does running it like that eddy affect the cooling in any way? - i don't know the contra but with some saws the shroud is used to direct the air from the flywheel over the cylinder - don't know if hypotheticaly the gain from no cover equals the loss if you see what I mean? or whether it's relevant in this case or not

nice looking muffler - is that brazing? never brazed anything - would it to be to thin to mig?
-
something is loose I'd guess letting air in - all screwed and bolted down properly? - crank seal leakijng air? have you pressure tested the fuel line - sometimes a crack only opens when twisted one way? sure there's enough petrol in there covering the pickup?

aha..... cheers Spud

that's interesting , I assumed quickstop referred to having a chain brake fitted. - cheers eddy - did you post it by the way?
-
I'll take your word for it - wish i had some sort of ref manual to see where all the incarnations fit and how they differ. Says AVE on side and on top in small - made in Stuttgart - Type AVQ - what's the Q stand for?
-
Cheers wise - what exactly is a trigger unit? Will have a look at the wire routing soon too.

Stihl 011 - with a hole for Eddys flywheel and a non oiling oil pump overhaul - stuck plunger, split gasket and a diaphragm compression spring which bounced across the workshop floor (to join the carb springs, filters and other numerous vital micro components) never to be seen again. ps anybody tell me what that lump is screwed on to the leg of the coil? This is an AVE.

that looks promising eddy - is it from an 011ave - cant make out the numbers from your pic?

HELP - 011 on my bench - been slightly shafted on an ebay deal and opened saw up to find Phelon 10988-01 flywheel missing several fins. Ran it but vibrates like hell and engine overheats after a minute so needs to be changed. Details in pic - any leads of where to get one would be appreciated - very happy to pay if someones got one in the corner. Is Phelon still going? cheers.

Cheers Spud that's a lot to think about - really appreciated - Question if you only did the exhaust and not the inlet will there be any gain at all? is it 50:50 in terms of gains - exhaust / inlet? i'll bear this in mind - (was possibly gonna go down the dremel and a bag of hope route): "don't think it is easy, don't just attack the ports with nothing but hope, look at how wide your piston skirt is, look at where the rings end on the piston and personally would start by widening the exhaust and inlet followed by a muffler mod and then tune the carb based on what the engine is now doing"

I think grease will create a different set of problems - i wouldn't personally. You sure you haven't mixed the H and L screws up - different thread sizes? - sorry not even sure what you're talking about but I'd steer clear of grease - i use a bit of wd40 after cleaning.

Looks impressive even though I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at. Was thinking of having a go on a spare knackd cylinder from a strimmer - just to get a feel for trying some tools and how the metal reacts.With this cylinder the bottom of the exhaust port is a good 3cm up the pot. Is that too far in to work on? Was also wondering if you'd work from the outside for the widening and then only have the chamfering left to do from the inside?

that was me - cheers rich

cheers ray - hadn't spotted that - nice one

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNq07CcWPjs]Chainsaw Seal Replacment & Vacuum Testing - YouTube[/ame] Invested in one of these - a 5910890 4400 Stihl pulling device for crankseals. Plenty of vids showing the final stage of screwing in to pull out. Question - what's the proper technique for getting the jaws into the seal in the first place? Push down on the rubber part? Break through into the metal part? Is there a Stihl table that says you use these particular set of jaws on this saw as it comes with 5 sets of jaws? Is there an instruction booklet for the tool? Thanks a lot.

servicing or all broken?

this flywheel was encased in what seemed like road tar - never seen such a filthy saw - surprised the coil didn't fry thats 2 of these vintage saws I have now - a danarm 55 and a frontier 5r - seem to be exactly the same saw - neither one though has a suitable bar - waiting to hear back from guy on ebay flogging new echo bars with chain - modified to fit the oiler hole on these saws.
