I did that with my 044 and replaced the piston with an ebay bargain, my thinking was if it doesn't work I'd get a Meteor piston and cylinder but it was fine. I used patio cleaner/brick acid to dissolve the aluminium transfer and rubbed it out with 240 grit and oil. There was one small pit in the Nikasil below the exhaust port not in a critical area and it's a good saw again now. It's worth spending a bit of time and money to get one running again and it gives you a warm glow when it works.

Get a bigger bag and don't try to put it in the bag head first
-
Yeah but what about coiling it back in again
-
Ungrateful little beggars aren't they ? When I got stuck up a tree my dad said "you got yourself up there you can get yourself down" and he was right.

Not having any rope I find the ladder essential plus I can clean gutters as well I might save up for a rope but I think I might be a bit old for proper climbing.
-
Odd that, they used to breed like flies. I've just come in and to say how cool it is there are still a lot of moths about here. Is it just in Germany or worldwide ?

If they are making money from the eucalyptus by pulping it why would they set fire to it ? It's bad that the fires happen and the eucalyptus contributes to the rapid spread of the fires and anyone who deliberately sets the fires should be at least charged with attempted murder. I'm sorry for the loss of your property and it must be devastating to lose what you put so much of your life and soul into.

Yes I only look in the pictures forum because it has pictures, a bit like the video forum has moving pictures.

How long will I be dragging brush before getting to climb?

Nice one, just say you're bored and they'll let you have a go Are they his big boy climbing wellies or are they yours he's borrowed ? -
Cut the front off the axe head and weld it to a solid post and it will look the part, nice job and well thought out.
-
Where's the picture ? ( Just asking 'cos it's in the picture section that's all )
-
Did you use the trampoline to get into the tree ?
-
Does it rev it's ollox off because it's tuned weak ?
-
Just done some googling and it is a closed bearing they call it a support bushing but I can't see a UK supplier. How much is a clutch with bearing? Is looking like the best option.
-
Did it have that bearing in the clutch ? You could measure it up and look on somewhere like bearingboys but it shouldn't have a sealed outer cage if the clutch is running on it.

A couple of years ago the wife and I were out walking and found a laptop in a hedge bottom. I took it home thinking it might be good for parts and after it had dried out I tried it and it worked. It was password protected so I formatted it and put Ubuntu Linux on it and it still works now but I didn't get to see if it had any porn on it but it could be the next thing in hedge bottom porn.
-
Water it when you first make a heap. We used to do it many years ago when I worked on the school gardens. It helps keep it all in one place and it compresses down quicker.
-
No it's been there so long the tree grew through it
-
I've looked through them and if the bidding doesn't go crazy there are going to be some bargains.

Round here it's called community service

I like watching treemotion videos, not so much this one though. Get it fixed and get back to work Dan, hope it heals well.

I just commented on it as I thought the 046 was an 044 and saw the decomp button. When I was repairing mine I saw there were cylinders for sale with decomp buttons so on looking into it the 044 was available with two different size small end bearings and also with or without decomp. There was a discussion on the American site about it. Just out of interest my 036 has no decomp but all the ones I've seen have. I don't have time to have "issues" with anything never mind something as trivial as a decomp button
-
It's my favourite saw at the moment. Happy now?
-
I've got an 044 but it has no decomp, starts easily without it though.
-
Is this one, I can't see the picture very clearly but it looks like 242 on the plate. Not much left of it.
