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.

Spalted beech stair treads I made a while back

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)
-
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

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
-
Kinda lost faith in my gunson, it constantly reads low - even on saws that run perfect. Had the top off no real sign of wear, decent Mahle piston and pot, ring doesnt look worn. There was a bit brown residue on the piston which I have cleaned off, deleted base gasket and put back together,m - sadly no different. I have ordered meteor piston to try
-
oh and get a 1/4 carving bar not 3/8
