Yeah I heard that to Rich from some bloke who bought a Chinese chainsaw and also recommends using old sump oil.... mind you he said it about all of us....

i,am going to try and build my own hydraulic splitter

Possibly, but the big chrome cap on the hydraulic tank coupled up with the same colour ram still makes me think flail trimmer, of course it maybe coincidence but will almost put money on that's what the tanks off at least. -
Stihl p/n 0000 930 2803 its cheap enough. 3.1 mm I/d 5.7mm o/d. Got a mtr last week for about £2.50 so not worth getting aftermarket stuff at that price.

Ok lets see what everyone prefers. What saw do you always seem to pick up and use and always seems to bring a smile? No doubt we will almost get a different saw for everyone. Mine would be my old 10mm Stihl 044, what it cuts like never ceases to amaze me, light enough to throw around for most jobs yet powerful enough at the same time, not to thirsty and always reach for it instead of the 372xp for some reason it just hits the sweet spot. Whats yours and brief reason why?

My guess looking at the colour is its off a bamford/mcconnel flail hedge trimmer? -
Must be the weekend for 051 carbs, just rebuilt 3 of mine with new diaphragm kits yesterday. (ive got 3 051's and 2 075's lol. The carb model is a tillotson hs60 on these saws They are nice a simple to rebuild. I would get atleast one "full kit" tho that includes the needle etc tho as ive seen more than one go bad. As spud says they also include the welch plug, they either seem spotless or full of crud but no inbetween. There is a very clear 2 part vid on utube which will help if your in any doubt.

Assuming it is a cheap Chinese version if its from a catalogue they tend not to start so easy from new. Take a look at this link below. Its shows how to start them by first pulling it over with the switch off before moving to the next level. (yes that really is meant to say off!!) S and J, einhell, b and q all tend to use the same method as all the saws are from the same factory..... Its prob wise for you to watch all the way through to ensure you've built up the saw correctly to.

Depends on how far in they are so to speak but also heard ppl use the end of the red wiring crimp connecters and push them on on the smaller husqys but that method needs good accessability so to speak.
-
Rich, if its the splined adjusters like im thinking I used a bit of rubber pipe and pushed over the end (of a screwdriver) and turned them that way. Not sure if you can do it that way with a 435?
-
Most likely a bit of blow by as the turbo oil seals are starting to go.
-
Completely rebuilt an 051 with all new internals (1974) even managed to get a new crank! Managed to break the throttle linkage on reassembly tho right on the bend so had to order a new one online... So annoying when you get so close to the end and something like that happens... Now off to pick up an ebay special, yet another 051....
-
12hrs minimum everyday and 8-10 on a Saturday. Blimey Josh you even managed to draft the old man in to give you a hand I see lol.
-
Think its a bit like hay/straw. It's most likely to combust around the 18% moisture level. Woodworks, I know what you mean, I worked out there up until Xmas just gone when I changes jobs.
-
Sounds like my shelf of new bits that "may come in handy one day" but where bought cos they where cheap..... Lol Or the box of old carbs that one day I may need a bit off, the fact I'm more likely to go ass over tit and break my neck over it first is irrelevant hehe
-
Yup, Big disposal place close by has caught fire 3 times in the past 4 years. Last month around 300 tonnes of it caught fire and burnt for several days . http://www.thisisdevon.co.uk/Major-recycling-plant-near-Exeter/story-17193814-detail/story.html#axzz2Trnhmg71 http://www.dsfire.gov.uk/news/newsdesk/IncidentDetail.cfm?IncidentID=24443&siteCategoryId=3&T1ID=26&T2ID=35

That's the 051 version (looks bigger in pic than it actually is) They live on top the crankcase on them. Im sure you will find the 048 flatter and prob all plastic.
-
Ok thanks. I did use a thinner motorcycle clip rather than an actual jubilee clip. Maybe I should've used the old trick of spraying a bit of hairspray on It first to help sealing. Should be able to spray around it with some wd40 or similar to check any idle difference which should work shouldn't it?
-
Rich, im thinking its a plug like this you need to be looking for New Stihl 028 038 042 048 Chainsaw Tank Housing Plastic Plug 9302 929 0400 | eBay Its a similar plug set up that the 051/075/076 use but flatter
-
It uses the same oil pump as the 038/ms380 but don't know if its the same breather set up aswell if you look at the ipl for that?
-
Yeah I cut off that stupid plastic clip and fitted a jubilee/worm drive metal clip when I done the rebuild when I fitted a new Viton inlet manifold.Im fairly sure its not sucking any air in etc. Its got the sensible (as sensible as they can be) decomp valve not the silly one as its a 2003 saw. Will check the throttle linkage -cheers for the heads up as didn't know about that. It did seem to settle in the end but only done another 20mins cutting after and not had chance to use it since so have to wait and see. Did seem very tempermental with the carb settings tho, more than 1/8 turn 1 way or the other made the difference whether it would actually cut or hardly run. The saw has had a hardish life so not sure how well the carb has held out or worn itself out tho it still had the oe piston etc and bore was fine but rings where thin.
-
If it where a 057/075/076 not if I got there first lol a man after my own heart...
-
As maico said they can be troublesome until the ignitions updated but trying to get the sem flywheel can be as rare as trying to buy hens teeth... As any saw prices vary and saws that era vary quite a bit depending on its condition and also bar length. I would certainly ensure its got a good spark before buying, if not walk away and not bother as you will regret it. Cant really comment on using one as such tho but theres always something satisfying about using an old saw and the torque of the motor...
-
Absolutle brilliance. How long did it take you out of interest?
-
Does the flashing l.e.d gear knob make it go faster? lol Love the idea of using the bale elevator, and also thrown many a bale on them. Not much could be said about the b and s original motor on them tho, we stuck a 5 hp electric motor on ours in the end as it was always used in the barn. Perry? maybe your getting muddled with the perry loader Alycidon? before the days of the flat 8 system as kids we spent many an hour riding on the bale slide waiting for that 6th bale before jumping off and stacking it up into for the perry loader on the mf35 to come collect it.
-
Rumour has it stihl will be remaking the 044/ms440 and doing away with the ms441 but how true that is I don't know. Afterall Husqvarna reintroduced the 372 due to its demand.
