Keep us up to date with it - now you have started the story:sneaky2: Didn't see that you were in NZ - wonder what a courier would charge:001_rolleyes:
-
I have also added a little more since doing yours Geoff - makes for a tad more compression and a bit more torque - always progressing:thumbup:
-
I did offer, I am not going force you:lol: My mate always says "you can take your horse to water but you can't make it wash your car":lol: May have to catch you at the Capel Manor bash this year!

Did the tech expire halfway through the work? Pit strange taking off the diaphragm cover off the carb and leaving it off:confused1: Send if in, I will get it running well:thumbup:
-
Thats a safety feature - nobody would want you cutting yourself! I have had experience of the two saws and the ony thing that brought the MS201 to life was drilling the exhaust - after this was done, you could actually start leaning on the saw rather than waiting for the chain to start spinning. One I had in did have a semi seized piston so your dealer should check for similar - even drilling the exhaust on this one didn't get it fully better even though compression was reasonably good. The saws are not great IMO - I have picked up loads of work on MS200Ts - I am doing a couple for one guy that purchased two off ebay just because he refused to buy a MS201 - the first one is done - along with some tuning and its compression is right back to 180psi and the pickup is bang on decent:thumbup:
-
Thought they were cleaning the interiors of cars with it:blushing::lol:
-
Been a busy bee in that workshop haven't you - does the saw miss the extra 25psi or is it as fast still?
-
Check the throttle linkage isn't holding the carb open. Not sure how a broken clutch spring would cause over revving - it would usually allow one clutch shoe to contact the clutch drum making the chain run at idle or make the saw stall:confused1: A fast idle is also a sign of an air leak but check the throttle linkage first.

Hate to burst your bubble, the texts have to be specific to a chainsaw issue someone is experiencing and need to result in a fixed chainsaw. Just sending out spurious messages like - buy my double glazing and busty girls here won't cut the mustard,
-
Some of them need two stroke mix - they are fourstrokes bu not as you know them - typical fourstrokes have wet sumps - oil in them or an oil tank and scavanging system - Dry sump. The Stihl ones I have seen are the spawn of beelzebub and run on two mix!
-
Mystery over - it was Tobimax after a bout of indepth texts about ignition timing, flywheels and damaged keys:thumbup: It resulted in a working saw and a crate of beer, with thanks:thumbup1:
-
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:
