Hedgsparrow beat me to it ......

Looks more like a Park Ray than a conventional free standing wood burner . Back boiler possibly ? Inset type . Some kind of blockage me thinks .
-
Love it . Life is tooooo short to think any other way !
-
:lol::lol::lol:how long you been a miner then jon ?
-
All the same except California models .
-
Yep split in fuel line will make it run lean . Fuel filter is in tank dangling on the end of said fuel line . Six weeks is pushing it a bit ,six months is asking for trouble me thinks . Bummer abut chain brake going on . You might be able to hold it in a vice , between two blocks of wood and insert something in the mech and rotate it to reset it .

What I thought .

O.K. spud will confirm later but what it sounds like to me is possibly old fuel or wrong mix? or possibly air leek making it lean . All this needs to be addressed before rebuilding or you will be back were we are now . If the bore looks not too bad then you need to clean off all the aluminum that has transferred from the old piston . Spud will tell you the best method . He will also advise on the best after market piston if you can't get / afford an OEM one . All is mnot lost !!

Used to by second hand Huskys from U.S. and Canada back when it was almost $2 to £1 but not worth it any more . CE stickers you don't get . California only saws are restricted even more than ours and are pants really ( I had a 338 once and even though they upped the capacity to 45cc it could not pull the skin of a rice pudding ) I think EPA is the us standard like our CE mark . Of course as soon as you mod a saw all stickers are null and void !!!!!

Who is going to prove otherwise and how ?
-
Read the first line and it mentions " the stop of illegally logged wood " . As long as you are legal is there a problem ?
-
Never considered vibes so don't think it can be any worse , may even be smoother
-
would you need a tracked one or is it all easy land ?
-
The biggest ugliest mother you can afford !
-
Who me ??

Yea Steve it is a new model . They designed it Wednesday , built the prototype today and are in production tomorrow ............
-
Its got that unmistakable Chinese back handle that they all have . Thing is you can't get in touch with potential bidders so someone is going to get shafted , and m,maybe will never realize it just accepting that this is what a Stihl saw is like .
-
If you were using old fuel it might not have lubed properly and you m,ay have lost compression . Check all the obvious like air filter , fuel filter , spark plug . If its non of those take the exhaust can off and check the condition of the piston by looking through the exhaust port .
-
Possibly .... Was 60 last week but to be honest I don't have a problem filing . You know when a file has a good " bite" to it and when one starts to "skate" I could file all day ( boring I know ) if it was sharp . Worn files are hard work .
-
Oh yes its fine on a standard saw . When Steve has worked his magic a standard saw feels as though there is something wrong with it !
-
Yep . I run my 346 on a 15" bar .325 pitch and full chisel . It is driven by an 8pin rather than a standard 7pin but mine has been ported by spud so has considerably more beans .
