  1. My local dealer has most sizes in, and I have used Oregon pipes on my 090, 051 and a few others without them shrivelling, hardening or melting. The 090 has an impulse line for the oiler from the crank which is a metal attachment point that heats up. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  2. I know you do a very thorough job, hence why I had nick's nephew get him to send that 200t to you. I on the other hand get paid to fix my employers machinery, of which I usually know what caused the fault. Tuning isn't something I really class in repairs, it's a standard thing I do without thinking as a check. Unfortunately, most of my repairs are done either at the end of the working day, or after, so the repairs or retunes are done very quickly to get the machine back in circulation, that and I can't be bothered when I know the person whose saw it is won't do the most basic of maintenance.

  3. 15 mins to rip down and reassemble the cylinder isn't fast, yes the testing takes time, but a compression test takes all of 2 minutes, pressure/vac testing is what takes longest, but I do set out a bench in a style Barrie would be proud of... Slightly, it isn't as organised as his finally, I usually know the cause of the seize, I can guarantee the next time I have a k650 disc cutter to fix it'll be a straight fueled seize, so I can skip certain checks to begin with. And I'm quick at reassembly because I don't get paid per saw, I get paid a set wage, whether it takes me 1 or 24 hours to fix the saw. And I recommend you to people when I CBA to fix stuff, so subbing the work to me would be counterproductive for me especially ms200t's with faulty crankshafts and bearings Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  5. Try full throttle starting Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  6. If the cylinder is shot, the hyway 359 cylinder is a very good option, but you'll need a gasket on it! Otherwise clean the cylinder and fit a new piston, I can do it in 15 minutes, so it shouldn't take too long for you to do it yourself! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  7. Use Oregon fuel line instead then, there's lots of sizes Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  8. My 560 is brilliant, 2013 model, only problem is the rubber oil gallery keeps splitting, but a muffler mod will fix that Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  9. 070 is easy to get running, very basic design, bugger to prime the carbs though Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  10. It's a little large for that saw, get the magnum muffler at least, although I would recommend speaking to spud Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  11. Possibly a mild seize, I've dealt with a 357 and 394 that both had a tiny bit of transfer, they would run as long as throttle was applied, but died immediately on idle Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  12. Where's the outer dog, wise? I personally prefer 3/8 on 36", but that's because I couldn't be bothered to change the rim on my 385... And the fact that the whole set-up cost me £40 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  13. How in buggery do you do that on an 090? There's no plastic, and if it's hot enough to melt magnesium, how do you control it? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  14. Did you try the husky fix? That usually works Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  15. Does he talk like he types? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  16. You heard it from Jon first, 560 is the way forward, even the die-hard stihl lover is a fan! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  17. What are you doing to them? The tank assy is part of the housing for everything! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  18. So that's going to put spud out of business, and anyone else who can fix a saw! I would only be able to order parts for 2 of my saws? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  19. Well they're doing it at my dealer, it's on the datatag website, just wondered if other dealers were. And it wouldn't decrease insurance replacements, just means when they catch the gyppos who robbed it, you get the saw back Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  20. There is no point remapping, the coil is limited so the carb just tunes the saw to max rpm, so unless you wanted to tune the saw to a lower rpm you couldn't do anything Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  21. You done any of the 5 series huskies yet? The pics I've seen of them in bits suggests they've created a lot of different things to play with, from the crank upwards Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  22. Yes they do them for motorbikes, push bikes and chicken chasers Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  23. Went into my local dealer today and they're data tagging all new stihl saws, any other dealers doing this? Had my ms150t done under warranty, so that's now registered to me I wish husky would do this too! Think I'll do all my stihl saws... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  24. Looks like it needs a clean! Is the brake handle broke or just the camera perspective? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  25. That's probably closer to the truth, though I'm surprised you got much gains from a 180! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
