I have these videos in my favourites and have watched her closely sawing and splitting, she is pure muscle and I am very impressed with her work ethic.
-
Could have been worse, he could have said push the manifold onto the flange as well😏
-
Oh no
-
Ah right, mine is a Dynamac variation from Machine Mart over 20 years old and still going strong
-
It's an Efco made in Italy, how is it a non brand ? They make saws under several different brand names and have been running for years.
-
Is the starter cord full length, do you pull till the dogs engage then go for it and feed it back slowly or let the spring whip back in ?
-
Seen it on a 261, it's a bit of the handle broken most likely. Video on youtube about it
-
So when you are out in the woods what do you plug the charger into, a petrol generator ?
-
I've still got my 18t Black Tools splitter and it's going well. I use it horizontal and vertical and it hasn't jibbed at anything we've put through it yet. My friend passed me a piece that his splitter had given up on and it just ate it. I made another table for the other side and it's really handy for stacking on. I do tow it down to the farm where we get to split some big stuff dumped by the local tree man Truman.

Memory not what it was Dave ? 🙃
-
I've just had a 540T with similar problem, cleaned out and still bogging and after watching some Youtubes I let it tick over for 3 minutes then ran it in some wood for similar till the revs shot up and it is cutting again.
-
The purge is hidden behind the pull start handle 😉
-
I used to use a measure from some medicine to measure 100ml to 5l of fuel, I can't see why getting the ratio wrong would stop the saw from starting unless it was over oiled. It would make for less seized saws from lack of oil if it worked like that.
-
It would do it was wedged in solid 😄
-
I've not seen any differences in choke flaps for purge and non purge on any I've done. Pre-fuelling the carb doesn't eliminate the need for choke it just primes the pump chamber so it doesn't have to suck a charge through. You still need a rich mix from cold don't you ?
-
How do you measure a difference that small ? When I was mixing my own they got 50:1 but if there's a bit left in the measure after you mix what does that make it ?
-
Join the two pipes to the purge bulb or block them both off but it sounds like you need to replace it.
-
It looks like my Chinese top handle, have Stihl started copying them ?
-
It sounds like the one way valve in the primer is faulty, just try blanking the pipe off or replace it they are cheap enough. Carb sucking fuel from the tank would create a vacuum not pressurise it.
-
I thought you wanted someone to carry your luggage 😄
-
If it's not been decanted into another container how does he know ? You can't see through the red plastic and at 50:1 it won't be a very obvious layer. I just bought a new 5 litre yesterday and it will probably last me most of this season I'm still using the tail end of my old stuff and I've never had any separation or water problems.
-
It's probably you, have you thought ? You might have the wrong chainsaw.😆

Parts list manual is available as a pdf here if it helps at all.
