My burning question is, did the 084 do the job or is it back go me sometime soon:001_rolleyes: The other one is did Martin take a load of wood Way to fly tip on my drive like the last lot! Nice job

It is all about chain speed, chain setup and torque in the cut. If the saw has a sell set up chain, the saw pulls decent top end revs and the torque is enough to keep the chain speed high in the cut then the saw will be good. You need go see which element was missing and deal with it!

No worries - ask Stubby or terry tibbs what they reckon on my work:thumbup:

Meteor are Italian and are the best quality after the original OEM part but at a fraction of the cost. I have fitted many and never had any issues, they are fitted with quality Caber rings and have nothing but praise for them and well worth the extra money IMO. As Rich says, make sure the cylinder is good and if the saw has seized at some stage, make sure the reason is sought and fixed before using the saw.

Either that or pushing it in with a decent set of long nose pliers. I ALWAYS make sure the things are 100% seated in the groove as well - use a magnifying glass and inspection torch - a bit anal about it but wouldn't like one popping out:blushing:

It's like this - the outside gets a bit beat up like an old suitcase but inside you are still around 15 years old - I have yet to find out if everybody is still as stupid inside as they were when they were 15 or if it is just me:blushing: I say that some will walk by a colleague stooping down in front of them without a thought and some will think "I wonder what will happen if i give his arse a good kick and then run like hell".....guess which I am:blushing:

Cheers and all true - had some fun and met a few people - Burrell dropped off the last lot - cheers M8 and MattyF just offered me some today....but I do them favours on saw repairs and reciprocation is a good policy!

Andy - the Husky rims are 19mm and 23mm in internal diameter - the 357 has the 19mm int dia rim, you just remove one and slide on the other on the same clutch drum. The 3/8 7 pin rim is larger than the 0.325 7 pin but smaller than the 0.325 8 pin. I may try using my 357 on a 3/8 chain - it would handle it as it has a bit more go then standard:blushing: Just looked at my stash of parts and not finding fault m8

Firstly, nothing is free but you can be resourceful:thumbup: The first lump of free wood I got was a fallen oak limb a farmer had dragged out of his field and left on a large grass verge - it had grass and brambles growing through it so was going nowhere. Got me thinking and found another large oak limb in another ditch - asked at the farm and they said - "fill your boots, you are doing us a favour"......a few beers for the farm Manager later:thumbup: Had another massive oak bough from the same farmer WITH his permission....followed by a bit from freecycle, family, friends, local ditches - fallen wood NEVER trespassing though!!! I then got in to the servicing of chainsaws and get a bit of wood there - it's who you know. So in short - get yourself a chainsaw and be prepared to get to know local land owners and others that you may be able to clear any fallen wood for - don't be too fussy - a lump of connie or poplar still burns:biggrin: Pinching arbs cut wood off the side of the road is taking the proverbial as is trespassing on others property and taking wood from others land is theft!! Most Farmers won't mind you clearing their ditches of fallen timber though:thumbup: It's all graft but a bit of hunting and gathering is good for the soul but keep it legal!

I'm doing Burrell a ported 372XP as well:thumbup: nice saws, third one I will have done - weening him off Stihl bit by bit:lol:

You sound like Burrell, same comments about wear on body parts so goes for a 357XP that I ported for him and on some OMG big stuff as it is light, powerful and has better AV. Think the jury has made a decision

Just depends on where the saw has been tuned to in the past. If it is a little lean on a big bar then it may well go bang on a small bar - just depends on the situation

Smaller bar, less drag, if it has been set for a 2-3' bar, it will over rev and potentially seize, that is what I warned of in my earlier post. I generally tune fat on the top end if a big saw has a smaller than usual bar fitted!

My thoughts - it will be fun for 5 minutes, just long enough for the weight to kick in and for you to realize it isn't really cutting any faster than a 346XP:thumbup:

Just watched the video - the dude was a member on this site, asked me some pretty basic questions on setting up carbs and called himself ChainsawDoctor:001_rolleyes: As Bill says - he has left the H & L screws in, this may stop the cleaning fluid penetrating the cavity and also stop the exit of any lifted dirt - the cleaner looks like a cheap one. Can't see it making him too much money!

It doesn't say how powerful the cleaner is, the cleaning agent or if it is heated. All you dudes that have sent saws to me in the past three months have been heated and blasted in a high power unit with specific carb cleaning agent that de-greases and dissolves resin:thumbup:

See if Gustharts can get one in for you - pretty good service in the past:thumbup:

Try This - http://www.bethnchris.com/files/chainsaws/sachsdolmar/116si_IPL.pdf Oregon part - rim sprocket 27189X will fit as will Spur sprocket - 38075X

Strange - you normally notice a far quicker pickup and heavier fourstroking where the saw would normally top out allowing higher maximum revs.

The latest MS200T, looks like it has seen some life but compression is good, going to give it a full refurb and port/tune. A number of parts on order and now looking a fair bit cleaner: -

Thats one minging piston - like the garnish of needle rollers - just need a jus of carbon crap - bloody cooking programs:001_rolleyes:

A dodgy piston will look like this: -

Call me Mr Thicky but your air injection duct is on back to front - that thing that looks like a mini tuba should be facing toward the rear handle. Is this melting on the cylinder? Can you take a better picture of that piston - difficult to tell what it is like. If it has many scored lines running vertical across the surface through the exhaust port then it is shot!

Hope you beveled the exhaust port:001_rolleyes: Those transfers look interesting, reckon those can be cleaned up:thumbup:

Must be one on ebay, worth seeing if other saws share the same coil!
