About as much as I like Anchovies!! -
No idea on the total sold but I have sometimes had 5 in from single customers, 2-3 from many.......I buy 20 off chain catchers at a time and most need them! TBH they have been a good model for me once I got my head round all their little foibles! I went through peak weeks of 4-6 in per week and that was pretty usual! It is just the way it is....cult saw, many love it and want the saw gone over completely and thoroughly!

I don't know who "Frank" is but I agree...museum piece!

Stick a load of carb cleaner down the AC air intake and lob a match in to the car - that will sort it.....just make sure you can afford another car.....and run fast!
-
I think he is taking it to me and am happy to sort it out. I think, like most 200ts, it has had a life and will probably benefit from a strip, clean inspect and rebuild but will reserve judgement until he passes it over. I wonder how many of these I have done over the years, must be 500 or so, perhaps more.

Take a look at the gap between the rear of the cylinder and the air box partition. At the bottom of the back end of the cylinder, there will be a pipe going on to a brass union. If the pipe is flapping, get some forceps or tweezers and push it back on. This is the impulse line and it is connected to the carb. You don't need to remove the carb to do this. Also check the cylinder bolts that hold the cylinder down are tight, If they are loose, you will need to remove it and reseal as I believe I dropped your base gasket!
-
OK, yes, I remember, I think you picked up the 280 and the 461 that I split and did the crank on. Just PM me if you want it done. It is probably the carb and I fix the vast majority of them. It would probably benefit from a full rebuild but choice is yours. Just PM me if interested.
-
Whats wrong with the 441 now?
-
You need a T bar type....like this one - it has a nice step in the socket head to stop the nut disappearing up it...
-
They put RFID microchips in goods to make the control of inventory easier and more accurate. It is quite possible the outer carton will have these RFID chips in them but in the actual vaccine....you are having a laugh. Whats the point when Google knows what I was up to three years ago, how many miles I have driven/walked, cities I have visited and it really isn't that interesting TBH! If the Government can't stop fly tipping and immigrants coming in to the country, is it likely they can micro manage the movements of 60m people! I do have a copy of George Orwells 1984 on its way after Guy Martin recommended it...Animal Farm was a good read!
-
Who do you work for? I am taking it that you are Hitchin in Herts? I am asking as you are local to me!
-
No, the only popular saws have been Husqvarna and Stihl with a following of Makita, Echo and Dolmar. Poulan and Partner are relatively rare and Jonsered seemed to fade away after Electrolux took over Husqvarna and never really came back when they broke away from Electrolux. The saws you have may be OK for weekend logging or farming but are old and old saws have old issues!
-
No, just the sprocket drum and the oiler pinion worm
-
I got a kit with a pressure gauge and cylinder to do mine a few years ago in an old Renault Scenic....it worked fine. I would assume the smell was like what a schoolboy would call an "eggy fart"
-
Got to agree, I reckon the 7 pin will rob the saw of torque on a 14" bar but may be faster on a 12" bar. If you don't use the full bar length in the cut then it may work but my thinking is most climbers want a fast, non bogging precision cut and I would normally stick with a 6 pin.
-
Yup, the carb is a Zama ZO11 and happens to have "RB51" on it and Zama use "RB" to denote a carb kit hence the confusion. The metering diaphragm looks like the early C1Q ones used on the Stihl 020T and others, that is a common part as will be all the metering parts as many of the Zama and Walbro carbs use the same parts - no need to reinvent the wheel on each type of carb! Looks like Ratman beat me to it.
-
80psi is good for the first pull, 120 isn't great but as long as that 80 is correct, your compression shouldn't be the issue as the machine fires on the first pull and this model never makes top compression figures. Will be interesting to see how the new coil goes.
-
One of the most used Zama carbs are the C1Q type
-
As Mr Rat said, many Zama carbs use the same parts. Looks like a Zama RB kit would work for you.
-
Not being funny but I have never read the manual and have rebuilt a few hundred of these machines. I only read the manual when I am well and truly stumped and it rarely happens nowerdays....the joys of being an old fart!!
-
The metering arm springs tend to compress causing the needle valve to leak. Try changing the needle and spring.
-
And me, keep us posted.
-
So the heat is definitely the issue.....just depends if it is killing compression or spark You could close up the plug gap as a test, try 0.25mm, it will make it easier to get a spark. Not a solution but may help to determine if it is the coil or top end. Looks like a hot compression test and regapping the coil and plug may give you the info to fix it
-
The hot compression will be interesting, 130 on one pull when cold is very good but if a saw runs and revs well when cold then not start when hot, it may be the coil. Try closing up the gap a little, I have seen old flywheels lose their magnetism before. Have you checked the fuel tank breather? This can give running issues, bogging and lack of power after a bit of running. The simple way is to drain the fuel tank, pull the fuel pipe off the carb and use a Mityvac on the fuel tank on vac setting to see if the breather is allowing in air.
