No Jon, not got a vid but did one two weeks ago and the owner is very happy. I have also finished mine at long last :thumbup:
-
They also can't spell or pronounce aluminium and call trousers pants........and???? As I said - if using one raises the revs, it flows better....simple!
-
Not done one to date but there is usually something that can be done with most saws!
-
Mrs T sorted the debacle of the previous Labour Government and did some good....and some bad stuff but generally the country needed a damn good shake up. Mr B purchased votes by giving the countrys wealth to the people most likely to vote Labour - great plan until the money ran out:sneaky2:

Just had a conversation with a guy whom I had ported his MS150. He had been up a tree doing some heavy dismantling up to 10" diameter. He said he would have normally gone up to an M200 or more in the tree with the added weight and fatigue of using a heavier saw plus the job would have also taken longer. He managed the whole job with the MS150, did it in a shorter time, felt less fatigued it cut up to 10" full bar length with no bogging and made the job easier. It sort of sums up what it is about.

Simple test, take a clean standard filter, put it on your saw and tach it to see max revs. Do the same with the K&N and the one with the fastest revs, flows the most air. I have seen many saws in for porting and the state of the majority of air filters is pretty clogged up with shyte, some shockingly so. A simple modification is to clean the air filter - won't cost you anything either! I think the difference will be negligible.

Its an option, another is that Gardenkit is down near Exeter and he knows his stuff! Just depends on how good your local outfit is in cost and expertise.

My perception is that "right to light" isn't a legal reason to take a tree down - the neighbours have a right to take off branches and cut out roots that go accross the boundary but if they make the tree unsafe, it will be their liabillity. If the tree causes blocked gutters etc then the neighbour has a right to claim costs from the owner. Thats about all I know - not sure if it is still about but there was a good forum called "Garden Law" that helped me in a similar case many years ago!

Just don't swallow:blushing:

Sort of correct but when the going is good, you make store for when the going is tough, Labour has a tendency to blow it all by giving it away to make people vote for them.....ah, and letting the world and his wife know you are about to sell a whopping lump of national gold reserve is a surefire way of collapsing the market BEFORE you sell......now that was stupidity and cost the country a fortune! When we needed money in the bank, money we should have had with the sound economic conditions through most of the last Labour Government (some may argue they were down to the previous government), we had nothing to bail us out of trouble:thumbdown: No government suits me overall but Labour......does Ed Rubberband and Ed Ballsup really inspire anyone with confidence.........?

That will be the later 50cc Silverside then, nice machines:thumbup:
-
The 45cc version had no decomp valve, the later 50cc version had one, the 45cc one had no carb priming bubble, the later one did, the 50cc one has a silver side cover, the older 45cc one was orange. The exhaust on the older 45cc model had a front exiting exhaust with a baffle the later version was on the top of the exhaust with no baffle. The fuel line will typically fail where it fits through the wall of the fuel tank, if you block one end, you can use a pressure gauge to check it - you can suck on it but it is less accurate if the hole is small! I had assumed it was a 50cc one but the jury is out on that one!
-
Possible air leak in the boot or sticking decomp valve. Also possible the carb internal gauze strainer is blocked or the fuel line has a hole in it!
-
I have lived through two Labour governments, both ended in bankrupting the country and leaving the following Conservative government to sort out all the issues - who should I vote for:confused1:
-
Just caught up Barrie, "You have a woman’s hand, milord! I’ll wager these dainty pinkies never weighed anchor in a storm..":lol: I've seen you, I am sure you can lift a 395XP with one hand, you didn't look like a wall flower to me:lol: I also use a screwdriver tapped in behind the flywheel but also have a nifty selection of pullers:thumbup:
-
Just read through my porting thread and it will give you a good idea of what it is all about, also some more on my "Whats on your bench thread" until I decided to split repairs and porting in to two threads! It is like marmite:thumbup:
-
Mmmm, I gather those woods are full of dodgy dudes:lol: Had your mate Jonnie round here saying his saw wasn't oiling, found the tank was bone dry........after stripping the oil pump:001_rolleyes: I was convinced you had sent him round:lol:
-
Isn't there a local guy who is good with engines that you can call on....... Good luck with it - spark, fuel, compression those are the things it should have:001_tt2:
-
Well I am wondering if it may actually work, not sure if a vortex of air would work better than a smooth flow.....interesting:sneaky2:
-
I could name names but am too much of a gent:sneaky2:
-
It is probably an older handle/fuel tank that has had the later and much better carb fitted. The air filter is also better than those wire mesh ones!

This weekend, I have been working on a MS200T that came in from a guy in Norway. It has been running on an Alkylate fuel - I found this out when I pulled the fuel pipe off and got a blast of fuel right in my face - fortunately I was wearing safety specs that saved me getting it in my eyes. I have to say that I am impressed with how clean the cylinder internals are, the piston was also in nice condition, the inner crankcase was also bright and shiny, no discolouration on the paint or piston ring blow-by. I replaced a seal and no carbon under that either - looks like there is a lot of truth in using this fuel...just saying:thumbup:
-
I would say that this is to allow for the rubber grommet fitted to the latter carbs - has the carb diaphragm cover got a round connector on it that the air filter pushes on to? If it has, this is the latter MS260 carb and filter.
-
I did that with a 395XP late at night once and fell arse over tit as I was on my haunches holding it over the floor and losing the extra weight of the saw sent me backwards and a right old rate:thumbdown: I have two screw in ones, a Stihl one for saws up to MS660 and made my own out of a Gas pipe fitting I taped the centre of for larger saws - cost a couple of quid and fits the MS880s and the older big stuff.
-
Coming along, hope it is a nice runner in the end:thumbup:
