Got a strange engine problem. It's a Honda "copy" engine. It runs perfectly, but, takes a good two minutes to warm up. Have to start it on full then half choke, then leave it on half choke and half throttle for about 2mins then it will suddenly kick into life, and run perfectly. Just the starting that's an issue. Fur stoke buy the way. Ohv. Tried changing the carb for a known good one but no difference, fuel not an issue and the vacuum line from valve cover to air box is working as it should, put finger over hole and can feel it sucking. So its just annoying more than anything, had another exact same engine another log splitter and it doesn't do this. Any ideas, don't want to start poking around the governer too much.

As with everyone else, check the bar. If pulling to one side could be bent bar. Or splayed edges. The chain stopping could be clutch worn. I've had this with a saw, will scream but stop as soon as it gets into timber.

Wrong rings. The standard piston on a 200t is 40mm. Order a meteor piston. Won't get better IMO. STIHL 020T MS200T PISTON ASSEMBLY 40MM MADE IN ITALY BY METEOR PC2055

That's it. New it was something like that. I have up on mine as I ran out of patients and scrap yards to look in.

As far as I'm aware you measure the distance between two opposite studs and go by that when looking for a tyre. Had the same problem a while ago when looking for a wheel. Gave up in the end.

Freelance stihl mechanic required ( east sussex )

I'm in kent if that helps you out. Where abouts in East Sussex are you? Not sure what I can do before Saturday, it depends on how Far East you are. -
Ok then as per my first part of post. Remove the pull start, at the bottom of the buffer, against body of saw there is a piece of metal plate, this has flat parts on each side of it. This is a 19mm spanner or adjustable spanner on it. Looks like a washer with flat sides ground off it. It may take some doing if its been on there a long time. If the buffer is knackerd remove all the rubber bit and you should see it. For the handle side stihl screw in end of handle, looking at it form the side sw upright, there is another flat part the other side of handle for 19mm spanner.

Yeah spud....

Wires are easy, there is only one troublesome one. The one that goes to the front of the handle. Through the crank casing. This is easy with a hard piece of wire held in place with a bit of grease while reassembling the case. Easy peazy. :lol:
-
I'm lost. Do you mean the buffer by the bottom of the pull start or the bottom of the carb area??? If its the pull start assembly just remove that and use a 19mm open ended spanner to remove it. If its carb area, remove the bottom mount above with stihl screw driver in hole in handle, remove the chain cover and remove the stihl screw in buffer, then remove the earth screw, Remove the carb and the spacers, one round on in boot and one around the boot, undo stihl screw in the buffer under the carb area, pull handle back and up ensuring the boot stays in place and doesn't come out with handle. Where abouts are you by the way. Could be a techy round the corner.

No that pressure will not stop idle but rather the opposite. You can have too much compression, but you will be talking in the area of over 300 psi. If you think it's too lean then there is something else going on. First up air filter. Second up crank case oil seals and gasket (pressure vac test) and finally clean the carb out. Good luck with it spud, I've been pondering over unavailable parts and interchangeable flywheels in the same aspect before. Keep us posted mate.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE..... Congrats. Happy future

Steady skyhuck. Deep breath. Not another thread to get closed please. For info, the loan isn't about a car. Just that if the car goes he looses his work that's all. I've done a fair bit of reading over this and you need a good excuse for keeping a car. I.e for work purposes. But if a cheaper car can do the same job then the expensive car goes. Anyway he has booked for cab and awaiting for them to give him some help. I've been looking over my stuff as its got me up a bit. I think in my case bankruptcy would actually be a plus, I don't have assets, I don't have my own home, and nothing to put against the bankruptcy. So I would have to just carry on and work through it as would others I presume. But I think it would be a very steep road to recovery afterwards.

Ok. He has some anger issues IMO. Just incase anyone doesn't know why or what he is all about I had a look at his other videos, he is doing it because he gets angry about campers on games. For the old people who have no idea what that is .it's when playing an online first person shooter. I.e call of duty, you get players that sit in corners or rooms and they wait for enemy players and shoot them, some are very hard to kill due to there position and a player can get ver frustrated. Back to op. I was waiting for him to do it to the wrong tree and break his back...... We are all quick to bring up kids destroying trees on YouTube and this is no different IMO.

Ok. Chuck some fresh fuel and oil in it and see what happens. Keep us posted.
-
True. BUT. The smoke trails off when warmed up. With chain oil being thick an gloopy it wouldn't trail off but carry on. With this in mind I would look more to being rich. Than leaking oil tank. But then a test would take minutes and eliminate the problem easily. You could also test just the oil tank by blanking it off and pressure testing trough the oil pump inlet from the tank..... This would be my starting point right after checking the plug colour.
-
Hhhmmm. Power loss is a maybe but not a great deal. A pressure/vac test would test the gasket easily, the oil maybe from the bar, take bar off run and see if oil comes from anywhere other than oil hole. And see if it stops when engine does. Smoke on startup might just be fuel mix. To be honest I wouldn't have thought smoke could be chain oil.

Only been dropped once........ Out the back of the lorry.

Get hold of one and take it apart. See what you have there. Then with a bit of brain power you should figure it out.

I believe mick was looking at that nice one down my way. Anything happening with it mick??

Why would you not want it to move forwards. Just out of curiosity.??
