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?

What s the contact for echo then?

What 4x4 van you got?

Most cost effective way of running a 28" bar.

Spect 24 inch bar on yet 372 will do nearly all jobs? -
Well it's really appreciated....have learnt a lot about fettling saws from you and others on arbtalk for which I am very grateful
-
Stuck an old 13'' bar and chain had knocking around on. It's good but think years ago when I took it to my local moron husky dealer he stuck a 3/8 .050 chain on and expect it really wants a 3/8p 050 chain? I have Googled away and cannot find much from the Id Info on the bar, can anyone help? Cuts well but feels like the 3/8 is a bit too grabby

So unsurprisingly you were correct spud, gasket between carb boot and cylinder ( slightly awkward location) had slid down on one side, creating an at leak. Took it off and it broke, so made a one from cardboard ( probs a temporary fix?) Saw now running sweet as a nut, Just did 20mins firewooding with it and all good. Then heard the flywheel key shearing! Doh! Anyway managed to line it up good and all together and working a treat again now. So will need Flywheel key Chain catcher Carb boot gasket Can't stress how nice and easy this saw is to work on, loads of space and not fiddley at all. Unlike recent 550 I just sorted!

Agree was pretty disappointed with 125psi.....although do find that gauge a bit inaccurate. Also wasn't sure if it may change as the piston ring beds in. The cylinder required a reasonable amount of sanding with wet and dry paper to remove the transfer, so potentially I will need a new cylinder if things don't improve. Pretty sure the carb boot is good etc and all gaskets are new. I shall check and vac/pressure check soon Read that these are max rpm 15500 which seems quite a lot! 254xps are ace. Keep them going!
-
All back together now. Fitted new carb kit. Got it running. Not very sweetly though. Behaving a bit like a fake 660 a pal of mine gave me to fix recently. It ran but like a dog, revs took along time to come down from full, picked up nicely though. Idle was nearly impossible to get below 3500. The carb was set to 2 turns out on both h and l when I got it and doesn't run well at 1 turn out. Yet to vac test it but I suspect the cylinder may be shot as it's only getting to 125psi but unsure what it should be with a new piston. Will have to vac test it next

We use the term fatty quite a lot as a friendly term in our house. Particularly at our fat cat. I suffered badly as my 3 year old insisted on shouting this in a supermarket. And then shouted about how it wasn't rude, he is a fatty.........

What winter tyres are best for a Navara NP300?
billpierce replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Arb-Trucks
My hilux was similar. It does however mean they a very good off road, having the across axle diff lock. I believe the permanent 4wd on a landy means that the diff locks drive train front to back rather than side to side. Driven my tuck in a lot if snow and ice and mud and never had a bother with the selectable 4wd. If there is snow on the road the axle won't wind up, same if on a loose gravel track etc. Mazda maybe a bit different to hilux? -
Thanks for link! It's really weird stuff. I'll be back there next year as it should reoccur
