Great! Thanks for clearing that up!
-
Hi adw, thanks for that. None of the handle wiring seems to have been disturbed, I understand there is no need for this carb heater here but if I just snip it off does it upset the heater wiring to the handles?
-
Hi Steve, If you look at the pic it is joined to the heater plate at one end, it's what I do with the loose end is the problem. Perhaps another pic will help.
-
Bought the above as a box of bits that the owner (understandably) couldn't put back together! My question concerns the carb heater pad which has a stray wire on it that I don't know how to position. I assume it is a ground wire but I have no idea where it goes. Help!

Wish I only had three saws in my garage.......
-
It was so cold on Thursday, had the 242xpg out. Warm as toast, who could want for more, especially with its naughty exhaust....
-
Started this morning again, ok but a little tight for a little saw. Anyway, runs up fine and tick over a treat now. Advertised today. I need to sell some saws as I am overrun with small ones.....
-
Ah, but but but! Having dismantled it, checked rings were free, cleaned pot with w&d and WD40 and then given it a good scrub in hot soapy water, I'm inclined to think it responded to some selected language this morning....
-
Ok, fuelled up this morning, still pulled over with difficulty but in desperation, I gave it a shot of WD40 down the plug hole. Eased up and with a small injection of fuel up the hole, started! Needs a tune but what the hell, I'll do it later. Off to my, perfect nick, OleoMac 2640 that I haven't started for two years. Thanks for all the suggestions and comments.
-
Oh! Sorry Steve, only finished putting it back together today as have been doing other saws. Couldn't find anything wrong at all, haven't tried to start it yet but still very firm on the starter. Will post back upon the morrow!
-
Try the manualslib site, no signing up nonsense and free.
-
That's what I thought Steve, as I do the same thing but he says that he leaves the bolts and nuts on and then put the whole thing back in the frame. Can't see that at all.
-
How does that work? Those bottom nuts must raise the motor unit by 4mm or so and the same amount for the clutch and flywheel. Can't see that at all.
-
That's what I do and then leave it for 24hours for the sealing material to go off. Pity they don't bolt up before you fit them though. Put manifold back on today, will let you know what happens when I've finished.
-
Sorry Spud, not a trace of any old oil anywhere, not tight bits on crank, bearings excellent. Just started reassembling and forgot to put the manifold on. Idiot!
-
Pulley normal size, piston and barrel original stihl, with very little wear. No abnormal carbon buildup in combustion chamber. As stated earlier, this is a saw that has seen very little use. Starter cover looks like a straight swap for a 211 with nothing wrong with the action. How do you lot get the sealant off the clamshell joint? And thanks for all the input!
-
Hi Guys, Episode 2: Have taken saw apart to find crankcase absolutely clean, no dodgy bearing, nothing loose or any gooey cack anywhere. Saw has standard 211 starter without easy start even though it says it's a 211c on the label. Combustion chamber also v. clean. How do you get the old joint sealant off? Beginning to think that Stubby's breakfast advice is worth listening to.....
-
Was a bit busy. Have stripped it but not removed barrel yet. I hate clamshell saws! I'll let you know what I find upon the morrow!
-
Definitely gets tighter as it passes the exhaust port. I thought that somehow some chain oil had got into the crankcase but it's been upside down for 24 hours and not a single drip. Going to dismantle it this afternoon.
-
Hi Steve, First thing I did, absolutely clear, nothing there. As I said earlier, pulls over fine with no plug in. With plug in it will still turn over but with a great deal of difficulty. Ridiculous on such a small saw. Thanks for your two pennorth!
-
I was just starting to consider that possibility myself, if it is an easy start model, that's definitely not working!
-
I had an excellent breakfast, thank you Stubby! Yesterday's was no help either!
-
Flywheel not catching, as I said it turns over perfectly, no strange feeling or noises, without the plug in. No excess carbon in combustion chamber. Never come across this before..
-
Correct plug, have removed exhaust, clean as a whistle.
-
Hi Guys 211c I took in part-ex. Very little use. Turns over perfectly without the sparkplug. Replace plug and it is like pulling over a 1000cc saw. No fuel in crankcase, piston clean and smooth. Can't even pull it over properly to get a reading on compression tester. Ideas very welcome, got me stumped. TIA.
