The saw sounds like it is running very rich, has the H screw been adjusted? It is possible the metering arm isn't set correctly - you need to put a flat edge across the body of the carb and make sure the metering arm is damn close or just kissing the edge. It is possible the needle valve isn't sealing properly, it is also possible the diaphragm is the wrong one or you may have fitted the spacer gasket in the wrong place - it goes between the diaphragm and the carb body and NOT between the diaphragm cover and the diaphragm. The L&H screw should be one turn out but the H screw may still have the limiter on it! Was this the one I refurbed some time ago? If it is, you can send it in and I will do it for the price of the courier back and a crate of beer:thumbup:

Damn right Matty but it helps if all the bolts are out first:001_rolleyes: This thing feels like it has come off the Bismark:lol:

This is what I was making when I drilled my thumb, now feeling a little better:thumbup: Any guesses as to what it is:confused1:

This was my solution - braze in a top deflector

Is the saw new, if it is, take it back to the dealer. In basic terms, a saw needs compression, spark and fuel to work, if the plug is wet, the spark plug sparks if the saw is pulled over with the plug out, pushed in to the cap and earthed on the cylinder then it sounds like compression. It sounds like you need someone to give it a good going over - if you post your rough area, one of us techs may offer help! Steve

It hurt just after but kept going, the pain subsided after a while, better than when I stuck a screw in my knuckle - wife asked me if I felt faint and bang.....collapsed, had felt fine before she asked:001_rolleyes: By the way - no part yet but reckon it will be tomorrow - PM me the cost as I don't want to forget!

It is bad news but generally you can salvage the cylinder - look on my "Whats on your bench" thread for guidance. It is important to clean the cylinder fully and fit a good quality piston - Meteor are the best aftermarket and don't be put off by the slightly higer price or the fact the guy on ebay is in Greece, he always delivers:thumbup: I did an 066 that was a little lacking and gave it back it's original Mojo with a new piston and a good set up:thumbup: The split fuel line may have done the piston damage but personally, I always do a pressure and vac test to make sure it won't do it again!

Tonight I can confirm that having a 5mm drill snap and having the turning end embed itself 1cm in to your thumb damn well hurts - it reminded me of stuffing butter under the skin of a turkey - not nice:thumbdown: It looks better than it was:blushing:

Was a bit manic wasn't it.........and chestnut before anyone asks:lol:

Nah, we had them with a cuppa later:001_rolleyes:

This is my 357XP at full bore - shows you what can be done to them:thumbup:[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12FcOEkzuvI]husq 357 part 2 - YouTube[/ame]

I think many may disagree with that statement about not being witchcraft , adjusting carbs can be a black art, 026s are always a bit of a bitch and some MS200Ts with 020 carbs are a bit fussy in the L screw setting, Once you have mastered it, it is simple enough. Be aware that if you lean the H screw down too much, the saw WILL seize. The L screw will just cause idle and early mid range issues if not set correctly.

Reckon you have been cloned by aliens, where is the old Rich? Knew it was only a matter of time:thumbup:
-
The oil adjuster can be a bit iffy, they need to be revved out before hitting the wood otherwise they bog down unlike the MS200 which will rev through it - they are a bit similar in that respect to the MS201!
-
I personally would stick it in a decent high power US cleaner in a stripped down condition and then reassemble and try it again - I have yet to throw a carb in the bin or replace one! Rowena Motors will do an OEM carb kit for under £15 delivered - that is the FULL kit delivered!
-
Go on ebay and get a second user one - check the IPL, get the number and look for other machines that share the part:thumbup:
-
It probably seized, felt a bit tight on the starter so the owner put a load of oil in the bore and pulled it over so it is a mix of oil and aluminium powder! Elementary my dear Rich:thumbup:
-
It is for an Echo HCA265ES pole trimmer, Barrie pulled the spare in for me.....with thanks:thumbup:

I am guessing you know all about cleaning cylinders by now, never done a 394 but am guessing it will be similar to the 395Xp! The air box - one allen comes out fine, the higher one! Drill a small hole in the plastic that is hiding the lower one - there is usually a recess in it as if they meant it to be but filled it in at the last moment - it helps getting a long key in the allen bolt:thumbup: The muffler - am guessing the same as the 395XP - undo the two front nuts - lube if necessary, undo the two lower support plate bolts, loosen the bolts holding the dogs on and then wallop the muffler with a mallet and pull it off - that is usually how it shifts on a 395XP! The 3/16 - yup, pretty damn weird, why not M5 or M6 - caught me out a few times - almost like some US made kit - Metric on the outside and imperial inside:001_rolleyes:
-
If it is a non runner it may be congealed old fuel and oil otherwise it may be a breach in the crank gasket or oil put in to the saw for storage???
-
Thats fine Barrie, I think I have a buyer for it, just got to fit this part, sharpen it and re-grease the gearbox. Already given it a clean and cleared the carbon out of the exhaust port! PM me the final cost - that part number is a right ol cracker......who would be a repair man:lol:
-
I fitted one of these in a seized MS460 some three years ago, all was good............until the owner dropped a tree on the handle:001_rolleyes: It now has a new handle and is running again:thumbup: Meteor are as close to OEM that you will get and will work damn well - worth the extra money IMO:thumbup:
-
Not sure what you mean, what is this strange part, never seen one before in my life - OK it's for a poorly pole trimmer I picked up and Barrie, being an Echo dealer, was kind enough to help me - thanks bud, always good:thumbup: I may have to post how you pull that gear apart, got the bearing off and found the circlip:thumbup: That part number on the bag.......what a life:001_rolleyes:
