They arrived today.....sorry.......what else have you got:lol:

Here we go, all fully ported saws that go out of my workshop will now bear a super duper ported label:thumbup: It allegedly gives you 15% extra performance:001_rolleyes:

I braze with silver solder. I got a job lot of rods some time ago. The melting point of the rod is important if using a plumbers type Propane/Butane lamp.

Looks like the remains of a fuel filter and the weight to keep it at the bottom of the tank!

Fancy doing it for a living:sneaky2: Good job!

Yes, now it is clean and hasn't got he handle falling off it:sneaky2:

Just had an Echo come in with one of these WT carbs and fuel was pissing everywhere. Took the carb off and big air leak from the impulse line. Took the pumping diaphragm cover off and found the pumping diaphragm was missing the part that does the pumping so am assuming the gasket is used in another model of carb and had been fitted incorrectly. Fitted a spare gasket etc and the saw is a runner again.

Mmm. I remember you wrestling with a 346, it reminded me of a Jack Russell that has just found a rat and has grabbed it by the neck.....not quite what I am used to:001_rolleyes::lol: Happy days:thumbup:

I would have thought that a man with your engineering prowess Matty, would have had that saw singing by now:001_tongue:

Damn, I have been using yours:blushing: Nice stickers though:thumbup:

Start the saw, let it idle on the floor, hold the handle with one hand and the top of the engine with the other then tug the top handle about. If the engine speed changes with pulling then the impulse line or inlet manifold is split. Check the impulse line (underneath the carb housing on the recoil side) is connected. If this is OK, fill the tank to the top and see if the issue goes away. If it does, look at the fuel filter/line not sitting flat or a split fuel line although the latter isn't common. If the speed of idle changes when the Chain Brake is put on, suspect the crank seals. If the idle isn't even and the machine doesn't like being revved then check the accelerator pump and welch plug. If the saw over revs, probably the H screw needs adjustment, you have an air leak or the high speed check valve is blocked. If it won't idle but revs OK then clean the low speed check valve/jet. If you don't understand what I am talking about, your time is better spent up a tree and your saw needs a holiday to a technicians workshop:sneaky2: it will come back feeling much better and bearing a "Spuds Workshop sticker":thumbup:

It was an Xtorq so not like yours Andy. I was watching the vid I did when I did yours and I deducted that: - 1) I should have chocked up the log:blushing: 2) It is holding bloody high revs in the cut 3) It is a bit rapid on a 20":thumbup: [ame] [/ame]

It is unlikely you will see any residue from a leaking seal so a visual inspection is near useless. You need to seal the crankcase and measure the leakage or at very least, seal it, pressurise it 10psi) and use soapy water!

Well done Wes, glad the beast is running again:thumbup:

No worries Scott:thumbup:

It is all done, I didn't find anything wrong with the saw. I re-read the thread where you were saying you weren't impressed with the power of the saw and checked everything and the whole machine is in very good condition, 100% OEM, fuel line and system 100%, great compression, gave up at 150 as it was a bitch to pull over and would suspect it is close to 190 now! Pic as below, a 20mm stainless pipe straight in to the mufflers first box! Just needs a run up and tach but sounds good:thumbup:

Like a big lump of overcooked gingerbread:sneaky2:

Know what you mean - 5mm drill in a dremmel time and grind off the crap, looks like burnt gingerbread to me and nothing known to man dissolves it:sneaky2:

Aw crap, I hate these minging saws when they are like that. Looks like a bio oil job. I think you can clean that one up:sneaky2: Grrrrr

No worries Andy:thumbup:

What the hell is "Sudderised" ...........a deep clean:confused1:

Spot on, I have seen the area around the cover screw pierce the pumping diaphragm. Use a magnifying glass and a bright light to inspect the diaphragm. It may also be a slight leak around the gasket. Use a little oil around it to seal it and try again!

Not sure, I know he had some health issues but don't know more than that.

From my side all is good, £2m Public Liability Insurance in place, Company servicing labels arrived, business cards arrived, new "Porting" labels on order, first month traded, busier than expected, February looks busy, the wife doing the books and all good so far....enjoying the freedom TBH:thumbup:

Totally agree and is just how info tends to come out in a piecemeal fashion and without the machine in front of you...............
