Ill give them a bell. Thanks

I have no idea about a55. Possibly the same?

Disappointingly, the crank on my A60T let go yesterday. I'd like to scour the hive mind for anybody experience getting replacement parts or alternative engine swops. Any help or suggestions of people who may help greatfully recieved.

How old is the 661. I'd guess it's siezed. And will run when cold but looses compression when hot and the pot has expanded. First thing I'd do is remove exhaust and inspect piston.
-
Yeah it's been great. Dead handy and just right for the amount of use it gets off me.

Good few days on the mill for a customer, mostly oak, alot oversized, tiny bit scots, ash and elm.

I've topped up loads of engines with mixed oil or slightly different oils to reccomended ( often pd engines) Whilst I'm hesitant ro actually reccomend it, it hasn't caused any issues yet I def wouldn't be worrying about different brand oils

Mostly like the h needle will want richening as will run to lean and sieze without adjustment.

I have, really appreciated the lanyard breaking not pulling me with the 200t to the ground. Was a decent size sycamore limb that just nipped the saw in the kerf. Only happened the once mind.

Have you tried andrew? Or miles machinery or l and s have makita parts I think

How vital is the exhaust gasket on my 357xp?
billpierce replied to Joe Newton's topic in Maintenance help
Probs get away with it if needs must. But knowing my luck it would melt some vital plastics or rattle loose and thread the exhaust bolt hole on the cylinder. -
Where's folks getting their reels from? Chains direct are sold out of 75dpx (3/8 0.063 semi) , which is cheapest I've found it.

Alex, I often overload my small isc floating bollard. I use either a dyneema whoopee which will cinch up with just a big dan on until it's nipped right up or 16mm double braid deadeye with a timber hitch - again just setting it all up tight as can be. You get a bit of slop after the first few heavies but certainly not shin to chest level. Like 1ft tops

I replaced my exhaust with a cheapo chinese one. Just because my orm was knackered. Didn't notice a difference tbh, but always loved that saw. Best thing i did was sticking a 9pin sprocket off a 440 on with a 18" .325 bar it cut very well.

Are they stretchy?
