Blower stripped down to the last bolt now. Its got me a bit puzzled? all looks in good condition and no play in bearings, seals seem tight but ill test when rebuilt. Only thing is the build up of carbon in the exhaust and the crown of the piston. Going to give it all a thorough clean up with new rings - cos I broke one and see if its any better. I wonder if it was a large piece of carbon rattling round in the exhaust? going to have to retune the carb its obviously been running too rich or the owner has been putting too much oil in the mix.

Its a crankcase splitter Spud.

Thanks Ray, there doesn't seem to be any play or very little - I will inspect further. MM

I have been given a bg85 to look at for friend, he says it sounds really bad. Anyway when I got it felt the compression with the pull cord - seemed fine. Started it first time, but with a really metally rattling sound that sounded like a bearing had failed. so switched it off right away. I have started stripping it down but so far the piston looks clean with no play up or down and the all seems fine with the bearings and seals, however the exhaust is full of crud - as its a sealed unit its not going to be too easy to clean, I think im going to soak it in petrol- give a few taps with an hammer and blast with airline. Do you think that this could be causing the horrible metal knocking sound? im sure it will contribute to the irratic running- with too much back pressure. Ill continue the strip down......
-
Good point to make Rob. I can see how the crud hampers movement and cleaning and lubrication helps, But from you're pic it doesn't look that bad at all just a bit dusty? I would expect it to be packed with crap before it makes a difference, like spud says you regularly see on 200 t's. Or was it worse than it looked.

Ah I was trying to find the other thread but I think Alec's answered your question
-
Is there not any wood working shops nearby? an industrial thicknesser would be best imo. Im sure there has been another thread on this?
-
Greenmech do them, or depending where you are your closest dealer may be able to do them.
-
No thanks. Who wants them horrible images in their mind?
-
I'll second that- lime - Tilia
-
Ill look forward to it.
-
did he also specify cutting the trunk up with a two man push pull saw? ha ha
-
-
Most main dealers have second hand chippers for sale.
-
Id agree with Pete there, doesn't look like it would be worth the hassle. good firewood!
-
Good point Larry, I have seen this and is frustrating/confusing. Handy if you have a spare coil to try.
-
Was that on the house he is having another floor put on?
-
I really wouldn't worry about the wood rotting away. The black staining could have been caused by any number of fungi that can affect beech. Now the wood is cut up and under cover the required conditions for any further decay will diminish and any chance of spread to other wood is not possible because there are no fruiting bodies for sporulation and the oak will not present any better opportunity for the fungus anyway.
-
Could of been worse! - could have been bending over forwards
-
No get it chopped up and dried and it will be fine.
-
Ok im just here to correct you He says the compression is 105 not 150 so it is low as you were
-
It takes a couple of hundred years to degrade. good point
-
I have now been told on good authority that a tree which is located on unregistered land is the responsibility of the LA. Whether the LA has an obligation to do the land search is another question but if this evidence were presented to them they can take action.
-
Wouldn't that cause it to run lean?
-
Must admit ive been a bit disappointed with these. I think they are a great idea however you seem to have to use a lot to kill the stump and most cases they struggle.
