I get the odd one of these coming in, but not often. Would be ok for me to sit on a shelf and draw spares from as and when to keep these old ones going

Well, it won't be carbon build up, because if it were then you would have the same issue with or without the plug fitted- removing the plug won't remove the carbon, so you can disregard that you said it might be earlier on. Re-fitting the plug is causing pressure within the engine due to compression- this could highlight a slight bend in the conrod (as I mentioned earlier) particularly as you don't know the history. If the previous owner has messed about removing the clutch or flywheel and it was particularly tight to remove, then 'locking' the piston from moving can easily bend a conrod- or a bent crank or failing bearing, which without pressure applied will rotate 'loosely but still in a circular motion-however will 'collapse' under any pressure 'load' if the race is worn so allowing the crank to rotate 'off centre' during pulling of the recoil

Did say they had taken it off to check the air gap on the coil.

Banana conrod?

Incorrect plug length? Flooding due to low compression and hydraulic lock? Is the plug wet through when you remove it? That's where I would start. Bit confused where you state 'and even after 30 hard pulls (10 of which were of the seized type) the best I could get was 90 psi' It's either 'seized' or you can pull it over...if it's seized, then it's seized...if you can pull it over albeit with increasing difficulty, then it's not seized...which is it?

Well, if the tories cannot manage money any more, then god help us for the rest of the parties get involved. They are all currently bad, but I think the alternatives are much worse. A case of less crap, rather than best option. I blame the new politicians coming through in all parties who ten years ago where of this new generation who are tech savvy, common sense short. Gone though education and never been told they are wrong or disciplined in any way. Everyone got a winners medal just for taking part...that sort of thing. We are now seeing the fruits of that.

My wife can be quite brazen?

Agree. I had a near new set of boots which i used occasionally for jobs around the house maybe a couple of times a year....i even kept them in a proper boot bag. I didnt use them for 18 months or so, then when i got them out to use i started walking in them and i thought it was lumps of mud falling off the underside then realised it was the heels crumbling. Avoid urethane

I'm not saying you're wrong, but that's the motivation we have here -

'Don't feed the monkeys' Views/subs to youtube gets ads and an income. Only reason he's here. Title of one vid confirms it. -
Doesn't make the saw a fake though does it? A fake sale, yes.

The stihl easy file is a very good tool for those that are starting out or not sure what they are doing. Consists of a round and flat file so does raker and cutters at same time. I was going to say foolproof....but i had one guy struggle to even open the packaging, so maybe not quite!

Husqvarna 226 HS99 Hedge Cutter Blade Play
pleasant replied to Dravidham's topic in Maintenance help
Yup....and only sharpen on the upper side, not lower. Any burring on the underside should just be gently filed away to clean it up only...not sharpen . Oh, and use a wire brush or something similar on your dremel to clean the crud off the teeth first. Leaving gum and varnish on them simply attracts more of the same and then you get a snowball effect and the blades can slow, can lift so you have a gap between them and can also seize completely if stored -
Looks ok to me. All the giveaways like torx head markings bar nut markings..the little things that fakers skip on....all seem fine. Why?
-
Hahaha....i noticed that and so did my wife...great similarity.

Whoevers been landed with the short bird has had a right result when it comes to the overhead lifts week. 😆

Nothing to do with the best celeb dancer...all to do with who's ticked the most boxes.

My opinion on sharpening devices, they all tend to work (some better than others) IF the operator knows what they are doing and how to get the desired effect. Bit of a dark art chain sharpening, and even a lot of my pro users don't know how to do it correctly with or without the best devices available.

I'm a 9-5er with a personal pension which is now fooked and has been for sometime. I'm near 60 and cannot afford to retire on the projections I am getting. I am lucky as I have just had an inheritance, which if I don't invest it will just be worth a fraction when or if I can retire, so I have to do something with it, so I will be looking at purchasing a small property to rent....to be fair I am only after a capital gain, rather than any huge profit from rental income. This, will have to be my pension now. It's not right, and I suppose I am in a fortunate situation, but even us regular man in the street people have to think about how we will support ourselves in a few years- not just the Jeremy Hunts of this world

2-stroke should 4-stroke to a degree when not under load, then like you say, clear their throats under load. That's why manufacturers state a bar and chain should always be fitted, or a head fitted to a brush cutter- all adds a degree of load when tuning.

The one's I prefer are the 'cordless' ones- ie ones that don't need to be connected to the ht lead for a pulse. Saves hassle having to access the lead, but they are more expensive. My genuine Husky one is my go to. My back up is the tiny tech, which does need connecting to the ht lead, but is very good, and reasonably priced although the refresh time is a bit slower, than some deared ones. Here's the tiny tech. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Meter-Tachometer-Small-Engine/dp/B072KPKNT9 Here's the husky one, which you can use with or without being connect to the ht: Husqvarna TACHOMETER 502711401 WWW.WILLISANDGRABHAM.CO.UK Tachometer (Rev Counter) hend held ideal for small workshop or garage.
