"Varnicised" ...you making up words:confused1::lol: Oh - if it doesn't run then let me know as I had one and found out a small flaw in it's design!
-
I would read it as cutting some decent lumps of timber for 3-5 mins at 8-12krpm - typical running speed
-
If it gets the job done Rich, no worries, send it up, I am sure I will get it sorted pretty quick and back to you....
-
You won't find me whinging about it for three days:001_rolleyes::001_tt2: A little less talk a little more action Rich - my wife could do it faster than you:thumbup:
-
Yeah, cheers for the saw Sam, the engine fitted in the Mini Moto a treat, pulls 95mph with the front wheel in the air now:thumbup:
-
Yr getting some quality kit in now aren't you Rich:001_rolleyes: Its all about strong thumbs and slow rotation with recoil springs - got large hands so easy job for me:thumbup: Whats on my bench - My cheapo McCulloch long reach, first the union between poles broke....again, then....again....now fixed, half way through the job and......the fooking engine won't rev out, carb off, usual tweaks and clean...bingo, all working again! Now looking for a decent long reach as McCulloch cutters are made of cheese like metal! Perhaps you would like a play with them Rich:lol: Now on the bench, a cylinder for cleaning and porting for a 346XP NE, next up, trying to finish the 371XP I started before Stubbys 390XP lands for some serious porting:thumbup:
-
This is the only issue I have come across, the dowl on the furthest right side has shattered the holding turret.
-
Probably just a faulty piston with a loose location pin, it does happen even on OEM pistons - Golf are generally not a bad choice piston - better than many!
-
Thanks Martin, Re the problem, get a photo up, you can get some strange effects that I put down to the flow of exhaust gases and the way the earth electrode gets in the way of them!
-
Here is a nice pic of some plugs - far right lean, middle over heated - doesn't show it but it is a graphite grey colour, and far left is a proper job - nice colour! The far right one came from a lean seized MS880, the middle one, a seized bad fuel damage.
-
The 365 shares many parts and has the same bottom end as the 372XP and is a solid workhorse that will ring up decent size timber all day. It also shares parts with a few Jonsereds such as the 2065 and 2171 so in short, solid workhorse - not a racer but still a good and well liked saw.
-
Just make sure you adjust the carb once done, failure will cause positive hyperbolic pressure in your doofer:blushing:
-
And he makes a tasty bit of cake:lol:
-
Personally I use the non max setting and just hold the saw on max revs for half a second. The hedge trimmer "dancing all over" will have a limited coil - best to turn the H screw out to over one turn out and then bring it in gradually, regestering the max revs until you hit around 500rpm under maximum or leave it at the point it starts jumping all over the place - limited coils make the job a bit more fun:lol:
-
For the record, the tuned MS200Ts I do are generally tuned to around 14K - 14.2Krpm - standard max is 14,000 and would tune a standard saw to 13.5K - 13.8Krpm The tuned saws would probably take more but would rather build in a little bit of safety margin.
-
Wow, got a lot of experts on here tonight, been missin all the fun:001_rolleyes: As far as changing the mix when modding saws, most of what is said is absolute tosh spewed out by people who have never ported a saw in their life:lol: As you may know, I have tuned a saw or three and I have yet to richen a saw on the H screw when modding a saw. When you port a saw and do a muffler mod, you increase the flow through the engine and what does that extra flow do when pulled through the carb.......well it increases the pull through the high speed carb circuit - all to do with venturi effect on the H speed check valve - so when you retune the engine, you need to lean the saw down, the ported saws I do, on standard tuning, will be fourstroking like mad on standard tuning and often run on 3/4 screw setting rather than 1 turn and still turn in a dark brown plug colour. Tuning a ported saw is about plug colour, fourstroking and registering the new top RPM on a tach.

That Caravan Club are getting worse, it used to be OAPs with little BBQs and gingham table cloths and strange looking toilet tents, now it sounds like they are stretching their pensions out by pinching fowl:lol:
-
Less busy on my bench than Rich but good headway made on a 371XP I picked up - the cylinder had a lot of aluminium transfer on it and it cleaned up really well - a couple of hours work on and off but just tried the Meteor piston in the cleaned bore and it is a nice snug fit - should be a good saw once done and you have guessed - will be up for sale when done:001_rolleyes:
-
Put on safety glasses:thumbup: put the outside part of the spring in to the plastic housing and keep working the spring in whilst rotating the plastic housing round and maintaining pressure with your thumbs on both sides of the spring - you need big hands and four of them but take it easy until the last part goes in - I'm not koking about the glasses either - get the end of one of these springs in your eye and you will know about it:thumbdown:
-
That will be a 266 SG then - it must have heated handles if it is an SG - the SE didn't. Brake bands - part No - 501 83 02-01 shares the same part as the Husky 61 - at least you have a bit of quality in your workshop at long last - think you need a second hand one:thumbup:
-
That is very possible - worth checking next time it happens - probably the filter is sitting out of the fuel a bit and dragging up air instead of fuel making it rev up. If it isnt that then it could be a number of carb issues or a slight air leak - just depends if it does it when level as well!
-
:lol:
-
Must have been a sloppy bar then! More training needed:001_tt2:
-
Cheers Barrie and perhaps you can show Rich how to sharpen chains and check and dress bars on Huskys:001_rolleyes:
-
Just hope the guy comes back and asks you to fix it Rich, it will keep you quiet for a while:lol:
