I wouldnt have thought there was room for them to come off with the cover in place.

Dishwasher is fine on plastics, they may come out dull but a spray with WD40 and a wipe over has them looking like new. Any aluminium or magnesium parts need to be dried thoroughly after washing or the white rot soon starts to kick in.
-
Fingers crossed it solves the problem.

The 4 mix engines ain't that bad, if you do strip it down and remove the valves and associated parts always keep them as a set, inlet side and exhaust side. Valve, spring, cleat, spacer, nut, push rod, rocker arm and cam follower dont mix them up. When rebuilding dont forget to line the timing arrows up on the cam with the marks on the cylinder before re-sealing the cam cover. Regular maintainence on these engines is essential, and i would reccomend more frequent than they state at every 200 hours.

When you strip the carb, in the bottom part where the impulse hose connects there is a big spring and a flat plastic washer. Be careful, if your not expecting it they do fly off and are lost for ever.

wont go on in what way? over the pins? is it the same part? there is a part number moulded into the plastic on the handle in one of the pockets, does it match the old broken one?
-
If the exhaust valve is not opening and the pressure is not being released you wouldnt be able to turn it over by hand, remove the spark plug and the pressure ecsapes through the spark plug hole so it can be turned over by hand.

Try it with the air filter on, think i read on an american site ages ago about poor running on 200's with no filter and run fine with it on.

Ive never heard of this before, the place i used to work at used to be called up by the insurance company and given an inventory of what needed to be replaced, we put the package together and delivered it to the person who was making the claims address, they never got to see the money just got new items. Some were not made anymore so we always used to give an alternative (same power same size b+c) if two alternatives were required and one was lower value than original the other alternative item was bumped up to the next more expensive item.

Its not got an American exhaust on it has it? Spark screen blocked?

Home owner saw is what the majority or my business is, ie MS210 Service is £38 no vat. On top are parts, plug, filters, rope. Chain sharpen is £4.50. I never dissasemble the carb if it can be tuned ok then there is no reason too, should it need to be dissasembled for repair all parts are charged as extra. Then the repair is charged at my hourly rate.

what grease to use on my hedge trimmer blades and the blade housing ?
Ray1 replied to David_chainsaw's topic in General chat
Multi-purpose EP grease (clearish, brownish colour) which is just like most general purpose grease gun tubes. This is for the gear systems of hedgecutters and electric chainsaws. The other is a high temperature graphite grease ( hence the black colour) for brushcutter and clearing saw gears. Red grease is no good, its far to thin. -
The main agent round here has a 6 week lead time at the moment only to get worse, good job i have a mate who works the counter there and sends people who want a quicker job round to my place.:laugh1:

Todays job was to make at least 2 Fs310 strimmers out of 6 in various states of repair, then realised ive run out of Dirko. So im having a day of doing nothing.
-
They are a non adjustable oiler. The pumps do wear quite quick and are inexpensive and pretty easy to replace.
-
I would go and get it and send it to spud, it would have most likely been sorted by now and returned to you and a lot cheaper that what these amateurs will most likely charge.
-
T is for top handle, R on strimmers means loop handle.
-
I would be suspicous of this? Did you pay the £120 or was it done under the warranty.
-
For brambles you wont find anything better than blades like this, Brushcutter/Strimmer 3 Tooth Mulching Blade | eBay we used to use the 2 blade version then changed to these.
-
MS180 MS181 both have clamshell engines as does the MS280 mounted in plastic cases.
-
026 - 44mm cylinder MS260 - 44.7 cylinder Both have the same mounting but .70 of a mm does make a difference especially when youve rebuilt a saw and cant get it to run cos the compression is down and have to rebuild it again with the correct size piston.

Was once told by a Stihl tech that it stood for More Superior to any other make.

Have you had the exhaust off and looked through the port at the piston? If it is lean seized it will have rough vertical lines visible.
