read that it was a 32GB or larger and would only fail when your kit tried to write to the sectors over 4GB. Also sellers often make out the cards are super fast and are in reality pretty substandard at best. Ebay and Amazon were rife with them so beware. Mini Tool Partition Wizard is pretty good at accessing them and manipulating partitions but check it does have the stated capacity by using other software to write to each sector or.....purchase from a reputable retailer:sneaky2: That is if you haven't already!

I would say it is to do with the wages stagnating and the house prices going up by circa four times since the late 80s. The trouble is that lenders will lend more, people will borrow more and the prices go up. People say there house is their pension but the trouble is that you still need somewhere to live! Not sure I would want to be in my twenties in this current environment!

Just had to look that up to see if it was correct.....bloody hell, that is some statistic...shows the sad state of the country's wealth. Something is very wrong with the system if this is where we are!!!
-
Some Bio oils dry to form a glue like gunge that is a right bugger to get off engine parts. I hate this stuff and it is almost impossible to get it off a saw once it has hardened. If you use one, make sure it is one that doesn't go solid as I have seen chains welded in to bar rails with the stuff....not good!
-
How droll, how we laughed at that one, ho ho ho:001_rolleyes: If you must know, it contains my bubbly water for pressure test fails so the leaks bubble up:thumbup: I wondered which of you bright sparks would comment:sneaky2: It is nice on Turkey at Chrimbo:thumbup:

Another MS200T, never seen this before. I guess a weekend warrior but both seals were fitted back to front and the impulse line was connected to the crankcase but the other end was flapping in the breeze.
-
If all else fails, locate a screwdriver in the H screw slot and turn it anticlockwise 1/4 turn or as far as it will go if the limiters are fitted. It will help the saw from damaging itself. The 8 pin thinking is that the shorter bar will need less torque due to the length of the bar so fitting an 8 pin gives more chain speed that will make the saw faster in the cut. Fitting an 8 pin on a longer bar would normally make it boggy but on a short bar, the power you have on tap is enough to keep up speed in the cut.

It is devil and deep blue see job with the OEM part being an eye watering £250 and the aftermarket ones at £40. The OEM part makes repair non economical so there you go. Another Chinky one going in and will hopefully last longer. The customer would have made his money back on the previous repair and I did point out the dangers of aftermarket kit....it is all I can do!
-
Check to see if the adjuster screws have plastic limit caps on them, if not, turn the screws in lightly until fully in and then one turn out. If the limiters are on the screws then just turn the H screw out till it stops. I wish people who don't have a clue on adjusting carbs, would stop adjusting them......you can pass this on to your mate:001_rolleyes:

I didn't like to say but it does seem steep but guess others have larger overheads then me. The only reason I said it is that I have a couple of the grey covers in the workshop.....no time though:blushing:

People are always asking how good aftermarket parts are. I had a MS660 in a few months back, the crank and piston were buggered. After discussion with the owner that the crank was around £250 we decided to go aftermarket. It came back in a few days ago and was seized solid. A quick inspection showed the top end was good so pulled it and found the crank had split in two. I am currently splitting the cases and going to try another and see how it goes. Never seen this type of carnage before!

Not a problem, always the owners choice:thumbup:

Get someone to tach it with the tiddy bar on it as if it has been set up on a 24" it may over-rev on the much shorter bar.
