<p>Hi Carl,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have ported a couple of 395XPs and they respond to port widening, transfer work, muffler mod and igniton timing advance. I believe the 560 will come to life with a muffler mod. I don't know how much you know or have done but read the info on here and arborist site to learn more before cutting metal!</p>

I just remove the auto decomp, thread the hole in the transfer cover to M5 and threadlock a small M5 bolt in to the hole then fit a manual decomp. Back to the issue - pull the muffler and check the piston is OK - it should look wet and light grey - any vertical scores are bad news!

The things we do on a Bank Holiday, the kitchen was the target today, old work surface ripped out, new Beech worktop put in, new splash back to the oven being fittted today and tomorrow - nearly done:lol:

Purchsing product in the UK is different from purchasing product in Germany, in Germany they have fewer online purchases and prefer to research online and to purchase from a shop. The online sales figures are freely available for all to see. It is about time this German company understand that they can't enforce how we shop in the UK and that if they try to, they will ultimately lose sales. Stihl should understand the local market and respond to it rather than trying to fight the fact that online sales in the UK are in growth and they will not change this!!! Stihls sales figures must have been hit by this stupid decision!

Shame we don't get to vote:lol:

Leave those birdies alone Martin.....or I will tell the wife:thumbdown::2gunsfiring_v1:

God bless Stihl, they really want to hand all their business over to Husqvarna, Echo, Dolmar, Makita.........etc:001_rolleyes: I can see perhaps why it could be a good idea but with a strong undercurrent of FORCING you to purchase where they WANT you to purchase from and assuming all purchasers are home users with NO experience of the product:001_rolleyes: Anyone know a good Human Rights Lawyer:thumbup:

Not nice to screw up a saw ou have done lots of work on, milling is pretty tough on saws though as the saw gets little time to cool down and that build up of heat can cause issues. Nice work on the 365 though!

How about starting a "whats going on in your kitchen" thread:thumbup:
-
And so shall it be and you will be happy with it, better than what could have happened if you had run the machine as it was:thumbdown: Fingers crossed it will arrive tomorrow!
-
Still waiting for the seal to arrive so I can reassemble it:thumbdown:
-
Try a wood chisel and wall paper scraper - that will do it:thumbup: These bank holidays are a blast ....aren't they?
-
I have heard that you find ported saws strangely erotic:lol: If I can pull the thing over and get it started without breakinng body parts then we should be on for making some sawdust and cookies - still a long way to go though:001_rolleyes:
-
Been up at Burrells today, got the pop up piston machined and the cylinder base turned down on the 066 - got the squish just right and will be porting it next - pictures to follow!

Whats on my bench, not on the bench but been replacing drop links on the anti roll bar from the wifes Fiesta, followed by:001_rolleyes: the thermostat......sounds easy doesn't it:001_rolleyes: Remove wheel, remove lower pulley cover, remove drive belt, remove alternator with its hidden bolts, remove hoses and finally remove the thermostat cover with....three hidden bolts:lol: What a job! She still isn't happy - she wanted a new splashback behind the hob and new worksurface....she forgot the GP is on and I need the power off:001_rolleyes:
-
Sounds like you have got bored Wes and found a liking for Guiness:lol:
-
The base or the transfer bulge will bear the manufacturer name "Mahle" and on it and the very top of the cylinder by the plug hole, the flat will have "A" or "B" engraved on it !

Lost you already - the quip was about the contest being like a duel, the "second" is the helping hand who carries the guns or chainsaws in this case and administers medication Bit of English history for you Wes:thumbup:
-
Don't we need a misty morning, leather gloves and a second - I may be losing you with this one Wes:lol:

Very interesting - have you got rid of your backlog of work:001_rolleyes: Me to:thumbup:

If we need to run a 560XP against my 357XP - not a problem, I can only go on what I have achieved and what I have measured. I go by fact rather than lippy retorts:lol: Joshs 346XP sounds a bit good - nice figures:thumbup:
-
He is right you know, AV rubbers:lol: possibly just a leaking cap, try turning the O ring round the other way:thumbup:

Let us see how it goes once on:thumbup:
