Pretty piss poor behaviour IMO, not sure I would walk from £145 that easily and would knock on his door to find out what his issue is. The other party isn't a long term member so not sure the Arbtalk mods & Steve can do anything or should. Fortunately I have never had any issues like this!

Lets do a virtual group hug:thumbup:

Always a pleasure to know our ramblings helped a fellow Arbtalker. Glad you caught it in time as the hole often gets big enough to let in air which leans the mix and pop, one seized engine. Thanks for letting us know.

chainsaw clutch drum needle roller lubrication?
spudulike replied to David Heaf's topic in Chainsaws
The chain running on at idle is most likely worn clutch springs. It is usual for the needle bearing to shed its grease over a short period of time - it doesn't harm in most cases! If anyone wants a clean Dolmar 123, I have a nice one ready to go and looks low hours! It wont break the bank:thumbup: -
Personally I haven't got a clue what you are doing but this link should help with product selection - http://www.loctite.co.uk/uke/content_data/189814_Product_Selector.pdf If you are locking a thread, be careful which one you select as some are permanent and others are semi permanent bonding agents.

Doom and Duke Nukeum......shake em baby shake em:thumbup:

I often charge neighbours in beer - a crate for a small job or two for a little larger. The noise I make in sorting saws pisses some off but hard to sound off at a guy who has just helped you sort out his garden for a favour:thumbup: Most of my neighbours owe me one way or another - the rest have purchased saws off me or I have fixed theirs - play the game.......and be good at it:thumbup: Got a date in Gods Garden in a few weeks - the village sorting out the Churchyard for the winter - always get a big thank you and some more brownie points:thumbup:

I currently have a scrapper of a 560 sent in by the owner as an experiment to see what I can get out of it. Not worked on it yet but will port and tune it to see what is possible.

If this repair all cocks up, I have some oversize options I have used in the past:001_rolleyes:
-
If it is an Xtorq, check the fuel line or replace it now, I had two in recently that have had this issue - both seized:thumbdown: Other than that - it is possible the fuel filter is getting stuck to the back of the tank, especially if the fuel line is short. It is possible that the L screw is a bit rich and the fuel puddles in the bottom of the crankcase and stalls the engine. Check the blue kill wire running from the coil to the kill switch - it may be shorting. Check the fuel tank breather is OK and if all else fails, get the carb cleaned - it is probably fuel related and it won't hurt.

Sounds like they are after any business you can't manage due to size or complexity. Ask for a referal fee if you pass work to them!
-
Basically, whatever I can get. Got a load of two year seasoned conifer, a bit of Elm and oak. It all burns and is free!

No Problem, always a pleasure:thumbup:
-
Mmmm - the concept of a bio degradable chain oil confused them also. I have had a fair bit off them in the past, sometimes service is a bit iffy but generally their prices are good. L&S are a class act, professional and quick supply:thumbup:

Glad you are happy with it:thumbup:

Not at all, I hate stripped threads and missing bolts, always like fixing them:thumbup:
-
No plug should do this as normal and the last few threads will be stripped out when it finally blows. New plugs can seem tight but the compression washer can compress and cause the plug to come loose. I reckon that the first time it did it it took some of the thread with it and now there isn't enough to keep it in when hot.
-
Trouble is the reach of the plug isn't much - around 9mm so if any of the thread is damaged, there isn't much left to hold it - done a few of these now. If you have a plug chaser tap then try it but don't get too close to the plug when you start it up:blushing:
-
PM me if you need it done, if it is stripped down, it won't be that much.
-
Glad I got rid of that saw...thanks for the exposure lads:blushing: Only kidding:lol:
-
Yes, another good quality option. I have found the aluminium inserts fail when hot so use Sealey copper coated stainless ones and these screw in damn tight and will never come out. I have also used helicoils in the smaller M12 plug holes and used the Vcoil tapered tap which worked well. Just avoid these £8 ones with a cheap reamer/tap. All you will do with these is destroy a very expensive cylinder by opening up the hole and leaving a very poorly formed thread......been there:001_rolleyes:
-
Here you go Bud.....http://www.husqvarna.com/ddoc/husi/husi2011_aaaa/husi2011_aaaa__24.pdf I reckon the image is wrong as the cylinder shown has a decomp valve but the cover has no hole Part - 575 25 59-01 The old part on the 365 non x torq is 503 62 78-02
-
Probably someone not tightening the thing up enough. It will have come undone, high temp exhaust will have blown past the last few threads hardening them and then...BANG, the compression blew the plug out when it was only held in by the last few threads. Someone may have cross threaded it at some stage weakening the thread. It is best to get someone who knows what they are up to, to ream out the hole, retap it and fit either an insert or Helicoil. Personally I favour the insert as they are damn hard and can be bonded in so will be stronger than the original but some rate a stainless helicoil. If you haven't done this before, don't be tempted by some of the shyte kits on ebay - they are shocking and you may end up scrapping the cylinder. Vcoil do some of the better kits on the market! A fair bit on doing one here - http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/1061520-post6107.html

Yes, old saws were manufactured in a day where 25:1 mix was normal which is down to the quality of the oil and nothing to do with the saw. Things have progressed in 20 years and 50:1 is the norm on most decent manufacturers quality oils. Amsoil is even rated at 100:1 but Stihl HP will be 50:1

It may need a little tuning but it will. You often find lack of pump fuel can harden fuel pipes causing them to leak from where they push in to the fuel tank and also you sometimes get a few running issues after a few tanks but a carb clean resolves this. Personally, I fit a new carb kit and fuel line when converting to Aspen and warn the owner that I may need to clean ha carb again after a few tanks! Just wht I have found - it does smell better than pump fuel though:thumbup:
