hiya felix - yep:001_smile:
-
thank god we've got some obsessives - in the best sense of the word - i shall sleep a little wiser - cheers spud (aka the whats on your bench museum guide who never has a day off )
-
started cleaning the carb and yep the choke has started to jam - loads of wd40 and fiddling and it just seems to be getting tighter - spring won't pull it back ????
-
I've absolutely no idea what you're talking about wise but I'll remove the flywheel tomorrow and have a shufty - then i dare say this will make some sense to me - much appreciated. mike
-
anyone got a service manual for this ts350 super?
-
and don't you just love them chinese engines - they drove me round the bend a few months ago - without any handle bar adjustment
-
nice one amfell - cheers - re: points or electronic - any idea how i date it - its a TS350 Super struggling to get that cone off right now edit - i suppose i can just get the flywheel off
-
My second concrete saw - enjoying these. All this chainsaw learning very transferable. Sadly neglected TS350 - sat in a barn for 4 years when it was allegedly running.. Non-runner - no spark, will investigate tomorrow. Thought it was points but apparently electronic unit under the flywheel. Maybe there's a shortsomewhere or the spark plug fitting is faulty. Clutch seems seized as blade turns when flywheel rotated. Haven't looked at the carb yet. I'll be keeping this so nice little project. If anybodys been here before with a TS350 any pointers appreciated. Exhaust off and piston looks immaculate - 95psi compression - not sure where that stands with one of these.

what's your idea of tank filter ok? i've found the slightest bit of resistance when i blow or suck in it directly is a red light - unless you've fitted a brand new one I'd double check
-
Not sure of the model Eddy, any particular reason?. It's gone now. Wise and Spud - another insight into something that I didn't know that I didn't know. Cheers. ps: upe youres sire spud

Partner stone saw - concretions (yep that is a real word spud!) attached to flywheel and other areas removed. Was starving of fuel, 30 pulls to start, no revs- new fuel filter, plug and general clean up - now starts and runs a dream. First one of these - new notch on the bed post. Tillotson carb seemed not to have HL adjustment - holes were filled in with brass caps - there was one big brass screw on other side of carb like a jet - as it was running so well I didn't want to fix a prob that wasn't there.

thank god for arbtalk

running a treat - just on the margins of too much vacuum created I'd say - I found the vent - through a screw holding the AV mount in. If i cut a slit up one side of the screw do you think it would still hold? cheers ALSO - way too much oil seems to be running straight down the bar to the base of the saw - haven't adjusted the pump yet - apparently its a screw to open or shut - any fix / solution / tip appreciated. cheers spud and folks
-
aha - I really wasn't sure if I was winging it there - seems I was! Okey doke will take you up on that - cheers spud one thing i do want to know though is how does the fuel tank vent? a bit of intuition (& a first stage varnicised tongue from a mouth full of petrol) is giving me the impression it's not venting right??
-
Non-running Sachs Dolmar 100. New fuel line and filter as a starter for 10. Had her running with a squirt down the carb - pulled fuel line out to find a cracked bodged pipe join. Carb US cleaned - very varnicised. Back together tonight to see if we have lift off.

Not sure exactly what you're planning here Rich but just having done that 017 it seems like blowing through the oil outlet hole with compressed air - something I've done in the past, with the oil pump still in situ, is only going to blow any crud in that tube or passage back into the oil pump? Was thinking then I should not be doing that?
-
That's what I wanted to hear to be honest Spud - I know you said it somewhere before, just didn't trust my memory - thank you. And the thing is, using Stihl oil at that dilution works out cheaper than most of the relative crap I've been using.
-
50:1 - does it only apply to stihl tools? Can i use this mixed at 50:1 in non-stihl strimmers/saws i used other oil in at 25:1? Sorry if that's a basic one.

Went for it, pump pulled out, cleaned out and all of the above - nice lines of oil up the wall - feel chuffed. Even the AV rubbers surrendered! Another first thanks to the support given here. Cheers chaps, cheers Arbtalk
