Sanatogen and an Ibubrofen chaser may be tops with the elderly.

Yes L&S for OEM parts. Check the flywheel inner boss that the pawl contacts with, if it is badly worn or covered in crap.....possible cause. You can fit the double spring retainer and twin pawls as in the MS460 but tbh...it shouldn't be necessary. Double check that the pawl is extending fully when you pull the starter handle slowly....with the cover off otherwise you won't see it🙄

Blimey Z1300, that brings back a few memories. Wasn't there a mad Dutch man that would wind one up on the motorway and leap off the back on clogs clinging on to the passenger grab rail on the back. Carl Nyqnvist or something similar,

No worries, we have lived through the cold war together so all this shyte is just the modern way of doing the same. The world will be better off without humans on it anyway. Happy days are here again😉...always look on the bright side of life....etc

That's alright isn't it, you are keeping someone in employment when you litter the countryside don't you, it is a good thing isn't it...bloody feckers need shooting, who the hell brought these cheesy knobends in to this world and told them so little about how to conduct themselves. We do the village litter-pick and someone round here has a serious addiction to vodka and Redbull judging by the amount of both brands in our ditches!

It is not getting better, can't make out where it will end. Been on two walks recently, one we couldn't go any further as two wooden bridges hadn't been repaired for 2.5 years. Again today...a bird hide blocked off with a wooden barrier because the wooden walkway had a few planks missing....great, lets spend £10 on stopping access rather than fixing it so everyone can use it and enjoy it. Not looking good for the future if this is the best we can do.

Razor blades were stopped some time ago...that is the double edged safety type. I used to get most of mine off the bay but can't now. -
They used to but not now. Husqvarna now own McCulloch, Jonsered, Gardena, Poulan etc etc and Husqvarna are a stand alone company.

OK, good call, just hope you never use a 550XP or 560XP and then realise why these saws are 5 times the cost.
-
But it isn't orange and thought budget wasn't an issue!
-
25cc needing a decomp valve...blimey, try a 1970s McCulloch!
-
Did that fella ever get a chopper for his wood, perhaps a bit of a red herring and never had any intention of getting his dabs on a saw.
-
Coppicing often means revving flat out near max revs rather than at around 9,000 as normal. What sort of oil was it running and was it fresh mix.
-
Just so you know, the software will tell you what the carb is set to on the high and low circuits. If it is running excessively rich on both, it means you probably have an air leak. Some techs using the software may not have worked that out....that is the polite version!!

Ah, Plogs, how I miss him👍

This is a very old thread but you will find that most chainsaws have an oiling pinion/worm that rotates freely on the crank shaft and this is driven by the clutch engaging on the clutch drum this spinning the pinion that operates the oil pump and only when the chain is spinning unlike vintage saws that often oiled all the time. Not sure how else a saw would oil only when the chain is spinning but it is a pretty much universally adopted concept.
-
Sounds like the throttle mechanism is sticking open a bit. Easy to see, pop the top cover off, look at the mechanism on the right side of the carb (closest to the clutch side), open and close the throttle, open the throttle and close it very slowly and see if it closes fully immediately. You can start the machine and do the same then close the actual carb mechanism with your finger and if it works fine if you push it shut, check/lubricate the cable and mechanism plus clean the airbox area. It is possible it has an air leak in the seals or around the cylinder front transfer ports but the autotune masks these pretty well. Plugging it in to the factory software can show if this is the case but check the throttle first, especially if someone has stripped it recently.

Been told this is ash and cedar……

That is a very good call, fluid is near impossible to compress unlike gas (not fuel if you are American). I could tell you why this is but people do glaze over most of the time😉 The cause will be a leaking needle valve in the carb.
-
What is your budget? Have you tried your local charity shops? Is this a serious question🙄
-
Where are you located?

Sorry, well out of the game now☹️

My mistake, I always get that wrong.....blade, not bar, blade, blade, blade..........

Thanks, much appreciated.

What a cock, surprised he isn't grasping the bar!!
