It is probably a Walbro HDA 154 and won't be an issue, the 61 probably has one of the carbs where the L screw dictates the H screw mix and you find adjusting one screw, knocks out the mix on the other - can be a right bitch setting these ones up:thumbdown: Usually found on older generation saws such as the 61 and older Stihl 024/026!

If it isn't that Rich, it may be a an inlet manifold issue, they can crack around the impulse connector or give issues on the manifold clip but TBH, if you don't need it and are going to send it up here, leave it till then, I take time to get the things sealed 100% and then tune the carb correctly so you don't get these issues. My 346 & 357 both will not pick up when stone cold and need 3-4 pulls on the throttle before they hit high revs - they all do it unless they are set too rich on the L screw. They don't do it once slightly warm!
-
I've done it using one of these online photo manipulators. Pretty easy!
-
Yup, agree, too lean on the L screw, turn it out 1/8th turn and re-adjust the idle. Huskys bog when stone cold but soon warm and rev fine - yours sounds overly lean to me Rich.

I think I had better add that is NOT my repair bill:001_rolleyes: Guess it is what Si paid for the kit! Forgot to add - the unit has 155psi and the piston is clean so not a bad unit in all - exhaust port cleaned, filter box cleaned, fuel lines checked, throttle lubricated, exhaust checked and recoil lubricated - all fine now:thumbup:

Shock Horror - feather stops Shindaiwa Long reach trimmer! Yup is true - but not how you think, the owner said it stopped abruptly in the hot weather - stripped it down a bit today and found a feather wrapped round the needle in the carb throat blocking the thing - also found the airfilter had a big hole in it:thumbdown: New filter on order and after a general service including cleaning the carbon out of the exhaust port and the thing now idles and revs just fine:thumbup:
-
The seals will only effect primary compression - that is the compression that happens within the crankcases used for fuel vapor transfer to the top of the cylinder and not secondary compression which is the compression you really feel on the starter cord - the one which we measure through the spark plug hole and is created by the piston travelling between the exhaust port and top dead centre. Even if the seals were completely shot, you would feel no real difference on the starter cord. Sorry to be the bringer of gloom:thumbdown:

Yeah, top fella

Well I found it interesting, new kid on the block V the old established Icon of a saw. Be interesting to run the new Husky against a ported MS200T but thats for another day:thumbup: Cheers Mark - nice job
-
From memory, you push the spring on to the plastic spigot on the action end, make sure the brake is in the "on" position, you then need to get the screw driver in to the bit where the spring usually sits and then push and prod the spring in to position which generally leaves the spring bent up a bit and finally push it in to place and screw on the cover quickly. You then need to disengage the brake either using a purpose made tool or by using the brake handle by pushing the side cover in to position - removing the sprocket and clutch makes this easier as the cover will push in to normal position this way! Make sure the brake handle and the side cover are fully engaged otherwise the mechanism will slip and damage the brake handle where it engages with the side cover.
-
Done one before, getting the spring back in is a bit of a mare, safety glasses and a big screwdriver is the norm!
-
Thought you were going to say they had pinched the ported 372XP, sorry to hear that Chris, bad news, at least with that bar, it will stand out from the crowd!
-
Here is a typical MS200T that I get in for repair, missing AV, not running, no recoil rope or handle, no bolts holding the cover on, filthy dirty, rusted up clutch........ The first image is the before, the second and third are after - the saw has just been tached and runs and idles perfectly, nice job, good cost effective way of getting a damn good backup saw!
-
Long handled pliers for pulling through fuel line, helicoil sets, tap and die set, ultrasonic cleaner, compressor, diamond burrs, dremmel, long reach sockets....... Someone stop me.....
-
So you want to go ahead with the nitrous oxide injection system then:thumbup:
-
No worries, as long as you are sorted:thumbup:
-
Nice dirty pic Rich:thumbup: was hoping for something a bit more saucy - guess GK may have had a coronary if it had been:lol: Will check the one I have at home and see if it will work - think it came from a Robin strimmer, I also have a Shindaiwa one kicking around, that one may also fit but bear with me unless GK comes up trumps!
-
Second that comment, crap website, great guys and service! Probably a Walbro TK, Rowena are agents for Walbro
-
Need a top handle for a Stihl MS441 and also the lower filter cover - the one held on with four screws. The saw is a customers and looks like it has been dropped out of a tree or a tree has landed on it:blushing: The parts are available but wondered if a deal could be struck:thumbup:
-
I always found the K series engine a little belter - 105 BHP from a 1.4 in those days was pretty good when 75bhp was the norm.... Anyway - I had a slow leak in mine many years ago and it turned out to be the inlet manifold - think it is heated by the coolant and is prone to leak - it will have a slow trickle down the back of the engine where the manifold bolts on to it - new gasket O ring seal sorted it.
-
You know the long reach works but am doing Wills saws at the moment and I have a backlog - aiming for end of next week - one week turnover is pretty good in my books:thumbup:
-
The last bit where the Skyline takes him on the corner and then the mobility scooter rips past him on the strait made me laugh out loud, sounds like a big four bike engine to me - it flies though!
-
Wonder if the local dealer would have fixed your trimmer and MS200 in 2 hours flat.....think not:thumbup::lol:
-
Well I have purchased Stihl parts from ebay and from a well known online parts agent - I did already have an account with the online parts stockinst but have had no issues in getting parts. The fact that other agents appear to know nothing about this policy gives me the impression that Stihl is targeting a small number of predominantly online sellers that are taking business from local agents - not sure how this stands legally
