Greece is in the EU so no import duty as it has been paid in an EU country. For the record Leo is a fab ebay trader - got me a 395XP piston in 3 working days and 5 is around normal. Mister Solutions will be a white box Chinese one - no comparison IMO!

Well spotted Bob, exactly what I was thinking:thumbup:
-
When you fitted it, did you make sure the bore was completely clean of aluminium transfer - thats if it seized? Did you also re-bevel the edges of the ports? Meteor are best after OEM and then Episan, followed by Golf...IMO!

The MS66 will probably have it just for cutting small stuff on a 3/8 chain, the 560 will be up there and ahead of many of the rest. We did similar over a year ago and the big saws on 3/8 are faster than the smaller ones on 0.325 - next you will be looking at having them ported:thumbup: Can't say on the Dolmars - not played with them yet:blushing:

You don't want to ask unless you want t become obsessive about your chainsaws performance - I'm in rehab.....sort of:blushing:

Thats completely bonkers, does he start leaning it half a mile before the corner and that solid strut rear:blushing: must be carrying a few extra pounds on his arse to cope with it:lol: Any plans to take it up to Santa Pod:thumbup:

Blocked oil hole in the bar, is the bar compressing the rubber oil feed channel and closing it - not sure if it has one as unfamiliar with the model!

Volcano Principle for me - the tool I always need is on the top of the pile

I think he may be gay:blushing:

I know exactly what you mean by that - just working on getting the balance right:thumbup:

Looks like I am the odd man out then, just finishing off the two MS201s and MS200 I have in, got another MS200T in, two more in Sunday, Dolmar 143 in, a MS660 and another MS200 on the way:blushing: Got a busy weekend and two days next week and really hope I can clear a few of these out before Christmas:thumbup: Happy Christmas to all......even that Rich fella:001_tt2:

The muffler mod and porting thing usually gives a 15 - 20% reduction in cutting time and gives more torque in the cut - a muffler mod will give good benefits on modern restrictive exhausts. And for the record - I am around 220 miles from Hereford as I am in north HERTFORDshire:001_rolleyes:

When you set the H screw on a chainsaw, you are actually using the carb as a rev limiter. It works by semi flooding the spark ignition when the saw is flat out and on every other stroke so the saw doesn't fire on each second stroke but does it every fourth stroke hence the term. This phenomenon keeps the saw from over revving and seizing. Many modern saws also have limited coils doing a similar thing but the carb still needs setting the same way!
-
Ah Stubby, you have learnt well:lol:

Happy Christmas:thumbup:

Rich, the part you need is - 1121 160 5400 Sometimes on online sites, if you get the part number slightly wrong, it comes up with a similar part - been there before with a fuel line
-
Depends on the colour of your coil, mine was the unlimited black one and just upped the revs to 13,500 and it worked fine - the important thing to ensure is that you get a little fourstroking on the top end and the colour of the plug is tan.

Some use strong alkalie - Sodium Hydroxide etc, some use HCL (Muriatic) acid - brick cleaner does work well - if it fizzes, it is oxidising the aluminium. Eventually with a bit of abrasive paper and re-applying acid, all the transfer will go and the oxide can be removed with some semi course grit paper and finished with a finer 400 grit. I have done some with around 0.3mm of aluminium bonded to the cylinder - the newer the cylinder, the better it will probably work. The area above the ceiling of the exhaust port is the critical compression area - the cylinder should be left where you can't feel any damage with your fingertip.
-
Personally I use acid to remove heavy transfer - light stuff can be removed with abrasive paper, you then do a light hone with abrasive paper or use a hone but very lightly.
-
Personally I would try to rework the cylinder, I have had some pretty bad examples on my "Whats on my Bench" thread that have cleaned up and are giving good service. I have even had some cylinders that didn't look good but still made high compression. The Meteor pistons are the best and Danikrop on ebay from Greece is a top guy - ordered a piston on Thursday midday and it arrived Tuesday - now that is better than many UK sellers - I have ordered around 30-40 pistons off the guy and always around a week or under:thumbup: The guy called MaxMoto from Latvia is also reliable! The weak point in the Chinese pistons are the piston rings and circlips:thumbdown:

I was thinking male chicken:lol: It is probably a thrust washer so very thin!

Looks like I did a good job then, got a mini typhoon coming out of it:001_rolleyes:
-
Fully understand, it is flubbing ever so slightly every now and then and will use the plug colour to see if there is much left, may get another 500rpm out of it:thumbup:
-
The Welch plug covers the low speed jets and won't cause flooding, it is more likely to be a leaking needle valve, bad high speed check valve, incorrectly sited needle valve spring, incorrect diaphragm fitted or incorrect metering arm height......just IMO:blushing:
-
Did it have new crank bearings?
