  1. Got an 029 that has been seized, that will make a man of you:lol: need a bit for of cash for it though!
  2. You are not getting enough fuel, sounds like the check valve is blocked - take the H screw out, get some carb cleaner down it and try that.
  3. Had a very testing MS200T today, it started with a crisp rev and idle, went to boggy and crap and then after a good clean, wouldn't idle at all. I pressure and vac tested it, perfect, then the saw started workinng and then not. It seemed the low speed was bad so got to the conclusion, the low speed jets had some crud in them so pulled the welch plug and bingo - a piece of crusty black stuff under the plug. Cleaned and fitted a new one and it now seems OK but time will tell!

    stihl 020

    You forget theat some do not have your mechanical skills, it just seemed logical that the OP had forgotten the fact it spins off clockwise:001_rolleyes:
  5. Is that more of a rocks and rough ground reel? Got a Daiwa SL20 for that type of fishing but not been out for a long while....boys and their toys:001_rolleyes:
  6. Is that beachcasting, done a bit myself, got a couple of Abu Garcia reels - CT3000 Purple and the Gren Mag Elite, fine bits of kit although the CT3000 was always the better caster:thumbup:
  7. Good luck with it, they normally go when the bar snags and the operator gives it a damn good tug to release it:001_rolleyes:

    stihl 020

    It comes off clockwise:001_rolleyes:
  9. Did one of these that had done the same and it just went back together again relatively easy - looks like your shaft is a bit bent though - and the one on the machine:001_tt2:
  10. I am just too polite to mention that:sneaky2:
  11. I believe early 1996 but not substantiated by datasheets!
  12. The 066/MS660 has gone through many transformations - one thing to check is that the saw has the "Poly Flywheel" - that's the plastic one as this would make it a much later 066 with the beefed up crank and retarded ignition for easier starting! The earlier ones had fully aluminium flywheels and a thinner crank and in some occasions, spun the end of the crank off! The older 066s were however supposed to have more aggressive port timing!
  13. I just get the job done Eddie and let the customers do the talking, no need to be an arse about what I do........empty pitchers as the proverb says:lol:
  14. Thanks Eggs, glad it was all good:thumbup:
  15. Parcel2go are a broker like so many out there, they simply get volume prices from companies like TNT, DHL, yodel etc and then offer these out to the punters.......thats us! You are really using TNT in your case so if TNT are half decent then it should be OK:blushing:
  16. Jeffery West do some nice ones:thumbup:
  17. Thanks Matt, glad it is working out and should get stronger as time goes on. No idea what those figures mean, sounds like my blood pressure or lack of it - it is as low as it can go:lol:
  18. I am feeling a bit humbled now, glad you are happy with them, that 372XP was a bit of a beast:thumbup:
  19. Thanks Alan, much appreciated and always glad to help, yours was a horror story but was good in the end, just needed someone to start at the beginning and sign off when all was put to bed:thumbup:
  20. It's never gonna run like that Wes, you need to put it back together again:sneaky2: How did the leakage tests go?
  21. Nice one Ed, not seen that before but it is sooooo true:lol:
  22. I have noticed this mid range growl, especially on my 346 in its tuned state. Nothing to worry about as long as the saw is not over revving at the top and displaying a bleached or graphite grey plug. You should have tan brown somewhere around the electrode area to be good, black is overly rich!
  23. Vote for Echo here. Got the longest single edge hedge trimmer - 1metre I think and a long reach hedge trimmer - nice units, low vibes:thumbup:
