    Theres rumours over there (America) about the 661 re-release in November so be interesting to see where that turns up first.
  2. wisecobandit
    Yeah its 3/8 chain. Every bit of info including the "x" I found said about it being ripping chain but couldn't work out why its at 30 degrees and not 10? Its certainly appears to have low rakers to suggest it was a ripping chain. Basically its a milling chain then and not suitable for much else?
  3. wisecobandit
    Anyone heard of it or used it? Don't seem to have much joy even looking on google about it. I just got a loop of it and interested to read up the description, Links have 6 on them, its"stihl oilamatic 3" and filed at 30 degrees and also has rakers tho they look quite low. Im assuming its new old stock. P/n 3901 003 0085

    Lol my phone somehow thinks "thing" should always be replaced with "thong" !!! Doesn't matter how much I delete it it still comes back! Its gonna catch me out 1 day and will be rather embarrassing!

    I have to say the chances are it may well be a simpler problem as Spud suggest. As a matter of interest the diaphragm kit you used was it "specifically" for that saw or a generalised kit? It pays to compare the 2 very carefully when replacing as some gaskets will "direct swap" but missing a hole etc. Also some come with 2 diaphragms one stiffer than the other and replace the more flexible one with a stiffer one sometimes causes issues with not pumping well or not pumping at all.

    What country did the 560 first get released or was it released everywhere at the same time? Im sure it was released around sept 11 in the uk so Trolls saw may well pip the win unless anyone has an imported saw. Unusually we got the stihl 661 and Husqvarna 540 before it was released in America.

    When you see them roosting and nesting beside the plastic owl you know it doesn't work. Prob a more effective solution is hanging old cd's or something on string but as said an air rifle is the best solution lol

    Zama - C1T-EL41A No 4 in the pic shows it does have a check valve. To check it I just use a short bit of fuel hose and put it tight against it and blow into it to allow air into the venturi. It should be free flowing. However you shouldn't be able to suck air back and if you can its failed. (normally tho you cant build up a great deal of pressure in the fuel bulb tho which gives the game away but sounds as yours is ok) Normally they are either a brass or silver looking plug that's pressed into the carb and flush fit with a small hole in the centre. There is a wafer thin bit of plastic in it that acts as a valve and carb cleaner can melt it and compressed air can blow it out of place.

    Yeah that's the same settings as I have for that saw. Sometimes you can get a build up of crud under the welch plug but it is quite rare. How does the pressure feel in the primer bulb once the saw has run? Does it feel that it needs pumping back up again as it has air in there? Certainly in some stihl carbs they have a check valve (small 1 way valve) which when they fail they will allow air back into the system which give symptoms similar to what you have but husqvarnas don't normally suffer as its normally zama carbs. Do you know what carb it has fitted which is normally somewhere on the carb housing? Also last but not least you have got the primer hoses fitted right as the primer bulb is also basically a one way valve.
  10. wisecobandit
    Sounds carb related. Did you remove, clean and renew welch plugs or was it just the diaphragms you replaced? After its started and stalled pull the plug to see if its dry to give the game away. The other obvious assumption but best to ask the l and h screws have been reset to factory positions?
  11. wisecobandit
    Pm'd you mate with your best solution around it.
  12. wisecobandit
    Hell its the only one saw missing I haven't got from the 357xp upwards in the 3 series
  13. wisecobandit
    It went to brazil certainly for the 051 and 076 saws so certainly wouldn't surprise me.
  14. wisecobandit
    Can you pm me a price please? I keep thinking I need one for the collection.
  15. wisecobandit
    Lol I was watching them both as had half a heart in bidding but never did. I love the 051/075/076 saws and rebuilt quite a few. They are pretty straight forward and there main fault is losing spark when the trigger unit fails behind the flywheel on the earlier models which is no longer available but there are ways to get around it. I would look at the oil tank/fuel tank situation first and see if its been combined into 1 big fuel tank and the possibiltys of getting around it to separate them again.
  16. wisecobandit
    That's interesting brushcutter, What supplier/dealer do you use? A quick comparison of prices. Basing the 550xp against a 261 Tank unit/handle Husqy £128.45 Stihl £86.48 Starter assembly Husqy £62.88 Stihl £37.07 Carb Husy £130.26 Stihl £102.16 Genuine cylinder with piston assemblys Husqy £319 Stihl £278

    Either of the 2 that have been on ebay the last couple of weeks? Its not as easy as it appears. Mainly made for the railways who insisted on the "chain oil tank" was turned into an auxiliary fuel tank which people seem to miss. On some theres no oil pick up pipe feed hole in the crankcase. Different air filter and cover. No lug for a chainbrake handle. Oiler and associated bits. Then a chain and a bar added into the cost.

    It would've been 2012 when you bought it. Bare in mind the shipping etc. Yeah Jon unfortunately that's the case with Husqvarna. Unless any parts in stock I don't think ive ever had any part in less than a week that's had to be ordered in and ive tried several different suppliers/dealers.
  19. wisecobandit
    Maybe they have a different holiday set up than us? Or as they hadn't been out to long and had lots of backorders even. Or it was actually a 2012 saw and just using up the old tags they had left over
  20. wisecobandit
    Longest ive had to wait was for a 395 throttle cable which took nearly 3 weeks and not much shorter for a 394 inlet manifold. Longest wait for stihl around 5 days for starter paul springs for an old 076..... Despite having more husqvarnas than stihls I do have to say that spares availability and prices are pretty poor in comparison to stihl parts.
  21. wisecobandit
    Yes that's correct. Must be a rare one that Made between boxing day and new years day 2012
  22. wisecobandit
    Captain Flack you mean possibly?
  23. wisecobandit
    I maybe wrong but I think there was a short gap between the 550 and the 560 release dates so to speak if my memory serves me correctly.
  24. wisecobandit
    made between October 24th-30th 2011 then
  25. wisecobandit
    Example of dating Say serial number is s/n 11 160015 First two is the year ie 2011 Second two are the week ie number 16 Last four are the number of the saw made that week ie 0015 So saw was the 15th of the production line of week 16 in 2011
