I notice its got a pussycat. I assume I should remove that, add about an 8mm-10mm hole to the muffler, pop the flywheel and shave 0.25mm off the key, refit, pop the limitters and then twiddle the high screw out a bit?

 
Beautiful work, Bill. I love wolves, they're my favourite animal and this is a beautiful sculpture! I need to find some money so i can have you carve one for me too! [emoji56]

I did a couple of them Bill, you will need to make a few bits.
 
Barrels are basically the same but the exhaust ports are a different shape and size.

 

 
The exhaust is Stihl no 11241400604, comes in two bits
 

 

 
You will need to get a couple of long m5 bolts in the two lower muffler holes which need to go on before you bolt the back part of the muffler onto the barrel, then make up two spacer tubes with two small tabs to pick up on the forward original exhaust muffler supports. Thats about it.
 

 

Nice one Bill, 

The foals look like they know their stuff.

Havent been in the carving for a while, just done this. First carving I have done where I havent been on the sanding for hours which was nice. Had quite a bit help from the foals.

Facing the same problem. I know this was a while back but how did you get on Bob?

Any particular Pfanners you recommend to get/steer clear of?

If your into light and whizzy get a 2511 wes.

I've found the makitas good, but heavier than the stihl and husky alternatives.

Just if you want something lighter that ms241 I dont think the ea4300 will sort you out. Good saw tho

I assume the assenders tuck in beside the spur? Do they not get in the way once you start spring? 

Another schliesing mick ?? Just picked up a 235 to replace a 220 and can’t fault either... I would not go back to another make.

I've got a grcs with a damaged winch possibly for sale , from what I can make out it is only a few broken bits of plastic in the drum , it's been replaced wit a complete unit  and was keeping a spare incase of a technical takedown and looking at repairing the drum  but will never in reality get round to it . What would a back plate bollard and damaged winch be worth to anyone ? 

I was given a florabest one. Only used it on 25" plus metalled/stoned chains. Died before I got to replace the disc and wildly inaccurate. Probably ok for very occasional home owner use, if you dont care about getting the chain absolutely stinging sharp.

Got one of these

You done much with the woodlands yet ??. 
Yesh I’m looking forward to getting it going and getting some money back off it. 
Did you try that fix on the land cruiser box ??

Looks the business dave. Look forward to some pics of it in action

084 not revving up, limiter is coming in at 10.5k. Unacceptable. Is it new coil o'clock or worth trying something else?

Heard 660 coils can be modded and fitted. 084 coils are a pain to get though there are a few ont'ebay

Have a Google on the hidden L screw, if they are the same a 550xp's there is a brass blank on the carb that you can knock out to reveal a screw which you can adjust. Can sort idle issues out particularly

Aye, I wear my harness pretty low, below my hips. Never really found a harness that doesnt fall down or when done up tighter isnt comfy tbh.

The braces definatley help alot, especially when hanging bigger saws of your harness, but the TM one seems a bit of an arse to take off.

Get sore hips with the TM. Which seems to be turning into sciatica sometimes. Worse when on stems and spikes.

Anyways, bought the tm shoulder straps to alieviate this and much more comfortable. But very annoying to put on and off? Am I missing something? Cant see to put them on like a pair of braces once in the harness, have to put the lot over my head and clip to back hoop.

Well tidy that. Bet it took a bit of scribing.

Cant beat the double battery back handle saw for price, especially if you already have some batteries. Totally different to the single battery top handle one

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)

My experience is measuring at the base of the bore and never seen 40 thou on any machine. That is massively worn!!! 7-15 is fairly typical with 20 on a well used old machine being normal!

The cheapest fix would be to get a decent quality piston...OEM, Meteor, Hyway, Episan and fit that making sure it is set to rev as a 350 would be. Check the plating is still good on the bore and lightly hone to accept the new piston.

 

 

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
