how much work has it done?
-
aye looks the same L and S do an oem one for 880 088 and 084
-
how bad is the shake in it? looks bad in first photo but hard to tell?
-
yes the cheap after market pistons on ebay say 088 084 and 880....mmmmm but prob not worth a punt for £25
-
which are the ones you can resharpen and has anyone had much luck doing it?
-
sure did! sigh. but it was cheap and had a 36'' bar and newish chain which i needed anyway.....why did they stop making parts?loosers. does a 088 piston fit?
-
did it refuse to die on the choke too?
-
thanks!
-
have a look about, there used to be grants knocking about for it i go mine free a while back. can't remember who through maybe northwoods, but there are various schemes for rural business development and forestry etc
-
really nobody knows?
-
ok well i was thinking of sticking a little 8 or 10" R7 sugi carving bar on the 230t.....can you get a sprocket in 1/4 or are they only 3/8LP for 222/230?.
-
yep but general rule of thumb for lots of untested chemicals straight in yer lungs is prob not a good idea right? not saying fags are better or worse or that there e cigs are bad - just be nice to have some good research on long term use BEFORE everyones at it right?
-
Lol i've just google nakanoto and silky images search and just got photos of you conny bashing! go on then why they better than gomotoro?
-
2 gaskets, a diaphram, a needle, lever and spring, maybe a "welch" plug and a gauze. i think they vary slightly
-
those mesh glasses do anything weird to your vision or just like normal mesh? prob a dumb question.....these look good too
-
anyone else know what there worth roughly? i don't know?
-
packed it in just before kid number 3 (about 7 months ago) and haven't smoked since (had a couple draws at party's etc but the taste is minging when you not used to it!) hard first two weeks now i donltthink about it at all unless at pub etc........just find myself getting bored quite often without them! sad eh?

Rowena Motors
-
i think i had a look and the 230 is smaller diameter, but have seen the dolmar 230 or similar sold with a carving bar on
-
i have a dolmar ps3410 which is a light 35cc pro saw. i was after an even lighter saw foe carving with maybe an 8'' or 10" R7 sugi bar. thanks though!
-
why do you like it better then? its a bit lighter right but less power? is the 280 a home user saw?
-
crab kits - Rowena motors as recommended by spud. and is worth a watch in terms of carb removal with simple tools
-
i have a 660 which is ok, but i would say ideally suited to 30'' or less if milling hardwoods. however you will get away with 36'' but i reckon its hard on them. make sure the oiler is turned up (can't think if they have them?) and i reckon every now and then let it run at half revs not pushing just to get a good bit of oil on the chain. sharp chain is the key!
-
never used danish oil, but did you put on too thick or was the wood quite green/wet - this can stop it penetrating? i have found osmo uv protection v good for outdoor stuff
-
got me an 084 with a duff piston, cylinder looks ok. any clues on where to get a meteor piston? i search of the web didn't come up with much. are they the same as early 880 and 088? have stihl completely discontinued parts for these or only some bits?
