Yep 256 can take 1/4 sprocket at 10" panther bar. Think its the same one that's in my 2511 that fits. Chainsawbars.co.uk will know - but I think it's not the same bar mount as duc254 which has the tensioner in a fractionally different place ( sigh ) . Chainsaw bars sell the sprockets and I think it's the same as a stihl electric 1/4 sprocket ( same on duc 254 245 and back handle duc.) Tbh though its doesnt give a faster cut just smoother. Dont think the leccy saws have the chain speed available to make a difference in speed ( unlike the 1/4 conversion on a 2511)

Took mine to auto parts place and they had loads in stock. Think it's pretty standard part. Possibly off a Vauxhall as well ( think some of these run isuzu 3 pots)
-
Nikasil looks ok on the pot. Any good places for rings? Only seem to be cheapos from China on Ebay or cabers from the states
-
Have not checked but will do so
-
Just answered my own question! Thanks for help so far! Piston skirt doesnt seem to rock much
-
Well with the ring pushed square down the bore an inch I can fit the feeler gauge which says 100 on it through the smallest part of the gap and that's the biggest one I have. Think that means 1mm gap as its .05mm to 1mm guage so reckon that means worn right?
-
It's a mahle piston, perhaps it looks big in that pic, I didnt notice it as being that big before. Ring doesnt look over worn either tbh.
-
Any help appreciated. Shall I get a 350 piston?
-
Update on this troublesome 346. Got a new meteor piston today. Doesnt fit. Turns out it has a 350 pot and piston on it, so that's annoying. Is this a common swop?

I'm really bad at keeping track but 4 to 5 days

billpierce started following A fox

Had wee commission to make this as a memorial for a book shop owner (shop called slightly foxed) in berwick. Few pics start to finish. Made the specs from some old chain links.

Thanks bmp! Going to swop pistons out
-
Sorry seem to be missing posts dont know why. Have tried a 357 coil and swapped the carbs and still the same so piston swop next!
-
Nah think they are still desirable just the last few I have sold (back handle 201 and back handle 200) did not really get any interest above £200. I guess if I had a choice of new smaller echos or used 200 (especially if it was £300 ) for carving I know which way I'd lean

Thankyou for the thorough reply. Have done an awful lot of those things, but still more to do. Will let you know how I get on
