  1. There tends to be quite a bit of sawdust build up down the clutch side of the saw, you will need to remove the muffler to raise the cylinder. The only issue that may happen is the sawdust drops between the mating surfaces. You could make sure the cylinder base is spotless before raising it - not sure you will get enough flex in the carb linkage to do it though. Make sure you torque down the bolts very tight when bolting down the cylinder.
  2. And Tea at Reids in the afternoon:thumbup:
  3. They are the fellas, superb service and knowledge, I have ordered parts in the afternoon and had them the next day, very helpful and above all, good value as well - can't fault them. You may have noticed, I like to give praise when it is deserved:thumbup:
  4. Are you talking about the transfer cover bolts and the clearance to the rear of the flywheel?
  5. This is the 357XP although we increased the pop up size afterwards
  6. Looks like we have a 560XP in for porting plus to add a bit of spice, it will be running a pop up piston and some radical compression:thumbup: This saw is a bitsa so it is pretty much anything goes on it. It will be an interesting project!
  7. Lucky man, wages in Ireland must be good:sneaky2: It was a long time ago since I was there but found the pizza place - they did a weird one with stewing steak on it, it was rather good in a strange sort of way. When I was there, the Madeiran Wine Rally was on and they sponsored a Fiat Cinquecento rally car that was a right laugh, not quite as fast as the factory Celicas and Impretzas! This is the place -http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g189167-d1567707-Reviews-Pizzaria_Xaramba-Funchal_Madeira_Madeira_Islands.html Got good reviews still:thumbup:
  8. Jon, think you better rephrase what you are saying as it makes Eddie sound like a lap dancing rent boy.........unless this is what you mean:confused1::lol:
  9. Is that the island of Medeira in the Atlantic, home of the temperate climate with those channels that run down from the mountain top to irrigate the land...levadas, that's it:thumbup: If you are anywhere near Funchal, try the pizza place on the left side of the town facing the harbour, forget the name but it was pretty good:thumbup: You get about!
  10. Never had any chrome coming off any of my tools but most date back to my teens when tools were made to last - paid for themselves thousands of times over:thumbup:
  11. If you are Swampy off AxeMen, you wear the wifes underwear:lol: or is it one of his "Cousins":lol:
  12. Seen them on 346XP NE, 390 372 and probably more, think the 390 as well - we are talking that rubbery raised one aren't we - would use a good solvent clean on the area before sticking it down!
  13. You could cut a drainage channel with an angle grinder or use expandable foam, it sticks like to a blanket and fills big gaps! Get an image up - may get some other good ideas going! How about a length of guttering pushed under the walls to collect the condnsation!
  14. Check the easy things first, make sure the oiler hole in the bar is clear of wood chip and make sure the oiler channel in the bar mount is the same. Flush the oil tank with petrol. If that doesn't clear it, check the breather is clean, it is pushed in to the area just above the bar nount and is behind the nylon push in chain guide/buffer. If this is OK then it is most likely the oiler being plugged, the clutch will have to be removed clockwise, and once off, blast some WD40 through it so it goes in one side, and out of the other - do it both ways and be prepared to weedle out woodchip that has blocked the pump. Check the rubber block the oil pump pushes in to is clear of wood chip and then reassemble - check the oiler gear/pinion is good with no flats on the thread but I have never seen one go down. All should be good if you do this and it is easier than sodding around trying other methods!
  15. Puffin installed and Puffin it aint:lol: straight in there, no worries:thumbup:
  16. I guessed it would be and don't reckon an unlimited coil will be available any time soon! In theory though, it is unlikely the saw will pull much more than 12,000rpm in larger cuts so the unlimited coil will give you nothing!
  17. The black coils were usually from earlier models before the limiters became widespread or were aftermarket ones. Shame this software can't disable the limiter...or can it:sneaky2:
  18. https://www.puffinbrowser.com/index.php Yup, looks like you can:thumbup:
  19. That is an interesting bit of info, will save me firing up the XP Lappy beast:thumbup:
  20. spudulike

    372xp

    That's one very good and well trained wife, sounds a bit like mine - got her watching Axe Men now:thumbup:
  21. Oh cripes, here we go again, can't you lot do anything:001_rolleyes:
  22. Ah, so you are the proud new owner of the ported 346XP, hope you are finding it nice:thumbup:
  23. If you don't form a good receiving thread, the helicoil doesnt sit well and will take the thread off the bolt when inserted:thumbdown:
