Not being funny but what the hell are car valeters doing with Hydrochloric acid:confused1: The stuff will burn through most man made fabrics!
-
That's the best way to learn. Much of my skill was found returning scrappers off ebay:thumbup:
-
Bad news but hope the next few weeks bring you better - good luck.
-
No IT WASNT, it was BEER..........Cmon - own up - I know you are out there!
-
Nice of you to say so:blushing:
-
Hows the 346Xp going Paul - nice:thumbup:
-
I know what you mean:blushing:
-
Good try....wrong:sneaky2: I think it may be from the owner of a Stihl 192 that is now working after a lot of advice - I always joke about sending over the beers - think he took me literally:thumbup: Hopefully I will find out soon before you lot get on to Toyas Thunder in the Mountains - another classic:lol:
-
You were lucky, to get away with that, I had a 372 in this week, massive chunk missing out of the top of the piston - not a scratch or chip out of the cylinder! Loads of swarf that I have washed out of the cylinder and crankcase though!
-
Thats a real good idea - that will be the last we hear of Wes:001_rolleyes:
-
Well you lot are a big bloody help - the misses says I can't drink it until we know where it came from:001_rolleyes:
-
As Toyah said - It's a mystery oh its a mystery:confused1:
-
Mmmm - I went to school at Tunbridge Wells:001_rolleyes: You may be right:thumbup:
-
Well thats had a little work on it hsn't it:thumbup: Your own work?? Compression target is 200-220psi, with the ignition timing a few degrees advanced, ths will kick, blowdown - 16 - 18 is tha target with a fair bit of wideneing to the ports - just need the pop up done but Burrell has a bad bout of flu:thumbdown:
-
When you were young...did dinosaurs roam the earth:confused1:
-
I came home to a delivery tonight - strange I thought...small chainsaw in that box:confused1: Openend it up and was confronted by beer:thumbup: I really have no idea who sent it but thanks - I am hoping it isn't some sort of scam and is from someone I have helped on here! So.....who ws it? Before all of you say it was you:001_rolleyes: tell me the number of bottles and manufacturer:lol:

My 30 year old Suffolk Colt is OK on it - if the oil mix is a bit high, it needs a little choke all the time and you can get the air filter getting oily but it runs, it smokes, it cuts the grass:thumbup: Been doing it for 3-4 years now!
-
Good man:thumbup:
-
Bet you vote Liberal as well don't you Barrie:001_rolleyes: I guess if Peatff meant that then OK - will take it back, I would say people think of the metering diaphragm as "the diaphragm" but will find out later when he pops up again:lol: Just wanted to make sure people didn't believe the metering diaphragm did any pumping - easy mistake to make! The top part of the carb does the pumping acting like a mini fuel pump as the fuel is often lower than the carb, the bottom "Metering" section with the metering arm in it, meters out the fuel in to the carb choke/throat and in to the engine.

Funny that expansions are coming up - just picked up a race pipe for a KX85 - similar stroke and cc to my 066:001_rolleyes: There is an option to try it on the saw once I get it going - just need to "create" a manifold connection and supporting brackets etc.
-
The diaphragm doesn't pump, it allows the carb to hold a little fuel that is pulled in to the carb throat by the vacuum formed in the carb throat by the engine pulling air across the low speed jets and high speed check valve (venturi effect) The diaphragm also meters the correct amount of fuel to be held in this part of the carb by pushing on the metering arm and then having the fuel hold it off from letting more fuel in by breaking contact with the metering arm. It is the pumping membrane in the top of the carb that creates the pumping action and this acts against a closed needle valve that opens when the petrol is used in the metering section and the diaphragm rivet contacts the metering arm! Thought everyone knew this:001_tt2: No offence bud - just like facts to be accurate:thumbup:
-
Not converted to the dark side yet? You know you liked the 346XP - despite the inlet boot:thumbup:
-
Bet it isnt - my money is on 58cc:thumbdown:
-
Glad to hear it arrived OK, the other good bit of news is that if it goes again, I now have the 18mm inserts, taps and reamer so can do a follow if if necessary:thumbup:
-
The fact the saw fires and runs a bit on choke means that the rest of the saw is sort of OK. If the saw won't idle but will run if you give it a handful means you have issues with the low speed part of the carb, if the saw will idle but not run flat out means you have issues with the high speed part of the carb. If it won't run at all, then it is most likely fuel starvation. Has it got a separate impulse line - if so , check there isn't a hole in it. Is the gauze filter in the carb blocked? Have you popped the H&L screws out and passed some cleaner down the holes? It is always worth putting carbs that are misbehaving in an ultrasonic cleaner - it really does sort out many issues! You could just try turning the L&H screw out by 1/2 turn and try that - it may be the original setting was a tad lean and hardened diaphragm is now making it even leaner!
