Worth checking l and s engineers as they had some well cheap bigger bars a while ago

Have had a standard 8lb splitting maul for last 10 years. Just got an x27 for Christmas and can confirm how good they are. Very significantly better at splitting than anything I have used to date. Time will tell how they last but so far very impressed

I have a couple tirfor and jet hoist both good. But only comes on huge jobs. Mostly just grab the ratchet winch bit like lugall style winch. Easy to move about and use. Worth a look anyway https://www.theratchetshop.com/winches-pulleys/mini-hand-ratchet-puller/2000kg-x-2-3m-mini-hand-ratchet-puller.html

You very welcome to buy my husqvarna 320 electric saw (2000w) with 18" Oregon bar for 50quid if you want a decent electric saw. Good luck I'd be interested in how you get on. Personally I wouldn't invest in ripping chain and new bars and oilers etc until you have had a bit of a go. -
Don't mean to be a downer but it will be a seriously painful process milling with a small electric saw. I have a 2000w husqvarna electric saw which I really really wouldn't consider milling with. It is awful on anything over 6 inch. Can you move the bits of wood to somewhere you can use a 90cc or larger saw?

Fairly sure there was one which had exactly the same innards and power as a 346xp? Thanks
-
Thanks for the help. Did the flywheel side and holds a vac nicely now. Was a pita. Made a little hook tool from an old tiny screw driver as couldn't find my awl. Took a while to do carefully.
-
Ok and worth bothering with getting a puller tool or just careful wood screw technique?
-
Yup flywheel crank seal it is..... Worth doing both or just one? Thanks!
-
Have a 028 super on the bench. Just fitted new piston, as it was goosed. Cylinder cleaned up nice. It runs sweet for 5 mins then starts screaming it's head off. So I suspect crank seals. Pressure tests fine but won't hold a vacuum. Tips on locating a vac leak please? Grease?
-
I've seen them on some saws and not on others....doubt it will do any harm having one on. Worth filling the cylinder with starter cord and doing the nut up well. Just sheared the flywheel key on a saw not doing it up tight enough
-
I was just thinking that! Post a pick of it!
-
Thanks dudes, just made up a base gasket for a 028super as it fell to bits. Spanner trick worked good for cutting outer edge and had to use scissors for inside. Far so good.
-
Great tip, thanks will give it a shot
-
Might be worth greasing them on the outside see if it temporarily returns the idle to normal? At least you know if that's see where the issue is..... I messed about with a 660 hutzl crank case with oem carb and covers recently, saw would only run with idle screw right in. Was a total wind up.....got pretty scared of threading everything. After half a day I just gave it back to the fella ( who had bought it thinking it was all genuine 660 [emoji34]). Good luck! Let us know how you get on!
-
Will have to give that a shot
-
What is it for? What bar length will you want to run?
-
Probably some folk think it's quite an important issue and we are involved in that line of work. Quite interesting for us to think about and discuss it I would say!
-
Damn right
-
Thanks guys. I presume that carb gasket depth etc is less important than base gasket? I guess base gasket depth has to pretty close to original spec?
-
So just in case anyone else is reading this thread. Found some help on Oregon bar id on chainsawbars.co.uk in the pic I showed it's the first few numbers which are interesting 138. First 2 numbers are length 13inch. Second is gauge so 8 is .058 3 is .063 0 is .050 The above bar is 50 links meybs the 50 on the bar means that ( I had assumed it meant .050 gauge)
-
Anyone make there own? Any tips? Just orderd a load of gasket paper of various thicknesses. Not really trying to save money more the inconvenience of ordering bits in if broken or I break
-
Excellent project look forward to seeing how this goes. Dan is the 361 still going ok?
