It is probably a Husqvarna 66.....that'll learn you

Quite likely but fear we may never know. I am pondering if he had a Robot-wars robot back in the day.....Perhaps they left it for two months and then it wouldn't start Firestorm | Robot Wars Wiki | Fandom ROBOTWARS.FANDOM.COM Firestorm (styled as FireStorm on the robot's logo and website) was the name given to a series of robots that were entered on the British TV show Robot Wars. Firestorm fought in every series...

Also check for water in the fuel....worth a punt.

204 views and no interest - do you want this saw sorted or are you just teasing us.....you minx

Ah, mine was exactly the same. If memory serves me right, I think I swapped the pump over with one off a scrapper and all was good but not used it in years. Just work it through and get to the end.

133 views and no confirmation on if this is a Stihl or Husqvarna..terrible😉

I must have missed your post. £80 if it is a 066 Stihl................... Anyway....is this and 066 Stihl or Husqvarna 66? As far as "Not Cutting"....what happens....does the saw just die, bog or anything else? If you hold the throttle open without cutting, does the saw rev out fine or die? It may be that in the period you left the saw, a bit of dust in the carb gauze strainer dried up and pretty much blocked the thing. Was the saw working 100% right up to the last second of use before laying up or is this the old ebay...seize in a shed thing.

OOhhh, that looks a nice one. Nothing like a face full of chainsaw shyte to make you smile...not!!

I am glad with that, it must have been...what...8 years ago? At least I am good for something I will leave it on that positive note!

Your choice then but as I said earlier, a windowed piston will have better flow characteristics.

Mostly a business tool for networking with individuals working for other companies so you can better your employment or gauge anothers background if you are meeting for the first time to sell or purchase. Not really a platform to gain contracts from but more to see the background of someone you may be negotiating with.

And big fat lazy dirty pigeons....sky rats! Can we do fish now👍

It certainly is amazing, that we can agree on. Hope the Komatsu is still going strong.

Very difficult to tell without seeing if the transfers are open on the cylinder with the piston with no windows but the windowed version looks more like the original part and would be my choice.

Of course it is true but this article is leaving out key facts that have led to the statement being true just for superficial political gain rather than being an unbiased review. £140 billion or so was spent by the incumbent government to support the UK population and this needs paying back in the real world. I just hate trash journalism like this... right? Can we do religion tomorrow night?

Your original post stated that "the public would be worse of at the end of this parliamentary term for the first time in modern history". I was merely putting forward two good contributing factors as to why this would be the case and why the writer of this article is just going for a dramatic headline.

TBH, having seen that many budgets, they have stopped being of interest to me.....smoke and mirrors each time to kid you you are better off when all the time, you are being done. Better off avoiding the news as it is soooooo depressing!

Ah 14 years...so that includes the aftermath of the 2008 banking crisis as well. "Daft".....I often act like an idiot but it doesn't mean I am one I am not blaming covid for the total mess we are in, I am just stating that there are costs to all that has happened and that it has to be repaid.

I think you have to remember the fact the country has been furloughed at great expense through covid and was heavily subsidised on the cost of fuel due to the Ukraine/Russian war. It is easy to forget and think it was all free money but it is based on Government borrowing and now needs paying back.

Nepias 262XP was the gudgeon pin that wore as was an 064 a few years after. The 064 just had a spare gudgeon pin fitted to repair it. Both were OEM top ends.

You typically have windowed pistons to allow a better flow of fuel/air vapour in to the transfers. Solid walled pistons typically have cylinders where the lower transfers are in the base of the cylinder and not in the cylinder wall - like the MS660 or 395xp etc. I say "typically" as there are exceptions from the likes of Makita/Dolmar.. If you look at the piston, you can see the sidewalls are angled to allow increased flow in to the transfers, no idea why they produced two kits like this but it looks like they are covering two separate OEM parts. I have done a few 268XPs and all have had windowed pistons so I would go with the same.

That is a relatively unusual one. I have seen the gudgeon pin wear and not the piston before...I think Nepias 262XP had that a few years back. It always seemed strange that the pins steel wore rather than the alloy of the piston. I would check out the big end cage to make sure it is OK, fit a new small end or at least inspect it and fit a new Meteor piston, if available. Whilst you are at it....fit a new clutch drum bearing if the drum has a bit of wobble, most don't and I have written of a few machines for worn crank shafts - new ones are ££££. Oh...make sure the missing pin is retrieved and if you can't find it, flush the bottom end out, check inside the muffler and then double check all the transfers and ports for nicks and bruising of the edges.

Oh....this guy tested the two and sorts of backs up my views.... https://opeforum.com/threads/oem-cylinder-shootout-ms200t-vs-020t-round-three-this-time-its-personal.6190/

The only visible difference between the two is that the lower transfer opening is different and the MS200T cylinder has a split transfer which, I believe was to reduce the stacking effect within the transfers and effectively allows both front and rear transfers, to act independently. In reality, the OEM kits give 200psi when new and the gasket is deleted. If you try a saw with a worn OEM or aftermarket 145psi cylinder and then try one with 200psi you immediately notice a much faster spool up time and the immediate attack on the wood is far more urgent. Compare a MS201 to a MS200T and you really see that the MS200T just has that immediate torque in the wood. Anyone that has tried to do timed cuts with these two machines will have found the MS201s need a light initial feed in to get it up to full tilt or it will bog....the MS200T is so nice because it pulls hard from low revs. I was in the position of choosing the Meteor or OEM kit. I get a bit of business discount from L&S so it made the OEM choice the best one for me. The Meteor pistons are the best ones after OEM, they use Caber rings and are proper. I strongly believe their cylinders are Hyway ones, some say they are finished by Meteor...I can't say but my mantra has always been to retain the OEM cylinder whenever possible rather than using other AM options. So...in regards to your situation....my stance would be to...inspect each cylinder and only replace if the cylinder is scored through a circlip coming lose or if the Nikasil plating has come off - usually around the inlet port through not cleaning the air filter. A bit of seize transfer can be removed and would lightly hone the cylinder above the exhaust port as the open transfers make going lower more difficult, and then fit a Meteor piston with OEM circlips just to be sure....they are the best.
