Been waiting for a seal to arrive from them for over 10 days:001_rolleyes: Can't say they are as good as Gustharts or L&S Engineers!
-
Sounds like a very fair price to me:thumbup:
-
That's a nice engine - twin choke dellortos?
-
There was a similar thread earlier this week - it is 95% going to be either the earth strap which is the green and yellow wire by the front AV mount or the connector not connecting on the black wire in the same place. Take care when taking the side cover off the handle!
-
You are on the list with the 372XT- thanks for the vid, I rarely get to time, compare and use many of the saws I do so having comparisons like this, teally help:thumbup: Sounds like it is pulling good revs through the cut!
-
From my side, I do point out that if the saw is to be used by employees then a modded saw would probably not be suitable down to the H&S if there were an accident, but for your own use, it is your own personal choice. I had a motorbike tuned once - the choice was mine - the tuning shop just did what I asked of them! I am NOT taking H&S lightly, I see many machines come in with chain catchers missing or damaged chainbrake handles used by pro users........which get repaired:001_rolleyes:
-
Nice vid Josh, pretty much bang on 20 seconds per saw - pretty impressive a 50cc saw keeping up with a 70cc one:thumbup:
-
It is generally the earth wire (yellow/green) that has fractured - sometimes, even when it looks OK, it isnt. Simple to replace but take care when you remove the handle cover. The other possibility is the black wire may have come off its spade connector - just push it back on with the same side cover removed!
-
Another MS200, yet another exhaust gasket not replaced properly, wasn't the first and won't be the last:001_rolleyes:
-
Of course - the world and his wife seem to If there has been water in the bottom end, I would flush the crankcase out with petrol and spray water dispersant (GT85/WD40) on the crank bearings. turn the crank over slowly and make sure it is silky smooth, any notichness and the crank bearings are probably rusty or shot!
-
Sounds like lack of fuel - look at the fuel filter, check the fuel line isn't split, check the carb internal gauze filter/strainer isn't blocked. It may be worth just trying to richen up the H screw 1/4 turn before diving under the top cover! Also worth checking the exhaust port isn't full of carbon - common issue with hedge trimmers.

Try the metering arm - bend it upwards 0.5mm and try again:thumbup:

<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!

Josh Noon on my Spuds porting thread did, think his mate wasn't impressed:lol:
-
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!
