A rough rule of thumb is the bar size in inches is a third of the cc of the machine so 60cc is 20" etc.... 30" on a MS441 will need a calendar to measure the cut speed:lol: 20" for speed or 25" if you need extra cut length

Viewing it on my phone, I thought it was a house brick but on closer inspection, believe it to be the carb:001_rolleyes:
-
I always find this argument is pretty tedious, bit like arguing which is better, an Indian takeaway or Chinese......just depends on what you like:001_rolleyes: Jonsereds are always good saws, same build quality as Husqvarnas but generally lower cost:thumbup:
-
Does that make you something to do with Matty??? Just thinking who I have done MS260s for:confused1:
-
Please, don't buy a Jonnie....all we will get is how Stihl are better than Jonsereds:001_rolleyes: What are you getting - 920 or something similar?

Well the 254XP has hit a brick wall, air leak traced back to the flywheel side, put my last spare in and it was better on vacuum but not perfect but the pressure check that had been perfect, was now awful - letting out air on the clutch side so got a new seal on order. Started work on the 357XP again, full port job, nice finish on widened inlet and exhaust port, re-profiled uppers and slight mods to the lowers. Two muffler mods and should finish the 357XP soon and the 254XP later in the week.

Fitted my own around 8 years ago, not as difficult as you may think, I did around two windows a day. The cost - around £200 for a normal mis size window, £250 - 300 for a door, £500 for a french window and a fitter would charge around £100 per apperture fitting. Four windows - around £1k and £1.5k for fitting and disposal - sounds a little steep IMO! I burnt my old frames so a double win:thumbup:

Cut it off the fins with a craft knife
-
Yes but rumour has it you have painted some parts grey and put a "Stihl" sticker on it to allow you to use it:lol: Think I may have to save it from your possession!
-
Not sure we would want him on the dark side Andy, reckon he has been assimilated by Stihl:001_tt2::lol:
-
Genuine parts.....I think not, the maximum revs figure is far to low, I reckon you will be better buying a real one.....pays your money once, pay more and get the real deal!
-
May have to come down to the show and abuse your carving:lol: More mushrooms is it:blushing:
-
Well that saved me digging out my trusty photos:thumbup:
-
Just get a socket and grind the usually rounded or concave end to a complete flat so it locates on the shallow hexagonal centre of the clutch better
-
And the Yanks call them jugs, I once explained that jugs were ears or devils dumplings but think I lost them:lol:
-
Had a local guy with what we believed to be a slug of diesel in his petrol, the saw smoked like hell and put out a fluid that was like kerosene. I put it down to the fuel and flammable element of the diesel burning leaving the less flammable elements to be ejected as fluid. The saw ran again and should cause no issues!
-
Nice one Andy,spot on:thumbup:
-
Same here and no waiting for the tank to fill:thumbup:
-
Think you had one of these last year didn't you Barrie? Didn't some bright spark change the filter cover as well confusing what the route cause was:001_rolleyes: Reasonably common issue, usually caused by not pushing hard enough on the screw and forcing it round!
-
If you wanted a second opinion from me then read the above....again:thumbup: My experience of seized 346XPs is that they do score the cylinder but you may be lucky. I do have a nearly new OEM kit but would need a good offer to part with it:blushing: If you go Chinese - make sure the cylinder has closed transfers as the originnal does! If you go this route , fit OEM or Caber ring to the piston!
-
And very helpful it was Barrie:thumbup:
-
Now they make decent hedge trimmers, got two myself and they aren't for sale:lol:
-
Yes, quite happy with the way it is going, these saws always had a lot of torque and revved pretty high so this should get the old girl going a bit. You should find it a bit lighter after I have removed all that chip in it - I thought I had found a field mouse nest in it at one stage:lol:
-
Saw a picture of a guy who had kickback right in to his face whilst using a topper at head height - it was horrific....really horrific. Another was an opened up arm by someone pulling a scabard off a running saw - never knew tendons were so white:thumbdown: Good luck with the project:thumbup:
-
You could try taking it back to the delaer and getting them to explain how to start it but if you want to try...... Take the top cover off, pull the plug out, turn the saw up down with the ignition OFF, pull the saw over briskly a few times - you may get fuel running or vapour coming out of the cylinder. Leave the plug out over night and then replace it tomorrow and go through the normal starting procedure - chances you missed the first fire of the engine on full choke first time and flooded it:blushing: Good luck
