That degree of carbon buildup in the exhaust seems a lot. I'd be tempted to pull off the pot and see how much crap is inside.

Ho!Ho! What a game....fabulous! Even Wayne Barnes had a good game for a change..
-
Sorry about that, it was the right way up when I attached it!
-
Don't know if it's attached, if not will try later...

PS...I've also given up looking for saws on the bay, punters are paying silly money for shite saws and good ones don't fetch that much more, even if you describe them accurately and have good feedback.

Just put a new Meteor piston in a lightly seized 026 that otherwise is in very good nick. Haven't pressure and vacuumed it yet but it's pulling over 200psi. I'll want good money for it though!

This thread is becoming weirdly silly! In the town where I live, the indigenous population, of which there aren't that many left, call kindling "morning wood" which always make me laff uncontrollably, especially when the term is used by old ladies!

I think it's just a costume so he can have a controversial avatar. Probably normally works in beanie and Kevlar jockstrap...

Recently made one out of a 2" piece of scaffold tube with a morse taper drill bit remover welded on as the pick. Squash the scaffold tube to fit a 2ft axe handle et voila!

The one I like the most is from a certain E. Hemingway: " if it flies, floats or f**ks, rent it!

Gutted, like having your best saw nicked at the start of the season...😅

Really old Elwell maul for me. Home use only but between 4 &5 tonnes a year. 63 but obviously with the body of a 39 year old!

Hi Chaps Thanks for replies, I cleaned off all the transfer before fitting piston the right way round! Gunson reads 145psi. Plug sparking ok. Saw coughs on choke and then starts on fast idle but only runs for a couple of seconds and then quits. Really seems like fuel but I'm buggered if I can see why.

Hi Steve and Wisco Managed to get back to the 435 again, as suggested, pulled it over on full choke 15 times without using the bulb and got fuel in both pumping and metering chambers. Fuel lines appear ok ( blow down the long one that goes to the bulb and fuel comes out of the carb fuel pipe and holds pressure if you do the same thing with your finger over the end. Seriously stuck now.......
-
Hi Steve, I am talking about the pumping one. The black, rubbery one with the metal disc in the middle! On Wisco's ipl it is shown with the harder, thicker gasket between it and the carb body. Didn't look right to me either. I shall assemble it your way round and see what occurs!
-
Bloody predictive spelling has got me now! Wisconsin indeed!

Hi Spud and Wisconsin, First chance I've had this week to look at that 435 carb again.the valve you mentioned testing by blowing through. I can just about blow through it with a bit of fuel hose, although not easily, but it is closed on suck. The carb ipl you thoughtfully posted shows the gasket between the carb body and the diaphragm, contrary to what Spud said although I think he may be correct. Thoughts again? And, of course, thanks for your great input!
-
Thanks Guys, I'll dismantle it again in the morning. The service kit is right, not a generic one. Will let you know..
-
Hi Steve, Only teasing. I'ts difficult to put them in the wrong way as there's a locating pin on the end plate that goes through all the parts. If I pressurise the inlet it holds it fine but the pressure doesn't fall of fluctuate if I pull the engine over. This would be consistent with it not fuelling. Doing my head in quietly.....
-
Oh Spud, If Lumped means pumped, yes it holds lots of pressure but it doesn't reduce when the engine is pulled over which it should ( I think) when the impulse pressure is working.
-
Hi You Two! Don't know if Spud's been on the cizzer but I don't know what a soccer or lumped means! The ipl I looked at shows the thick gasket between the pumping diaphragm and the carb body. Primer hoses are the right way round and no problem with the bulb ( tested with finger over inlet and outlet). Carb is Zama EL41A O2A. Thanks for helping out!
-
Definitely carb related. Plug dry. Changed diaphragms and needle valve but did not replace welch plugs. Internal filter clean. Carb cleaner coming out of all the right holes. H and L screws set to the rather strange factory settings of 2 and 2and1/2 turns. Just behaving as if no fuel is getting in. Hoses checked no leaks. Checked all diaphragms in correctly??
-
Hi Chaps I have a chum's 435 in which I have replaced a scored piston. Pressure and vac checks ok, it starts after priming the bulb but won't run. Have fitted new carb kit from Hugo without improvement. Fuel inlet clear when carb dismantled but if I pressurise it after assembly there is no drop in pressure if I pull the saw over. Impulse is not blocked. Any suggestions? This could get you a splined screwdriver for Christmas, Spud!

Hi Sawtroll As far as I can see, non-"easy" tension models have two bar studs. I can find no modification kit and the husky rep I met today didn't know of one either. What I was going to do was, fit a longer bar stud (the toolless one is very short) and replace the fiddly locking knob with a 2mm steel washer of the same diameter and put a normal bar nut on it. Washer should be strong enough to allow bolt to be normally tightened without distorting and allow sufficient force on the bar to stop it moving. This method will also allow you to used the knurled wheel adjuster. Any comments?

Hi Chaps Have a mate's 236 in at the moment, strangely, with the chain getting slack all the time! Apart from getting a longer bar stud, what else do it need to reverse- engineer it back to a normal adjustment system using difficult to use tools like a spanner and screwdriver?
