The fellas in France so probably not.

PM me when you have the info.

If the muffler mod has been done correctly, good gains can be had from this small saw. Just tune it to rev out at around 13,000rpm and all is good. Stuart - is this saw one of the old ones? Look at the serial number above the recoil cover. If it is a sticker then I may have a fix, if it is a laser etched serial then it may just need a carb tune.

Difficult to say but if it was in my hands, I would check the maximum revs and if they were higher than they should be and the high screw is turned fully anti clockwise (I am assuming limit caps are in place) then it is most likely an air leak or an issue with the fuel system. Generally it is easier to check out the fuel system from the fuel filter, fuel line, tank breather and carb then doing a full vac/pressure test but if the fuel system is OK then you would need to test for an air leak and be prepared to sort this out if present and then resetting the carb to correct the maximum revs. Often you can tell an air leak is present from the effects on the low screw adjustment where you have to compensate for the extra air by richening the screws and turning down the idle screw.

BTW, if you are looking at fitting the old piston in this new cylinder, it looks like there is a big gouge above the exhaust port and, if so, you will need a complete new top end. It is unlikely the cylinder will show no damage after this sort of issue.
-
The ring pins should run either side of the inlet port and NOT the exhaust port. You should be able to see the marking on the original piston if the crown is lightly cleaned of carbon. Just look at what you did last time and do the opposite.
-
Very likely, I replaced very few when I was fixing up saws. The odd one was through years of use rather than much else. It is likely the pawl isn't extending outwards as it should when the handle is pulled.
-
Another village litter pick coming up soon, more vodi bottles in the ditches I am sure🙄
-
You put the piston in back to front, the arrow points towards the exhaust port, in your case, it is pointing upward towards the inlet port. All parts are OEM but the ring ends have caught in the exhaust port and smashed the piston up. A little knowledge is dangerous!!

I saw a YouTube vid of a McLaren engine rebuild where the oil pump shaft had failed and was surprised that the engine didn't just stop on a fault code rather than running until it seized. Your ECU should save the code and a decent OBD2 module and app may be enough to help you find the fault. My usual is the 2nd sensor on the CAT failing....got changing that one down to an art! The OBD2 does allow you to reset non safety warnings and will only come up again if the fault is still present. May just be a bit of shyte on a crank sensor or something like that.

Sanatogen and an Ibubrofen chaser may be tops with the elderly.
-
Yes L&S for OEM parts. Check the flywheel inner boss that the pawl contacts with, if it is badly worn or covered in crap.....possible cause. You can fit the double spring retainer and twin pawls as in the MS460 but tbh...it shouldn't be necessary. Double check that the pawl is extending fully when you pull the starter handle slowly....with the cover off otherwise you won't see it🙄
-
Blimey Z1300, that brings back a few memories. Wasn't there a mad Dutch man that would wind one up on the motorway and leap off the back on clogs clinging on to the passenger grab rail on the back. Carl Nyqnvist or something similar,
-
No worries, we have lived through the cold war together so all this shyte is just the modern way of doing the same. The world will be better off without humans on it anyway. Happy days are here again😉...always look on the bright side of life....etc
-
That's alright isn't it, you are keeping someone in employment when you litter the countryside don't you, it is a good thing isn't it...bloody feckers need shooting, who the hell brought these cheesy knobends in to this world and told them so little about how to conduct themselves. We do the village litter-pick and someone round here has a serious addiction to vodka and Redbull judging by the amount of both brands in our ditches!
-
It is not getting better, can't make out where it will end. Been on two walks recently, one we couldn't go any further as two wooden bridges hadn't been repaired for 2.5 years. Again today...a bird hide blocked off with a wooden barrier because the wooden walkway had a few planks missing....great, lets spend £10 on stopping access rather than fixing it so everyone can use it and enjoy it. Not looking good for the future if this is the best we can do.
-
Razor blades were stopped some time ago...that is the double edged safety type. I used to get most of mine off the bay but can't now. -
They used to but not now. Husqvarna now own McCulloch, Jonsered, Gardena, Poulan etc etc and Husqvarna are a stand alone company.
-
OK, good call, just hope you never use a 550XP or 560XP and then realise why these saws are 5 times the cost.
-
But it isn't orange and thought budget wasn't an issue!
-
25cc needing a decomp valve...blimey, try a 1970s McCulloch!
-
Did that fella ever get a chopper for his wood, perhaps a bit of a red herring and never had any intention of getting his dabs on a saw.
-
Coppicing often means revving flat out near max revs rather than at around 9,000 as normal. What sort of oil was it running and was it fresh mix.
-
Just so you know, the software will tell you what the carb is set to on the high and low circuits. If it is running excessively rich on both, it means you probably have an air leak. Some techs using the software may not have worked that out....that is the polite version!!

Ah, Plogs, how I miss him👍
