<p>Hi Andy,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Burrell (Martin) is the mechanic to my really stupid ideas - he turns, mills and welds anything I throw at him - usually in a haze of bad language:-)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looking at it I would expect you to be dead right - £10 buys you about 30 mins on a good day!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p> </p>

Always worth holding a stock of gasket paper or hard to find gaskets. Once made a complete crankcase gasket Always useful when tuning saws as well

Had a few of these - decent small machines, the carbs on the ones I had were slide valves so the mix is adjusted by the needle height in the slide valve - bit like the carbs on motorcycles. I would personally just strip the carb down and give it a good clean as a starting point. If the engine won't pull past mid revs then it is either lacking fuel or too much air - possible air leak. Try running without an air filter and see if it makes it better of worse - if it makes it worse then you are running lean. Other than that - one I had, had a bad plug cap that would give you a nasty nip if you touched it!

The wifes got one of those duplex kidney thingys - only found out when she had a kidney infection a year ago!

You on drugs or alchohol M8:blushing: Hope it all works out in the end after re-habilitation:thumbup:

Keep drinking the water...welcome to the club, one week and I am pretty much better now:thumbup:

It is the OIL hose Rich needs, Part - 1117 647 9401 Billsmowers link looks like the right one or I am sure Rich may come up with a suitable alternative - always more than one way to skin a cat:thumbup:
-
Ah, not the same listing:001_rolleyes:
-
Aw crap, can't be a good feeling but guess you savour the successes and try to forget the failures - you can't get them all. Your life expectency isn't particularly high in water this time of year without some kind of flotation suit:thumbdown:
-
Found that - no UK Shipping:thumbdown:

Got about 1 & 1/2 log stores of conifer seasoning, only drawback is the resin but it burns well and will kick out a fair bit of heat and for free - doesn't get much better. You can mix it with a bit of hard wood if you want it to last a little longer.

You should learn to use Google Rich:001_rolleyes:......http://www.manuals4u.com.au/?paiddownloads_id=141 looks like part 1117 647 9401 and looks obsolete to me:thumbdown: Think it is one to modify something else to fit - not too bad. Just read your RLNI thread, stirling work - shame you didn't find the guy but lets hope it was a hoax! Good luck:thumbup:

Just getting over an upper urinary tract infection, I sympathize about the pain and the loo becomes a friend! The worst bit is sitting on the loo, pissing standing up makes you pass out, and then pissing a thimble full and wanting to go again is the worse. Antibiotics and a week necking water sorted mine and am awaiting for the sample to be analyzed! Good luck M8
-
Possibly - I have told a few on here over a while! Good luck for getting it fixed, these old saws can be dificult to find parts - had similar with Burrells 298XP recently and he fixed it whilst on the phone to me with a bit of help...perhaps another service to offer ....098 calls - will have to get the wife to do it - and add the "smear grease on the shaft" line:blushing:

Isn't Aspen a breakfast cereal....Oh sorry, thats Alpen:lol: Not sure of the build on this pump but there is one trick I know that may help but that will come after you have gone through all the normal checks on the pipes, filter, worm drive etc What am I up to....recovering from a bit of a medical glitch and two conversions to..............Aspen:thumbup:
-
Personally I think it is the other way round - why is everything you touch a drama Rich, can't we get a straight fix once in a while:001_rolleyes:
-
It should do - one good reason why I pressure and vac test but difficult to do for the general owner to do.
-
The fuel tank vent is a short pipe with two grub screws inserted in to it. That one is the oil tank vent or at least it will be on an 048 - it probably has a through hole through to the oil tank!
-
It is the same one as on the 026 and others, aluminium with an O ring around it and small hole in the middle which is a one way valve - looks to be near the recoil side airbox cover mounting screw or possibly pushed in to the handle in the gap between the handle and recoil cover but less likely!
-
Hi Rich, the IPL makes it look like part 1128 640 9100 and is somehow pushed in to the oil tank around the oil and fuel caps, try just under the airbox cover and if not there, around the gap between the caps and the recoil cover - guess it may be under the recoil cover but thats your area! The part number is the standard Stihl oil tank vent. Had one of these saws once - big heavy bugger:lol:

You are better off using the Husqvarne clip - only about £3 - I have used jubillee clips and have had issues. Sometimes the rubber takes an hour or two to settle and make a full seal and generally leaks around where the original clip has been lopped off - too long and it stops the clip clamping the rubber and too short - it has the opposite effect.
-
Usual issues on the 357XP are the decomps on EPA models where there is, unusually, NO decomp button and also the carb inlet manifold and its clip, did yours have the metal clip? This was a modification and generally done badly by many mechs, it can cause air leaks - worth checking as is the throttle linkage isn't fouling on the rubber grommet it passes through between the top cover and rear handle. Other than that, it should settle down pretty quick on 1 turn on each.

Had some Burrell kindly donated and it has gone from a deep orangy red like red cedar to a much lighter sandy orange now it has dried out.

I thought the tissues were to stem the blood if the other half caught him with a big dirty chainsaw on their coffee table. Either that or to clean the oil of the said table:001_rolleyes: My other half would do her crust if one found it's way that deep in to the house:lol:

A socket and tommy bar are generally all a MS260 needs IMO, the only ones I hammer are the Husqvarna ones without the hex nut moulded in to the central boss. By the way - right handed thread, clockwise to take it off and use the stihl double ended plastic piston stop. To check it just remove the circlip of the end of the crankshaft, remove the clutch drum and then try to move the clutch shoes and see if they sit relatively loose on the central boss! There should be little to no play but will still work when very worn:blushing:
